This'll be a fairly brief postcard today. Class went well, and was fairly uneventful. After it finished, I returned to the hotel, put my feet up for a while, and then took a drive up I93 to Rockingham to have a look around the mall; hardly riviting stuff.

On my return to the hotel, I went to have my supper. Today I had cajun scallops, which were rather delicious. The chef would appear to be a rather good seafood chef.

And I've just about decided that this weekend, I'm going to do the Hampton Beach and Ogunquit thing, and a stroll around Boston. 'Tis a shame the eagle was caught.

A little bit longer time to report, but probably not as much to report. Yesterday evening I was very tired - unbelievably tired. It kind of hit home that there was a time difference, and I'm not sure if it's the age, or what, but I'm feeling the time difference somewhat more than last time I came to America. I'm certainly feeling my age.

Today was a work day. I got up bright and breezy, twice. Once at two in the morning, and once at 6am. Got ready, and headed off for Andover. I was pleasantly surprised that the journey didn't take any longer this morning than it did last night. The weather reminded me of England quite nicely, except the fog and rain were warm, and the air humid.

04:00 BST / 23:00 Sunday Local

I'm here at the hotel, as you've previously got Sunday's page, no doubt you've realised I've got an internet connection as well. Irony of irony's is that I didn't have to set up an internet account, by the look of it, as there is an Internet Access Point in the room. My network card and cable, however, are on the other side of the atlantic... But that's getting beyond the moment.

I've managed to get over the worst bit, and that's the most important thing. To say that I was scared about the flight is a slight understatement. To say that I was panicking about the trip, again, is a slight understatement. I must hold the world record for the number of times I checked my tickets, passport and driving licence, and an all time record for the length of time to pack for the journey. Seven days, near enough, from start to finish.
