Christine and I have been back almost two days now, and it is time for some final reflections on the trip. It was my second time seeing many of the places we visited, although it ...

Day -1: September 1, 2009 8:30 AM PST – Foster City, California, U.S.A.

The Southwest is a land of deserts, national parks and Native Americans. Few people live there outside of the few large cities – Salt Lake, Phoenix, Albuquerque. Utah and Arizona have unreal rock formations that rise impossibly out of the red desert land...

In a few days, my girlfriend Christine and I will be taking a trip to the American Southwest. We will be traveling by RV with our friends Gordon and Jenny, and plan to visit many national parks and Native American sites in Arizona and Utah. You are receiving this email either because you signed up to receive the travelogs from one of my previous...

We took a short hop on a plane over to San Fran and arrived late afternoon on Friday. As a birthday treat Will had booked a surprise location for the duration of the stay - the Clift hotel.

On arrival we decided to head out into downtown SF to get a feel for the place, and it was all of about 10 minutes before Luce disappeared into A&a...

Day 16 - Santa Cruz, CA to San Francisco, CA

Things we did in Santa Cruz this morning:
- Tried to calm Christen down about the group site campers. Yes, they continued to trek right through. Christen made a loud comment about lazy asses not walking on the actual asphalt path to the restroom. They didn’t seem to care.
- Sk...

Oh boy! Tämä päivä ei nyt alkanut ollenkaan hyvin!

Se ei ollut mikään yllätys, että en nukkunut juuri ollenkaan, vaan kyttäiin ja tuskailin koko yön, silmät kiiluen peiton alta. Mutta se, että TV huutaa heti ensimmäiseksi aamulla: if your going to San Francisco, you're out of luck! (vapaa suomennos: Jos olet menossa San Franciscoon, ol...

So this week I am starting to get really excited, I am reading tons of other peoples blogs about Thailand and thinking of nothing but my upcoming travel. I don't know whether to run in circles or just smile peacefully. I find myself with extreme short timers disease, you know at work when you have given notice and you just don't care about the t...

Having dropped off our car - our 1319 mile tour of the east coast completed - we arrived at Buffalo airport for our flight west. Despite a brief stop-over in Chicago-Midway, the trip from Buffalo to San Francisco looked short on paper but, once the time difference (3 hours) had been taken into account, we had been travelling for about 8 hours by...

Well, after a wicked week in Mexico, it was back to the city life of San Francisco (and hostel life at that- no more two double beds to sleep in, throwing my clothes all over the room, and my own bathroom!) I made my way into the city from the airport, seeing a few fourth of July fireworks in the distance. By the time I had gotten settled in my ...

See hommik oli päris raske. Ees ootas üle 900 km-ne sõit San Fransiscosse ning unetundidega polnud just kiita... Üles me saime ja ligi 7 paiku ka teele. Linnast välja valisime marsruudi mööda peaalleed ehk Stripi ning tegime ohtralt pilte nendest toretsevatest majadest ka valges. Valge ja pimeda aja võlud on täiesti erinevad, kuid vaatamist jagu...
