Travelling Update - New Addition - ..>Jody<..

All,

We found out lynsey was pregnant when we were in Las Vegas. But it looks like Auckland or Queenstown in New Zealand was the place in question. I blame the bungy, tower jumps and fly by wires.

On Sunday 7th Oct 2007 @ 7.07pm Jody Ole Ramsden was born.

Both lynsey & Jody are doing fine, Dads Tired....

Updates...

Ok so were back now! As you'd expect its been quite hectic, sorting everything out, house, jobs, etc. But were doing good, things are falling into place quite nicely, as they always do...

First game back at old trafford was amazing! Spanking roma 7-1... Went the other night aswell when we beat sheffield wednesday in disguise (Sheff United) 2-0 ;) Back on saturday to hopefully overturn middlesbrough. Its sooooo good travelling for 20 mins on a train now, instead of 3hrs+ in a car =)

Things are getting close now in the run-in, our game at chel$ki becoming more & more important. With 5 cup finals to go, im sure we'll be fine. If we have to win at home on the last day of the season, to take the title, ill be a happy man.

I have a couple of updates to post, which ill try to get round to later...

Mourinhoooo are you listenin?

Can you keeeeeep our trophy glistenin?

Cause we'll be back in May, to take it away...

Animal attacks :

1 - me, "situation" with an gecko lizard. Before you laugh - I have video footage of it coming at me, as I was holding the video camera at the time!

Moment I nearly laughed my tits off ;) :

Lynseys face during the Reverse bungy jump in Auckland, New Zealand - Again we have video footage of this, coming to a site called youtube soooon ;)

Nearly needing the hospital :

1 - me, "Situation" with a taxi driver in Sydney - Where he Attempted to break the 0-60mph record, with me having only 1 leg in the taxi. Still not amused...

Most Embarrising moment :

Being asked which room I was in, whilst requesting something from reception. Stating over & over & over again that I was in "1026", thinking they were simply not understanding me. Only for that to be our last hotel room number!

In a confused, yet superior tone - "But we only have 4 floors and 45 rooms, sir"..

erm, ill come back..

For the Penultimate time..

After 16 nights in Orlando, weve got used to being in one place, for a change. But now, weve got to pack again!

The good news is, its the Penultimate time =)

We are obviously gutted that our travels are nearly over, but with only a few games left to watch on tele, i'll soon be back at Old Trafford! ;)

Jose, we want our trophy back!

Magic Kingdom...

Our last day in orlando was spent at the only disney place we havent been to, Magic Kingdom. Today was a nice last day in america, absolutely roasting! no wind whatsoever, making it hard going... We got around pretty much all of the park, before calling it quits at around 6pm, shattered...

Leave a Legacy...

Leave a Legacy -Other than spreading the word about Love United Hate Glazer, Epcot has an area called "Leave a Legacy". This is a place where you can get your picture taken, which is then mounted on these steel boards around the entrance to the park. The pictures are only small, but they are guarenteed to be there to at least 2020. Maybe beyond.... For 12 quid we had to do it...

There are several rows, shown in the picture above, with loads of mini pics on them. You get a pack sent to your home within 8 weeks, with the code of where your picy will be mounted. So if your coming to Orlando, anytime, get the code off us...

This is what they look like... should be funny.... At least weve left some mark on the world, after travelling around it :)

Finally, after 6 months of travelling, an English Pub!

Epcot has a World showcase area, which is split into : Mexico, Norway, China, Cough 5-1 (Germany), Japan, Morocco, France, Canada and the now very missed UK! Here we found the Rose & Crown :) staffed by english people, and someone from liverpool ;)

Inside everything looked like it should, but something was missing.... aaah its the beer soaked sticky floors ;) we'll let them off with that one...

For the first time since we left the uk, back in October '06, Proper Glass Pint glasses!!!!

English fooooooooood!!! Bangers n mash and Fish n Chips....No mushy pea's but its ok, I told them where they'd gone wrong... (Harry Ramsden's nonetheless, didnt get me any money off tho)... Must start answering yes, when asked are you related....

Harry, Esther and Jacob...

Hello Harry, Esther and Jacob from Disney Orlando, Flordia =) This is from one of the many parades around the disney parks, Mickey says "Hellooo"... HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY Jacob =) Hope you are Enjoying the new Bike =)

Epcot..

Probably the most famous sight at epcot, as you can see it from miles away, its "Spaceship Earth". Inside you glide slowly through an audio-animatronics story of communication, moving through the years up to the present time.

This place is Mission space! Its a new ride at epcot, and to be honest it surprised me alot. There are two adventures you can choose from : Orange team and Green team. Orange team being the more "Intense" space training, as they call it. So I obviously went for the more intense. You climb into these space simulators and strap yourself in. They obviously move around 360, and are connected to a central unit, that spins around in a circle. You then take part in a space mission, from take off to landing on mars. The warnings are well founded! Its definaltely the best ride ive been on at disney. On take off you do get a feeling of G's on your face & your entire body, and by the time you get off you certainly know you've been spinning pretty fast! :) It total this ride lasts about 15mins! Result - very cool...

One of the other rides i went on was "Test Track". On exiting the ride there is a massive show room, with loads of futuristic cars. This was one of the better designs for the new future "Fuel cells". But, again, ill stick with my STi.. for now ;)
