Woke up 0800, didn't feel well :) Took headache tablets, tin of coke and went back to sleep. Eventually surfaced at 0930 and we went down to Sears Fine foods and had another Al's special and the never ending cup of coffee. Started feeling human again! I had hoped that Hertz would pick us up from the hotel but when we phoned they said they cannot do that from the O'Farrell location as it's single manned. So, we checked out, and got a taxi to Hertz. The car was a Ford Focus but a lot larger ver...
Sonoma, California, United States arealhighlanderLast night, just after we had gone to bed, our door opened and another couple with a suitcase went to come in. We politely told them "wrong room" and away they went. So we thought putting the chain on the door might be a good idea! In the morning we found neither of our keycards would unlock the door, so we went down to reception. Apparently what had happened was that for some reason the booking system had said we were in a different room and our room was free. So another couple had been all...
Sonoma, California, United States arealhighlanderDay 8 Around Sonoma, up to Healdsburg and Old Faithful Breakfast at 9, on the road 915. Stopped off for petrol/gas on the way up as we had less than ¼ of a tank. Couldn't get anything out of the machine - doh, a notice to say pay cashier first. I had no idea how much needed to go in so I paid $60, It turned out it was full at $43. It's about $4.05 a US gallon here. Back at home the equivalent amount is about $8.50 a US gallon! And you think you have it bad! Carried on up to Healdsburg and par...
Sonoma, California, United States arealhighlanderDay 9 - Sonoma Valley Woke up this morning to clouds and a light rain. Glad to see here in the US is the same as the UK - as soon as a holiday weekend comes along the weather turns to poo! Hopefully it won't get too bad otherwise there will be a lot of soggy jazz festival goers this weekend. We first drove up to Benziger Winery. They are one of the few wineries that practices biodiversity and wholistic farming. They use all natural products, recycle all of their water, grow plants to attract ...

... be leaving "the boys". We've had tons of fun. Unfortunatly it took us three damn months to teach them to play Euchre, but we've made up for lost time in the last week but playing every night and allowing it to get extremely heated. Although, with Rob playing any game.. things usually get out of hand. <br><br>The next few weeks should be fun though.. finally a ...
Santa Rosa, California, United States vino_voyageurs... bike and caught up with us in town just as we were about to go to the "Chocolate Cow" for some ice-cream. After indulging in butter pecan, coconut almond fudge and some multi-coloured sour fruit varieties we had a wander around the Plaza. The boys found the local Irish Bar whilst the girls shopped!! Chrissie found her special cone shaped cheese grater at a good price, so she was really happy!! (anyone who knows Chrissie will know that is no exageration ...
Sonoma, California, United States chrissief13... to pull something like this together (I think we're learning?), and I'm pretty excited to see what the next couple of weeks holds as we roll for the border. Still our big Kiva event to come here tomorrow As always, all our love from the road to everyone supporting and thanks so much to those that have been writing, donating, and thinking about us.

San Francisco, California, United States shawnsmith... off, so I had to make sure we do not fall victim. With a little research and help from Stella at work, I knew enough to ask how much the fare would be first before we board. The sign at the airport says that the fare should be around 30 euro, so okay, we can handle that! The cab dropped us off at the hotel and we are charged 33 euros. Thank goodness we had brought 70 euros from my last trip to Paris. Done! We checked into our hotel room and collapsed in our bed. Let the adventure begin!
San Francisco, California, United States darwinsfDuring my friends Filippa and Karolin's stay in Berkeley we went to San Francisco for some sightseeing. We walked on Embarcadero down to pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf. An unsuccessful attempt to go to the old Prison Alcatraz, we continued our walk to the north part of San ...
San Francisco, California, United States sjmandersson... that far! I will say that so far I have spent @ $800 so far on shots and supplies. I'll be spending about $2000 on the plane tickets, and another couple hundred on camera, insurance, and random other items like an electric shaver (too hard to carry around a bunch of razors!) So please be patient with me and my entries! Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride!!
