I FINALLY MADE IT! 17 hours after leaving St Louis I arrived in Dallas, Texas

And it was pissing it down!

I was so fucked off, hadn’t slept at all on the coach it’s 6:30am, I’m drenched, I have no WiFi to order an Uber and generally annoyed so Dallas didn’t get off to the best of starts!

I made my way to my hostel which was about a 20 minute walk from the bus station, carrying two bags which were heavy on roads with no pavements. I knew I was far too early to check into my hostel but I was just hoping to leave my bags there and maybe sit down. However Lady Luck must of been looking down at me as the woman on reception let me check in at 7am which was 9 hours early! I could of cried, I was tired and just wanted to sleep so I ran to my room threw all my stuff on my bed and just passed out. I was lucky enough to remember to set my alarm for the Liverpool V City game.

I had a few hours sleep and went to find a bar for the game. Ended up going with a guy called Bruno who was staying in my hostel to an Irish bar for the game. We got talking to a guy from St Louis who was a Liverpool fan who used to live in Sheffield 😂😂 then a Manc came in from fallowfield!

Liverpool lost but it was a good laugh having a few beers watching the game - felt like home for a bit

After the game I went back the hostel and just slept all afternoon and all night.

I was exhaustedLeia mais

I left St Louis today and had a 17 hour journey ahead of me to Texas. The journey wasn’t too bad to be fair, we had a 2 hour change over at Memphis but it was more like 3 hours by the time we left. I just watched a few movies and started to watch jack ryan on amazon which was half Decent I enjoyed it! I am due in Dallas Texas 6am tomorrow morning.

I just want to sleepLeia mais

So today was my last full day in St Louis - time has flown and I’ve enjoyed myself so much and it was brilliant to see David after so long.

We didn’t do much today we just sat around and chilled in the house, ate chick fil-a and watched movies. It was the perfect way to bring my time to and end in St Louis. I’ve just attached a few photos that I’ve not posted beforeLeia mais

So David and Katie where kind enough and got me tickets for the St Louis Blues NHL game for Christmas as they knew I’d always wanted to see it.

The tickets were awesome, David’s boss had rink side seats which included $25 of credit per ticket to use on food/drinks. St Louis lost 2-1 to the New York Rangers but it was a brilliant game and I loved every second of it!

We decided for New Years we would go to the Casino and try and get tickets to a bar or something in there as we left it kinda last minute! We get there.... all sold out! So we just decide to get a few drinks and watch the UFC fight with Jon Bones Jones which was cool...
Still prefer boxing

We go the casino and the girl checking ID’s on the desk claims her family is from Liverpool.... I ask where and she says ‘Runcorn’ I just walked away. We grab something to eat in the Asia restaurant in the casino I got a pad Thai... gonna compared it to Thailand when I get there hahahah.

I borrow both David and Katie $100 each as they had no cash and they wanted to play blackjack - the dealer they had was definitely a stripper or something... it wasn’t bad to just stand there and watch.... she was super friendly. Anyways we count down the new year at the table with Katie being up on her bets and David being down hahahahah. I lend David another $100 to go play poker... he pays me back instantly as he Wins like $250 on his first hand and he eventually walks away around $60 up I think it was

Next it was my turn to gamble, we headed over to the roulette table as it’s the only thing I enjoy playing. I throw a $100 chip on black. Im feeling lucky.

BOOM

Black comes in, I take 100 away and leave the other 100 on black.

BOOM

Black again!

Now I have a system when it comes to roulette- black black, red black

However I wasn’t feeling that it was going to be red, so instead of breaking my system I just took my money off the table and lucky for me it was black again!

I throw 200 down for red and it comes in, I walk away around 400 for the night so I was a happy guy and it was a brilliant way to bring in the new year!Leia mais

We met up with Lucas and Hannah today and we went to the Budweiser brewery to see all the lights which was awesome and you got a free beer too Hahahaha. We went to the drunken fish afterwards for tea and I tried sushi for the first time which wasn’t bad at all. I quite liked it. We sat around the table, drank beer, ate food and talked till quite late.

We made plans to go watch Lucas play in his indoor footy game tomorrow so we have That to look forward to tomorrow!Leia mais

So today was an eventful one.

David took me the shooting range, it was unreal. Proper enjoyed it and will definitely do it again. We shot a 45, and a 9mm 2 types of each and it is massively addictive. I wasn’t too bad at it at all, managed a fair few good shots and managed to group them too which was cool.

Later on in the evening we met up with some of David’s friends Lucas and Hannah and we went to do an escape room which we managed to escape with less than 60 seconds to go! I wasn’t that great at the clues to be fair 😂😂

After the escape room we went to St Louis’s highest bar called 360 for a meal and a few drinks. It was awesome the view was class and the food wasn’t bad either!Leia mais

IIIIIITTTTTSSSSS CHRRRRIIIISSSTMAAAAAS!!

First Christmas away from home and it was brilliant!

Katie and I made the Christmas Dinner which turned out to be amazing. I bought some Yorkshire pudding mix from the British Shop and I had already brought David some bistro gravy which I had carried all around the states!

The dinner was half vegan half normal hahaha - Katie had made us Vegas mashed potatoes and stuffing but she bought David and I a beef tenderloin which I cooked- it was delicious!

It was a really nice dinner with even better company!

We exchanged presents so I gave them their perfume which again I had carried all around the USA and tried not to damage. They where super generous and got me some money, socks, bills, chocolate and even a brand new pair of trainers which are gorgeous!

After our meal and presents we all went ice skating which was nice - I’m not very good at it 😂😂 after that we went back to the house and pretty much passed out after an eventful day!Leia mais

I hate David....

We gorge ourselves on pizza and ice cream last night so I was feeling pretty sluggish but he signed us up for a 9am class at the gym for a HIT Hot Yoga session.

I’d never done Yoga before and omg I’m so inflexible Hahahaha was shocking. I felt so sick during it and I probably lost about a stone in sweat Hahahaha.

After the gym we went to a little town in St Charles which was very pretty! There was a ‘British Shop’ there so we had to go in! It was cool like but the prices where insane... $13 for some weetabix hahahahaha.

I ended up treating David to some British food - cost me nearly 30 quid like 😂😂😂

Later on we watched the first Harry Potter before bed waiting for Father Christmas 🎄Leia mais

So today was a chill day, went the gym in the morning with David and then we pretty much just chilled all day, we went out for a beer or two and a little bit of shopping for Xmas presents. We then went back to the house, ate loads of pizza and ice cream and watched elf on the couchLeia mais
