... in Merced to gas up at Costco where the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Warm sunshine with a cool breeze--idyllic really.<br><br>We made it to the Bakersfield Hampton Inn and went for a swim before dinner, then brought in pizza and watched one of our Inspector Lewis DVDs. Nice day.<br><br><br>Title Language: English

... we are now four days away from hitting the road. Ending destination is Mount Rushmore, SD. <br><br> Yes, there is a little unrest inside of us. Will we really make it that far? Will we survive as a family? Flashbacks of comedy movies such as "RV" come to our minds in the wee hours of the night giving us chills.<br><br>We will keep you updated as we go or change our minds before leaving.

... golden, sun kissed hills and you could almost sense the pace of life slowing around you. Furthermore, initial impressions were that California was actually a bit on the rough side based on the number of drunks and shifty looking characters knocking about all over the place. Arrival in Bakersfield did little to contradict our initial hypothesis - this was supposedly the fastest growing ...

This trip is like a roller coaster ride but it seems like so many things can go wrong even at the last minute. Yesterday morning I checked the CDC and researched China swine flu where I found that the Chinese closed down an entire hotel in Hong Kong after one person was found with the swine flu. That ...

... my job, I only have 12 days to see the whole country!) I don't really like to run ragged trying to see every interesting or important thing, exhausting myself in the process. But if I "settle down" somewhere ... where? Galway looks lovely -- the general "digs" of King O'Connor, so I understand. Cork also - where the son was going to study. Should I see a walled city? Where ...

... all purpose hiking shoes that we purchased at home for AU$220 costed only US$90 - and they are an Aussie brand!! Fortunatley we purchased a Leatherman multi-tool pocket knife US$50 that would have cost us AU$200 at home. A relaxed morning of shopping and walking turned to panic as we began the journey to LAX. We had to be at LAX by 2.30, but first we had to return our hire car. Time was against us and we found that the really helpful car hire company ...

... police, the first warning us not to stop for anyone in the area, and the second taking us on a guided tour down to the river to the see a particularly famous bridge of Madison County. Chicago is an impressive city, and the accents dragged us right back into the world of TV again. With Al Capone and his chums now chased away, local folk apparently engage in free-for-all, un-metered crime sprees. There are some beautiful areas filled with huge, old, slowly decaying mansions ...
