So now that the tapes have all been digitized the next stages of work on iAmerica can finally begin. Though we filmed the documentary nearly 5 months ago, I’m happy to have had a bit of time to sit back and look at the footage with fresh eyes. What is the real story in there and what am I really trying to say.

Yesterday was a blur. We started with Bagels and coffee for Michelle (yes I am still caffeine free for the NSPCC Kick bullying campaign) – Nick went out on his scooter to go and pick them up for us. I had an all-dressed one with all the toppings including onion. 

It’s Day 5 of Tuttle2Texas and we’re leaving NYC about an hour late to Washington. I can’t believe we’re already leaving New York as it feels like we were just getting started. This leg of the trip Michelle and I stayed with Nick and Martha Desbiens and their 2 year old son Adrian. 

This is day three of Tuttle2Texas and I’ve already have heard enough stories to last a lifetime. I think I could have stayed in Boston for weeks and still not have enough. One of the things I’m very glad of (though takes more time to organize) is staying with people in all of the cities we are visiting. In Boston, we stayed with John and Jay. 

So it's beginning today. In some ways it's already began, but now the bags are (over) packed and I”m on a very slow 137 on the way to the Piccadilly line. People have asked me if I am excited. I”m not sure yet. It seems all surreal. 

Today my flights were finally booked and it sunk in that we are leaving 3 weeks from tomorrow to Boston. And there’s so much to do.  We still don’t have funding in place but with tickets booked, I’m going on a wing and a prayer as is the rest of us.
