Best Western Grants Pass Inn

... Views from the top floor were incredible. Next stop was a visit to the University of Washington. Situated on the water, it was an impressive campus.
We then took off for Pike Place Market. This was a huge open air market....fish, flowers, fruits, vegetables....you name it. The market itself was blocks long ...

... die Weinberge hoch Richtung Oregon nach Williams. Auf Grund eines technischen Fehlers sind wir dann mit reichlich Verspaetung in Williams angekommen. Heute haben wir dann eine Tagestour zum Crater Lake unternommen, dem tiefsten See der Staaten. Schaut euch einfach die Bilder der letzten Tage an. Viel Spass.

... Horse rides through the country side, a huge zip line coarse, or a natural river fed pool, they had it made. And, they were super nice and let me check out the rooms, use their wifi, and thankfully, play their piano. It's a bit pricey, but how often do you get to wake up in the tree tops! After a few hours I "B" lined it back to the coast. Next stop, San Fransisco.

... s, they had 10 horses (one has since died), 2 cows (their freezers are now well stocked), 2 pigs (one was also butchered, the other is now used for breeding), plus they still have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 rabbit (one ran away), 20+ chickens, and there's always a lot of chores to go with them, etc. Again, never a dull moment.

They own a construction foundations company, which doesn't seem to help much towards finishing the remodeling of their house. They've been ...

... We walked around for a bit at Portland - not a whole lot there either. Decided not to stay there cos we had some time to make up so we kept driving - said we'd stop at 7pm wherever we were haha. So we ended up staying at a super 8 at Creswell about an hour south of Salem. The guy at the front desk was hilarious - he loved our accents so just kept on ...

... I looked for a place to kip for the night. A vista seemed like a good place so I parked up with a decent view and laid back to watch a movie on the laptop. An hour later I'm being lit up like a firework. Car lights and spotlights trained on me, I see someone get out of the car and walk over. A Police Officer knocked on the window and asked me if I was ok. Told him was just resting and ...

... if you buy your beer at the distributors on the leeward side of the island. Wish Willy's is a great if not unique dining experience. Overall Caye Caulker is a little touristy but not too bad. Placencia is a nice "village" . The village label barely fits because it seems more like a town. The are more tourists there than in Caye Caulker thus more selections of restaurants and various services. You can walk anywhere in the "village". If taking the bus to ...

... Raggamuffin' Tours. 3 days 2 nights with snorkeling, fishing and camping out on a couple cayes along the way. Sounds just terrible but I think we can tough it out. Once in Placencia we will be staying at Harry's Cozy Cabanas for 6 nights. After that we haven't planned anything really. We are planning on seeing some Mayan Ruins but not sure which ones. Car rentals are way to spendy so we probably will take the bus alot. My (Jill's) dad left today for Hopkins Village, so ...

... have been on white water rafting trips/excurions a few times and again it doesn't appeal to me anymore and I potentially want to do white water kayaking down the river someday too. So I have some research to do when I get to the panhandle because I'd REALLY like to do kayaking out on the ocean along the coast if there is anything worth seeing other than Fort Pickens (I think thats too far for a solo Kayak?). I understand that Ft Pickens is boat only access and requires a ...

So we head south to Brian's birth state, which makes him an Oregonian! There we find our long lost friends from Volcano the Neads and Brian's cousins. River rafting, flower shows, hiking, GIANT REDWOODS and seal watching are all highlights. Oh, and let's not forget the dune bashing on quads. Very eco-friendly....
