Thank you all so much, it made me so happy to read your answers. It really did. I think I was also somewhat relieved to have responses, I knew Americans were pretty open minded in that way, but still I was wondering if I would receive any reply ...

Anyhow yes AlaskanAngel & Suzan definitely lets stay in touch and meet up whilst I am Seattle. On on my return to the UK I will check where next to go.. this is so exciting!!

All the cities in the States to me are reminiscent of films/movies. Chicago for me is stuck in the 20’s with men that are always dressed in elegant suits & wear hats, many talking with an Italian accent. In Houston ‘au contraire’ people are dressed in a all-in- one uni-coloured uniform, and I can imagine hearing someone “calling Houston..” from some space shuttles..

In the meantime Seattle is‘romantic’. But I hope I will get some sleep there.. However I am not surprised that people remain sleepless in Seattle with the amount of coffee they are drinking..

Thank you Janet for the offer to show me Florida that sounds great and do not worry about being older as I would otherwise have doubted your authenticity, as it is well known State requirement that to live there you have to be of retirement age ..(By the way thank you so much for checking flights price).

Anyhow I will stop being silly that is what I do when I feel a bit nervous (I am a bit of a Chandler (from Friends)). About Philadelphia, I will try to come there when I visit New York later on, same goes for you when you go come to London. Joy I would love to meet you too lets stay in touch and wait for Colorado to warm up. All the best for the 8<SUP>th</SUP> my thought are with you.

Thank you all again for your offers, when I read them I felt the adventure had just started and I hope I will get to meet all of you.

Lots of love
