The first day

29th December 2008


A very hectic day which started very early - we woke at 5.30am. We have made some attempt to adjust our body clocks but seem stuck on East Coast time at the moment!


Our hotel is great. There is a separate bedroom, kitchen and bathroom and we have a lot of space in which to make a mess. The plant manager had sorted us a rental car out so we went to pick that up. Unfortunately, but joyously for Ed, they didn't have the medium sized car we had reserved so they upgraded us for free to a Ford Flex, a 'car' which makes Ed look small -->


We spent most of the day driving around and figuring out where we are. We seem to have brought the Manchester rain with us, although I suspect it was already here, so visibilty has been pretty bad. We sorted out a few practical bits, social security number and bank account and managed to fit in to our busy schedule a stop off for some all american fries for Eddie. We are yet to find any wedges!!


Thanks for all your messages and emails. It's nice to know you're thinking about us.


Love liz (and Ed)

  1. We couldn't better the car so thought we'd have a posey backcloth instead

  2. Looks like you nicked Steve Gerrard's car then made a quick getaway. Where you the third man behind the bar?
