Best Western Country Inn Temecula

... a to point b. If we feel like stopping somewhere else or if we want to continue driving past these places, we for sure can.) <br><br>Next we'll continue our travels up the 101 to Newberg, Or where we'll be staying with Katie and Sam! (Some of the people named one or two of you won't know. They're mostly all from YWAM though) Once we've spent some time with them it's off to Seattle where we'll be picking up Natasha. We can either stay for the night or continue driving. It's about a 3 ...

Guys-<br><br>I made it back on Thursday at 7pm. Total mileage logged: 7K+. Miles run for the last two days: 2,100. I rode from Tuscalossa AL to Van Horn TX on wednesay, that was 1,150 miles and took 20hours. The next day, I went from 120 miles east of El Paso Texas to Redlands CA. I think that was about 13 hours. It was sooo hot in AZ and CA! I had to ride organ-donor style for the last 4 or 5 hours...no riding jacket, just a ...

Angie's phone was beebing early and she went out onto the balcony to phone Tim back. Apparently the boys evening had gone well, meeting up with Greg's cousin Renee and family. They had gone for a pizza and Tim managed to get a staple in his. Consequently they got the pizza for free and free desserts all round. Fortunately he didn't do any damage to his teeth!<br><br>A "luxury continental breakfast" was included in the room price so we ventured ...

... a theme park on the way to Los Angeles. We spent a few hours there, going on different rides before grabbing a bite to eat in Chili's restaurant &amp; driving to her auntie's house in L.A. to stay there for the night. I was due to leave for Vancouver the next day &amp; it made more sense to stay up in L.A. rather than drive back down to Temecula &amp; up again the next day. I'd said goodbye to Nat's family earlier on that day, Laurie almost made me cry with one of her enduring ...

... They close at 5:00. South Coast will have to wait for another visit. We drive up the hill to Faulkner Winery and scan the views from this hilltop winery. The blustery wind is very active up here and literally blows us through the door of the tasting room. I had printed off 2-for-1 coupons from the internet which means we don't need to share our tasting. Most are $8, so I'm thinking $4 each. This winery has different tasting tiers so these coupons provide us with top tier ...

... meet' and bought my own fishing gear so I could join them. The swap meet was like a giant garage sale or market. I bought shoes, clothes, surfboards, magazines, ski masks and hats, along with the fishing rods and crab traps. Besides that there was also all sorts of household items and trinkets, sports equipment, art, food vendors, electronics, books n movies, music, toys, furniture, vehicle parts, many things... I like swap meets!<br>The next day I went surfing, the waves were ...

... below 25! Hope everyone's well, and please email us with any news etc from home or afar... We'll add some more photo's soon, but it takes ages to get them on. (a little extra from New Zealand: We've so far met 2 guys from Edmonton in Canada (small city we visited for our family reunion) and a girl who works in ward 103 (I worked in 105) and went to Susie and Euans wedding in Oban a couple of weeks ago (one of my best friends from home!) How weird is that! Its still cold...

Today I was up at 7am and got ready for a big big day. I put all my gear into a locker and headed for the Greyhound station that ended up being over an hour away. It didn't help that the print out from the hostel was wrong but eventually I got there for the bus. Somewhere from waking and arriving at Greyhound I ended up losing about $30, which really sucked because that was the majority of what I had. I figured that surely there would be a way to get access to cash from a ...

... done without them. They were a life saver! Jeff didn't take us away though, he drove us down to the beach, to his favourite bar and we had a wonderful lunch and quite a few bevvies - perfect end to a hellish week. Note to selves............burn that hostel to the ground! ha ha ha The day we left was a magical moment and poor Jeff probably just saw us as a blur as we pounced on the car and begged him to take us away!!

FRIDAY 24 MARCH - LOS ANGELES. DAY 4 Up by 9.45 (four hours sleep) not feeling too bad, all things considered. Paul and I wandered down Hollywood Boulevard and had breakfast. We went to the Hollywood Entertainment Museum, which was quite good value. We got a tour of the Museum, including the authentic set of 'Cheers'. I sat in Norm and Cliff's chair and played the theme tune on the piano: Dum - Deedle deedle do do. We also had a go ...
