Hi I’m Ben and while Nick and Jo are away I’ll be keeping you up to date on their tour around America, sharing with you where they are, some of their experiences and a competition prize or two.

As well as this blog we’ll also keep Twitter and Facebook streams updated for you to follow along.

So as our intrepid travellers board their British Airways flight to Seattle, we wish them a safe journey and hope their iPad’s battery lasts the whole 10 hours.

Bon voyage
