I am here in Nairobi, Kenya. I am three hours ahead of all you guys there in the UK. I have worked my way through every item on the room service menu and yet I am still hungry, all I want is some chocolate – Galaxy would be preferable.

Most hotels we stay in have a shop within the confines of the hotel, this one doesn’t. What it does have is a curfew by which I mean crew are not allowed out after dark due to safety and security reasons which means the supermarket nearby is inaccessible.

To add insult to injury I know I have a huge bar of Galaxy at home on my side which I though I could bring with me but I though ‘nah, I’ll get it when I get there’. I won’t be making that mistake again any time soon!

Anyway, enough with the chocolate-related rant.

I’ll write again soon if I make it through the night.

Mike.

I know what you’re thinking… I’m up early?? No. I am still in LA, its just gone 10 o’clock in the evening and I am shattered. We’ve had a busy day at Six Flags: Magic Mountain, we didn’t quite make it to Fright Fest but it was a fantastic day nonetheless. Four of us went in total, we took one of the vans Virgin provide us with at the hotel, its only a 40 minute drive away. The photos as usual will be on here soon.

I’ll tell you now, the superman ride knocked it out of us, especially after we polished off a lot of pizza just before we went on!

Batman The Ride, Superman The Escape, Colossus, Gold Rusher, Tatsu and Viper are the rides that kept us entertained all day long. And although we only touched the surface compared to the amount of rides they have there it was well worth every penny.

I’ve been out shopping too, can you believe, I’ve crammed so much into today! I just love walking around Pasadena, its so mild out at night, just jeans and a t-shirt even in October, its great.

I’m now chillin’ in my room, on iTunes sorting out my library, its such a mess.

Check out is tomorrow afternoon/ evening (12th) so we get the best part of the day here before we leave, its great. I certainly can’t complain about this job, I just can’t get over the fact that we get paid to do this. Sorry to use an American expression but its awesome.

Hi guys, I thought I’d check in with you all, I am off to LA tomorrow for two nights. Hopefully it will be a fun filled trip. I think Six Flags has a fright night as do Universal so a few crew might be up for that.

I am away on the later LA flight, the VS23 (as opposed to the VS7) not that it makes ay real difference, just means I get the better part of the last day to wander the sidewalks of Pasadena and hit the shops one last time before I come home that evening.

This isn’t the only time I will be off to LA this month, I have the same flight later on in the month actually over Halloween, which again I hope will be a great trip!

I haven’t been to LA for a while, the last time was in April with my girlfriend for our two month anniversary (awww).

Anyways, I am off to pack and do some more work, which I am meant to be doing as I write this little short message to you all.

Laters potatas!

Hello all. I am writing this from my hotel room in Orlando, Florida. I’ve just been shopping and am now chillaxin’ before my flight home tonight.

I am going to keep this brief as I need to go and get ready in a little while. Check back here soon for all my trip photos and more.

Well, all in all I’ve had a pretty productive day (4th October). My room is almost complete. I’ve been to IKEA to pick up the wardrobe and the new blinds and its looking good.

I’m off to Orlando in the morning, I’m not working though, I’m dead heading, the little perk I am yet to experience so it should be fun.

I am off to bed now as I have an early start.

Laters potatas!
