2002-2005 (c) GetJealous.com, All rights reserved. http://www.getjealous.com/tuney/rss.xml Welcome to our round the world trip which takes us away from the daily grind back at home. We can share with you our adventures and experiences from India to Canada... and we can tell you that the diversity of life and culture around the world is mind boggling at times! Enjoy trawling through our pics and movies and getting an insight in to what we got up to for the last year by reading our diary entries... I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we actually enjoyed visiting all the weird and wonderful places. One thing is for sure we will never forget this year. Its definitely something to treasure for years to come... Sarah and Mick xxx http://www.getjealous.com/tuney http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521582&go=tuney I am sure we will keep adding to this list as time goes on but for now, here is a shortish list of a few things about our trip (in no particular order...) We have circumvented the globe in just short of 12 months...which is 25,000 miles...but we have definitely covered more miles than that in our travels within the countries we have visited! 12 countries in nearly 12 months (India, Thailan... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521582&go=tuney Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521590&go=tuney Yesterday we "met" the parents of Mick and probably talked gibberish to them in our half comatosed "lack of sleep" state...today was the turn of my folks. Driving up to Geordieland was another weird experience...nothing has changed...although I don't know why expected it would!!Seeing my parents was really great and it is the longest time in my whole life that I haven't seen my... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521590&go=tuney Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521214&go=tuney Well its now 5.15am and we are in Terminal 4 awaiting our shuttle bus to Terminal 5. It seemed to take an age for the bus to arrive and I must admit to being a bit twitchy by the time it arrived. We have heard mixed reviews of T5 and I think when it first opened a few months ago they still had enormous teething problems...but we were blown away by the sheer size and snazziness of this place.It was... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521214&go=tuney Sun, 14 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521213&go=tuney Allie and Tim dropped us off at Boston Logan airport and it was a breeze at check in for the BA flight home. Its the end of an era for us today and the end of our year long trip and we both had mixed feelings as we clutched our boarding passes as we made our way through security.Boston Logan airport served us well and we had our last taste of American fare and its probably just as well as my trous... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521213&go=tuney Sat, 13 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521212&go=tuney The 13th...well unlucky for us we have to leave the US today and leave behind us our backpacking days. It took about 2 hours and we managed to pack all our remaining gear and our newly acquired gifts and gadgets that we have bought over the last few weeks into the bags that we had.Allie and Tim took us to the local bagel place for lunch and then we had our last look at the US by going to the seat ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521212&go=tuney Sat, 13 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521209&go=tuney Well the time has come and we have spent our last full day on our travels and tonight is our last night abroad and we both have very mixed feelings about the end of our trip. Its certainly been a busy few weeks and months!We got off the "T" and Allie rang Tim so we decided to meet him at a local bar in Cambridge. The boys were well and truly on their beers whereas the girls stuck to the... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=521209&go=tuney Fri, 12 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=520096&go=tuney After our night out last night we were a bit slow to get going again this morning but we thought we should go into downtown Boston today as its our last full day on our trip and the last opportunity to sample a bit of what Boston has to offer.We were due to meet Allie for lunch a bit later on so we got the "T" (the subway) into the downtown area just near Copley plaza and the very imposi... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=520096&go=tuney Fri, 12 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=520088&go=tuney After a long lie in and both of us seemingly having the lazy gene we didn't get up to much today. Our excuse was that we were saving ourselves for the night out tonight with the Haley clan!As part of Allie's birthday celebrations and the fact that her parents were in town on their way to flying to Bermuda - it seemed like a great excuse for dinner. Allie's sister and her husband and her brother al... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=520088&go=tuney Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=520094&go=tuney After our ferry trip across the harbour we tracked down the "T" station at the Aquarium. Boston has a subway system they call the "T" and we bought a pass that would get us unlimited travel for next to nothing and was ready to negotiate the subway.We had to change twice to get on to the red line to take us back to Cambridge. The trains are really frequent and pretty nice so it ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=520094&go=tuney Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=520087&go=tuney Welcome to Charlestown Navy yard was the sign that greeted us on arrival on the other side of the water. Here we could appreciate the skyline views back to downtown Boston where we have just been. This Navy yard used to be massive but the majority of the working piers were dismantled after WWII and given back to the city of Boston and residential and office developments now replace the working doc... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=520087&go=tuney Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT
