Friday afternoon we are off to the US of A for a long weekend trip. The destination is Boston via Bangor, Maine (yes I can hear the old song ).

.

As a parent one of the amazing (and happy) things happened when Julie and I announced we were going to Boston to see Tina Turner in concert..... Both Kathryn and Gemma wanted to come along. How many 21 and 18 year olds want to go to a concert with their middle aged parents?  It wasn't because Dad was paying, they volunteered to contribute. Anyway whatever I am pleased they want to come along and I am sure we will have a good time. Fingers crossed that Tina Turner delivers a great concert.

.

The only downside is the current US Dollar / Canadian Dollar exchange rate is very poor (I think the CAD $ is at around 87c US). Luckily we have already paid for the concert and hotel rooms a couple of months ago. Plus the petrol prices dropped again today.  85c a Litre  so the cost of driving down will not be too bad. The trip will give me chance to really check out the gas guzzling nature of my new Ford Escape.

I will let you know how the trip goes and get some photos for the entry. Who knows maybe Tina will pose for me
