Lake George Here We Come Roadtrip-A-Rama, DAY 1
Day One of our first real roadtrip. Tris and I are accompanied by our friend Chris. She is running late! Crazy people with their late packing and so on. We arrive late because she said on the phone how if we arrived on time she would not be ready. ...
The Arts
I had heard about the size and expanse of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. So thinking myself smart I allocated a whole day in which to absorb its treasures. Little did I know that was barely going to be enough for two of its giant wings. ...
California............wooooooo
Well San Fran here we are!! Woo what an amazing city.......we arrived here on Tuesday May and had a good five days to go and explore the city and check out all the cool bars! First good sign was the weather... we were pretty lucky and had some Hot Hot ...
USA - Bound for Seattle
Howdy all. You'll be happy to know this entry will be a lot shorter than the last. We haven't got a great deal of stuff to report on since getting back from the Canadian Rockies. We stayed in Vancouver for one more night. Then we were US ...
Escape from LA
We walked a little way along Melrose with our bags and it was nice and fresh for a change. After a great day yesterday we both feel pretty chirpy and a little bit more Christmassy. We jumped on a bus at the corner of Melrose and Vine and squeezed our way ...
It's Too Darn Hot
We have time to update our blog because today we are trapped on the sofa maneuvering our non-portable fan around with us to keep cool. As of yesterday the weather has been ridiculous with highs of 110 degrees in more than 50 US cities, ...
Hollywood
We only spent one full day in Hollywood and decided to go celebrity spotting. As it turns out we only saw their houses or their names etched onto stars on the pavement. We took the 'Home of the stars tour' located at Gourman's Chinese theatre. Highlights ...
Viva Las Vegas!
Due to a brilliant stroke of luck we had not only rooms in the luxurious Bellagio but also tickets to see Cirque du Soleil for our single night in Vegas. Needless to say that after so many days away from the bright lights we were excited to have the ...
Pre-trip thoughts
It is the eve before my 30-hour departure to India (via Cincinnati to Paris to New Delhi) and I am feeling very excited and a bit fatigued after learning to maneuver on my crutches for the past four days. I tore a muscle behind my left knee from a little ...
Claire's new smell and other happenings
Yesterday in a nut shell: Claire is bitten to pieces by the rabid American mosquitoes they have here. We count 50 bites in total from one night's sleep so head straight to a pharmacy and by what they have resulting in Claire smelling like a lemon ...
Final shopping and sight seeing in NYC!!
New York New York, so good they named it twice, even though it is actually called Manhattan!....I digress. You can spot people who have never been to New York before, they are the ones walking round , mouths wide open, looking straight up without ...
iao valley
This morning Erin and I took Sze to the airport. I prefer being attached at the hip to my girlfriend so saying goodbye, even for just a couple of days is not cool. Erin and I decided to check out the Iao Valley since we were already in Central Maui. ...
beach park, pools, blowholes oh my
We woke up bright and early this morning at Camp Pecusa. As nice as this camp was, there isn't really much to do around the area. We originally wanted to stay longer at Camp Pecusa, but decided that we'd just head out tomorrow morning to Camp ...

Welcome to the south
Finally I'm back! My internet hasn't been working for a few days. I thought it was done, but then eventually I figured out how to reset internet explorer. Then I had to call the hotel's technical support because their ...
The pumpkins are massing on the border
As we drove north to the canadian border the pumpkins on people's porches are increasing. We saw one yard with at least forty. Tomorrow we drive to Salem, Massachusetts in time for the big night. We had decided to go over the border to Canada before we ...
Heading out in the morning
Last chance to pack everything tonight. If it doesn't fit - it doesn't go...Typical last minute packing. Susan hasn't even started to pack yet (thanks American Idol) so I expect she will be up at 1am asking me where stuff is, I am sure. ...
The big unstructured plan.
Maybe I'll drive from Seattle and up to Alaska, sell my Japanese car for gold nuggets and catch a flight south to Guatemala City. Or Oaxaca, Mexico, or... Maybe I'll drive to LA or Houston, Texas instead. I'll probably find a cheaper flight to Central ...
We finally leave the comforts of the condo
I guess we need a couple of days to decompress after living a somewhat nomadic life. We were just so in love with the condo that we didn't want to leave. But duty calls. Poor Jennifer was finally feeling well enough to get out of bed. She commissioned us ...
DAY 2 -- Secret Caverns of MADNESS!!!
... . Each is 18 holes, one being the actual "around the world" course, and the other being the U.S. version, featuring various states. The giant guitar hole is pretty cool, but I really can't remember what country, exactly, it was supposed to represent. ...
Delicacies
So after multiple false starts, here I was at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway. The lights dim, the sound of drums rang crisply and the familiar wail of the Baboon came. Then, magic. The imagination is an odd creature, unpredictable in how it ...
The Beauty and the Beasts
During my flight here, the TSA had inconsiderately cut my supposedly approved lock and rifled through my belongings without so much as a note. This left me paranoid that I was the victim of an elaborate drug smuggling ring and I was destined for ...
Parents, Performance and Poetry
2nd, Tuesday: The epic show of what we have been up to, where we have been living and who we have met begins. Claire, Jo and the Palmer rentals walk the length and breadth of East Village, Claire and Jo all pointy fingers and explanations/anecdotes. ...
Back up north and on to San Francisco
Let's start this entry with a quiz - a quiz question that I cannot understand or get my head around. A quiz question that left me feeling confused and bemused for some time. A man arises at 9am on a Sunday morning, spends a full day relaxing (as ...
Back and forth and back and forth again
Sze & I got up early this morning and packed up camp. We headed to Hanna Bay so that we could have a hot cup of coffee at Tutu's. Then we were off to Kipahulu to set up camp at Oheo where the Seven "Sacred" Pools are. Apparently, they were never sacred, ...
The Joshua Tree
It was a long drive in the night. Cool and exhausted we slept soundly. By the morning we had already begun to feel the baking heat from the Colorado desert. We made our way to its heart, the Joshua Tree National Park. Immediately, it ...
Hanford, California, of all places..
At 08:45 the waiter knocked on our door. Breakfast had arrived. We are planning for an early start today. After our breakfast we packed up again (we are getting really efficient in this process), loaded up the car and headed in the direction of highway 1 ...
