Welcome to the 'Penniless In Seattle' blog, written by Rose and Phil!


This blog will chronicle our seven-week journey across North America, starting in Seattle, then San Francisco, L.A., Grand Canyon, Phoenix, Washington D.C, Toronto, Boston and finally New York! Along the way we will see many iconic landmarks, and meet many strange backpacker types in the hostels. We'll update this blog as often as possible so you can see what adventures/misadventures we have gone on.And if we don't post for a while, do not assume we're dead, we're probably just sleeping/lazy/stuck in the middle of the Arizona desert.

So yes, we hope you'll join us for the trip starting in 2 weeks, but for now enjoy this cheesy blog logo - it captures the spirit of adventure nicely. Mmmm...

That logo is not the kind of manly logo that I would expect of Phil 'wandering hands, loose morals' Horton. I would hope for at east one lady on each arm fighting over you.

Yeeeee Haaaa!
Steer well clear of men dressed in 80's suits with a bible in one hand and diamonds in their teeth - oh, and of course, anyone with a passing resemblance to the deradful Liza Minelli!
Have a great trip y'all!
Lots of love

Yaaaaay, - and they're off!! Greyhounds out of the traps and all that. Speaking of greyhounds, hope all your bus journeys are interesting (but safe) - surely the buses can never fail to provide some interest! Can't wait to hear about the beginning stages...

Lots of Anglo-American love,

Hey girlie! Heard you made it over the water and are now in the Sleepless city. Hope you got plenty on the flight and are not suffering too much with jet lag. Look after each other and have a fab time.

Greetings, you two travellers, and welcome to my country - where all the men are strong, all the women are good looking and all the children are above average. I hope you meet only fascinating, warm-hearted, generous people who'll help you on your way. Watch out for any toothless, banjo playing hillbillies.
Love
Susie
