Not much has happened since my last post rally-wise, but a mini-adventure is on the horizon, something to quench the adventurists thirst! A journey that mesmerises and captivates thousands each year, this voyage of discovery is none other than a hop over the Atlantic, yes two thirds of Team Swift (therefore by majority rounded up to the whole of the team), will be gracing the great “US of A” with their presence, Mike & myself will be jetting off to New York this Thursday! Bring it on!!!

I’ve gotten in contact with another rally team, “the rolling cones”, who have a member based in New York and as such have latched onto them like a parasite, feeding off their planned parties and generally imposing myself on their social life!

So we have a rocking night planned on the 2nd night, which by coincidence happens to be one block from our hotel, so some drunken jay walking is pretty much a given.

Then on the 3rd night there’s a rally tea party event, where you get to meet past rally teams, and drink your favourite brew whilst eating cakes and listening to tales of adventuresome people. This ultimately will lead to a messy night as all these events are certain to do.

That then leaves another night to make nuisances of ourselves in the city that never sleeps.

I have chosen a hotel (http://travel.nytimes.com/2007/01/07/travel/07check.html) that may well prove to be either a classic haunt or a complete nightmare; it has an unusual history and shared toilets so bring on the fun!

So until we’ve completed our mini adventure, take care people. Updates of our misadventures to follow...
