Cliff driving
I drew the short stick for this part of the drive and I was selected to weave our car along the huge cliffs along PCH while Mike got to sit back and enjoy the view. The drive was pretty intense. I gripped the steering wheel like a hawk on prey. I ...

13 1/2 hours - Say What?!?
Mark and I left Flagstaff at 1PM. We had some leftover pizza from the night before, and said there would be no stopping till Kingman, AZ. We had a lot of the original Route 66 to cover, as large swaths of it strayed far from the safety (and speed) of the ...

Big Sur to Santa Cruz
Last Sunday we left San Francisco and made our way a few hundred miles south to Monterey which is a small sleepy coastal town. We stayed in neighbouring Pacific Grove which is even smaller and sleepier. Both Monterey and Pacific Grove sit on a beautiful ...
Good Night and Good Luck!
Tomorrow I leave for Cork! It still feels a bit unreal in my mind, although perhaps I will begin to believe it if I ever manage to finish packing... Thanks to everyone who came out to the various goodbye celebrations to see me off and who ...

Roadtrip
Your Mission, should you choose to visit it...

I wish we'd had more time in Carmel...what a beaut
If I'd been with my girlfriends, I would have definitely had more walking, shopping & dining time in Carmel. If you go, go without a tight budget. Carmel is a bit on the pricey side. I would have loved to window shop, stroll up and down the ...
