Wow, allan, I had no idea it was the one year anniversary of your trip. That's really freaky. I like ddw's idea of the bus pass I think it'll be a great way of getting round, I know my parents won't be happy about me going by myself. But if this turns into a mudcat adventure then I'm sure I may be able to persuade someone to come with me.

The thing is, I want to see america, but I really want to meet mudcatters too. I hate not being able to put names to faces, if only to find out who is taking the mick out of me all the time, so I can get my own back.

Would I be the youngest mudcatter to do something like this then at 20, well 21 by then?
