  • Oh Canada…

    After the Planes, Trains and Automobiles-esque escapades of yesterday (things would’ve been so much better had John Candy been involved), I’m ready to wave goodbye to the US and head on to Canada. I had planned to arrive in Chicago with enough time last night to sample the city’s famous...

  • No escape

    I’ve got a horrible feeling if I turn around one of these things is going to be lurking behind me: I’ve been trying to leave Champaign and get back to Chicago for the last four hours. Three buses have failed to turn up and when the Chicago-bound Greyhound did arrive, it said Tennessee on...

  • Chicago-a-go-go

    Well that was a lame headline, wasn’t it? I’m not at my writing best today thanks to my brain thinking it’s 2am and the fact I’ve been taking a cocktail of Lemsips every few hours since I left London. I always seem to get the lurgy whenever I have time off from work – maybe...

  • Independent travel

    I booked tickets to fly to Chicago and Toronto today for the first leg of my Nuffield study tour. To say I’m excited is an understatement. I’m now having to confirm the meetings I’ve been tentatively organising over the past few weeks and I’m already thinking I could’ve...
