Tell me about it, I've been called many things but a meth dealer is a new one. I've put some pics on my home page.

Well I'll try to keep it short, we flew into Houston and damn was it hot. Got to the hotel and had a few beers (had my first taste of Lone Star beer). Went to a country and western bar , had a great time. I never realised those folks took their dancing so seriously. Headed down to New Orleans, it gets a bit hazy here, can't remember too much about it. Had a great room just off Bourbon St, heard some great music and had some weird and wonderful drinks.
Went down to Gulf Shores Alabama next, it was pretty quiet and the hotel was pretty bad but the natives we're friendly and the beer was cold ( what more do you need). Some of the locals asked me if I could get them any crystal meth ! they thought I was a dealer. I told them I wouldn't even know what it looked like.
Had another few days in N/O then back to Houston then home. Back to reality now, back to work to; Damn.

In my experience, which is somewhat limited, but when I lived in Tenn and traveled around, people were real nice. Men were polite. That threw me. Not use to that in CA. Women weren't always eying you like they thought you were going to steal something or someone. Invited us in like family! I enjoyed it.

Im looking forward to Alabama, never been before. I've visted quiet a bit of the states, I done a lot of travelling around a good few years ago. Never got up to Minnesotta. So you're not far from Wisconsin, isn't that where Ed Gein was from.
I was in Seattle last year and dove over to Yellowstone. I've got family in Montana, great place to visit.
Im just about to fire up the BBQ, got some pals coming over for a few beers, have a good Saturday...

Thanks for all the tips, keep em coming. I'll be packing summer clothes (which ain't really much different from my winter clothes) I've been known to wear a Hawaian shirt when its snowing. Im going to head down into Alabama too, what can I expect. Are the natives friendly ?

A pool, thats a luxury. Everyone in the U.S seems to have one. Over here in Blighty they're only for the rich and famous. I pool and you don't want to know the things you find floating around in there.

Hey Bone! Houston is hot and humid. My ex lives there (all my ex'es live in Texas, ha, ha. Even though I only have one, I swear he has multiple personalities and he's enough). Have an awesome time. We were cold here in Nor Cal. It barely got into the 70's (hee, hee ~ sorry guys).

Thinking about it I reckon our weathers pretty easy going compared to yours. I saw that movie Fargo and Minesotta looked just a bit too cold for my liking. Then again we get 2inches of snow here and the whole country comes to a standstill.

I'm still in rainy London (theres a rumour going around that its the Summer), get to Houston on the 27th. Only there for a couple of nights so we miss the Kid gig. To say Im pissed off about it is an understatement. Heading to New Orleans then Alabama then back to Houston on the 8th. Just doing a road trip with drinking buddies from the pub. Not really sure what to expect. Was in N.O about 15 years ago when I was doing some travelling, seem to remember having a good time.
