A day of travel... Off to New Jersey today but finally from Gatwick which is great as it means I don't have to make the trek all the way to Heathrow for once!

People were great at check-in and everything went so quickly. Flight was fairly boring and once at Newark after hours waiting to get through customs it was only a few more hours until Ian arrived from Heathrow.

Met up with Ian who was in great spirits after being on an empty flight with a yoga instructor! We caught a pre-booked car (where they wait with signage in arrivals) out to East Brunswick to our hotel that was in the middle of no where. It's funny when people say oh you lead such a luxurious lifestyle... Really? I think pictures are really what speak!

With the two of us hungry the hotel recommended catching a cab which basically took us across a highway for a silly amount of money to Famous Dave's. Ian and I ordered some starters and once they came realized we didn't need any mains!

After dinner we decided to walk back to the hotel which was more of an adventure than an evening stroll! No sidewalk, long wet grass, and cars whizzing by on the freeway not the best idea but hey it was definitely an experience! I did learn though that Ian was scared of Frogs as he freaked out when one jumped in front of him. He said he wasn't keen on nature and if there had been any snakes I'd have had to carry him back!! Brilliant! And so the Adventures of Ian and Ashley continue on...
