We decided to stay a few more days in New York, there was so much to do and see and we just loved it! The place and people were great, they don't half say it how it is and never understood our yorkshire accents, we were even called liverpudlians!! So the last few days in new york were more chilled out, we walked around little italy, soho, and chinatown and went to the statue of liberty. Also walked across Brooklyn Bridge and bought a painting gfrom a spray painting guy who was awesome. After all the sightseeing we just chilled out in central park and played ball games, then to finish off our time in New York we went to a proper Manhattan style cocktail bar, we felt lie we were in Sex and the City!
Went on an all access tour around Madison Sq Gardens yesterday, it was so good seeing all of the basketball and ice hockey locker rooms and arena, we even got to see one of the basketball players shoes - UK size 20! When we walked in the theatre part we even saw Steven Merchant! ha ha lol
We've eventually finalised our plans for the east coast with help (or if you can call it that) from Joey, an old guy at the greyhound info desk who told us we don't need a map as he's got it all in his head, so we asked him if he fancied coming with us! So here is a rought guide to our plans:
- We're in Boston now 23rd - 26th 
- Moving onto Montreal on the 26th - 29th
- Toronto 29th - 2nd May
- Niagara Falls 2nd - 5th
- Cleveland 5th - 7th
- Pittsburgh 7th - 9th
- Washington DC 9th - 12th
- Philadelphia 12th - 14th
- Back to New York for our flight on the 15th over to San Fransisco
We're off by bus, Greyhound most likely although to get to Boston we caught the Fung Wah -a chinese bus that only cost us $15 each for a 4 hour ride which was a bit bumpy!!
So far Boston seems more chilled out than NY, and the hostel is great, we've even got our own little apartment at the top. Off for a meal tonight and to plan our next few days here, so we'll keep you posted
All our love Team RA

Hi - great to see you're having such a good time and can't believe how much you've packed in already. Nothing to do here now with no more leaving-do's for you.

Now then TEAM RA hope all is well. Loving the blog and all the photos - everywhere you go looks awesome! It seems like you have been away ages but you have done more in a week than most people do in a month - and not only that but your rubbing shoulders with the likes of Mr. Merchant himself now! Keep on coming with the updates as its great to see what you have both been up to and just a little pointer for Rich to keep working on that pitch - the throwing action is great, its just the chin.....brucey, brucey!
Take care and speak soon,
