What a way to start 14 weeks of travel!! Arrived at Adelaide to be warned that our flight to San Francisco was running 9 hours late! Travelled as scheduled to Sydney where after much negotiation we were given seats on a flight to LA that was leaving very quickly. We decided that that would be better than waiting an extra 9 hours in Sydney even t...

So how did this trip all come about? Well, Grandma's health hasn't been too good the last few years, especially her heart. In early May, her health report from the doctor came back with flying colours so Mel and her Mom decided to seize the opportunity while Grandma was still well enough to travel. We asked her the rhetorical question on the Fri...

Arriving at the airport. Such a drag. They say, no drinks, but they still sell them on the inside...ironic? No more like, Lets make you buy the stuff that kills us and at the same time we make a profit to sell our wars and our debts. 12 hrs on a plane...a nightmare for a health freak...planning ahead and outsmart the system to make it work. Slee...

Erik flew from Tallahassee, FL to LA. The event of the day was game one... a trip to Dodger Stadium. The St. Louis Cardinals ended a three game set with the Dodgers this night. LA was victorious 5-4, with most of the scoring coming in first 5 innings. The game seemed a lot longer than the stated 3:20, as both starting pitchers combined for over ...

Hello again and welcome to a well overdue entry on the sprawling mass of LA, this lateness mainly being caused by extortionate internet prices i'm unwilling to pay and walking to nearby internet cafes i'm unwilling to do! Well.....having been told to expect nothing more than nothing of the 'City of Angels' and to get out as soon as possible, my ...

Day 3, After dissapointly small burgers at Johnny Rocket's, we took the Metro down to Long Beach. It's absolutely beutiful there, much more chilled than Downtown or Hollywood. We went to the beach, and found a Springbock bar on the beachfront. We met a guy we named 'Irish John'. He was (wait for it) a guitarist in a band, into real estate, lived...
