Introduction

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to.... the first post of our shiny new USA blog!

Tomorrow morning, we leave for New York, flying from Manchester airport at roughly midday. We're away for almost exactly a month, during which time we'll be holidaying and frisbeeing in New York, Florida, California and Nevada. Yeah, it's actually four states, not three - something I overlooked when thinking of the blog title!

We've basically set up this online diary to keep everyone updated and informed on where we are in the US, and what we're up to while we're there (or at least, the stuff we can tell you..). It's for friends, family, our fellow frisbee players, and it's also for ourselves; as a record of our travels, and a way to communicate with home in truly 21st Century style (although really, 'blogs' were fashionable online in about 2004)! We hope to not only write about our assorted activities and endeavours, but use our technoligcal capacities to, yes, post a few photos and videos too - we'll see how it goes and whether that'll be possible.

The layout of this page is very much still in the 'experimental' stage - so if you have any suggestions on how to make it more readable, then please leave us a comment (as far as I know, it's possible for anyone to write a comment on any entry or 'post' we make)!

Before we undergo embarkation, I'd like to say a few thankyou's on behalf of us both. Thanks to everyone from the freestyle community who will be shortly letting us stay a few nights in their homes, and thanks to my family in SF / Marin who will be doing the same. Thanks to our families at home for supporting us in various and numerous ways, to Kate for booking our flights, and, of course, to you for reading.

Joe
