So good, I’ll blog it twice (One)
I’m headin’ west.
Yes … again.
To the city that never sleeps.
I must remember to pick up an MTA map whilst I’m there …

I started my blog as a continuation of the daily write-up that I did when I got 500 people to give me 50p so that I could buy an iPod.
World Record Holders
There's a lot of tube related stuff on this site due to me being a former World Record Holder for travelling around the entire network (275 stations) in the fastest time possible back in May 2004.
Living in the USA
After living in London for the first 33 years of my life and working for the BBC News website I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in the USA in May 2006 for three and a half years before moving back to England and back to work for the BBC in November 2009.
Underground : USA
So for ten weeks in June, July and August 2009, I drove 20,000 miles around the the lower 48 contiguous states of the USA visiting towns and places that shared the same name as places on The London Tube Map.

Yes, me first!! And Geoff, please pick up a copy of that map forme, please!!
Watch out. Their underground trains aren’t like ours. The lines don’t intersect, and some trains skip stations.
how strange and confusing. Thank goodness for the London Underground
Good luck and have another lovely trip
That ‘giant’ airliner is really concerning me. I hope it doesn’t drop out of the sky from its own weight!!!
Have a great trip in old New YAWWWWWK. Where they really have some accents!
I will wave to you in my American Airline plane as we cross paths over the pond!!!Why would any one keep coming here when they have all that over there?
Genius! Thanks, Geoff. You’ve given me a great idea for a new section on my website.
*runs off to Dreamweaver*
Hello from NY! It’s cold here, but quite quite fantastic. Expect a mega-photo-heavy-blog-fest upon my return! (Wednesday)
Message for my mum : Have bought you the nano!
Message for Helene : Have bought you the nano!
Message for Miles : Haven’t forgotten your giant pretzel
Have also bought myself a new toy, but am not revealing what yet…
Photo heavy…. new toy… you’ve gone and bought that DSLR, haven’t you?
May I use this space to announce that Ian has a ‘new toy’ too? A cute little pink bundle of a new toy??
no you may not!
Congrats, Ian! The only possible excuse for you to become any more cynical has arrived!
Thanks mate!

Thanks Geoff, iPod needed for long N.Z. flight coming up. Stopping of at Malaysia, so could buy a ‘Durian’ for you and bring it home. Tee Hee!
Tina: Please, please, please bring Geoff a durian. Although I’m not sure they’re allowed on aircraft.
And .. I’m back again. Greeting from a T-Mobile wireless hotspot from a Starbucks at Oxford Circus.
Did I get myself that DLSR? Let’s just say that the prices in B&H were very competitive. (And wait for my photo-enriched blog post tomorrow…)
More to the point, did you pick me up an MTA map whilst you were there?
Good time Jeff? When is “Mrs M” come over here?
When’s she gonna become Mrs. M?
Alan .. yes I did! Everytime I walked through my hotel lobby I picked up another copy of “The Map”, I think i’ve got about 5 or 6 in total! Will post you one.
And in answer to your question James – springtime next year.
Well thank you Geoff, you’re a gent. Have you got my address? (Snicker, snicker!)
What do you do for a living Geoff? Really like the site. Keep it coming!
