... drive from Katie and Sam's to Natasha. <br><br>Now we should be going into Montana after Seattle. Where we will be staying isn't quite clear yet. It will either be with Teal (if she lets us) or there's the possibility of staying at yellowstone national park. <br><br>On December 2nd we start heading to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore and all that jazz! Next stop will be Minneapolis where Sarah McCollar has offered us a place to stay! Then we slowly start heading south to Chicago, Il ...

... shirt and sun-screen! Anyway, I did make it back alive and well, if you were wondering. It was a great time! The highlight was visiting Key West FL. Aside from the destination, I got to visit with friends I hadnt seen in 10 years...super cool!<br><br>Thanks for reading all my mindless blogging. I do have a few pics to post but not much....mostly cycle related. Its kind of difficult to snap photos when your riding a bike.<br>

... courtesy of Cheryl. THANKS CHERYL THAT WAS REALLY KIND OF YOU.... and what a wonderful setting. We all chose a 'flight' of wines to taste and they came to the table together with an information sheet describing each one, accompanied by bread and goats cheese which was delicious. The afternoon was very enjoyable and soon whizzed by. A phone call from Greg, needing directions (he had been to San Diego with the others and had got back to Temecula ...

Felix is casino addict and got tired of the casinos here in Las Vegas. So we got a flight for San Diego, then we were planning to drive to Temecula to visit also my cousin Jo, But we missed our flight, so instead we got a flight for Orange County, Santa Ana and from there we rented a car and drove to Temecula. We visited first Harrah's casino Rincon and we were given a suite room, very nice and huge. We were not lucky at Harrah's so we went to Pala casino where I ...

... skillfully hidden inside a folded over sheet of cooked, dry pastry. My group turns to have a look at me and they all have the most questioning of expressions on their faces. And, I know that, If there had been a shish-ka-bob poker in the vicinity, I would have been the target for its' point. The nice thing about family is that an expression can be so wonderfully understood. No words are needed nor are they worth the effort when one is starving and the only thing available ...

... and there's a big gumball machine in the waiting room, even the waitresses wear the pink and white stripped dresses and white aprons. My favourite dish there was the strawberry milkshake ofcourse. <br>One evening we went to the movie theater and watched Borat, my date really liked it, he didn't think it was going to be as funny. <br>I took many walks on the beach, waded into the water and at one time visited the surf museum. It contained many ancient surfboards and articles on ...

Trip pics are at: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictu res.html?id=2101096903 Ahh L.A. We got on the road fairly early, after a workout and a shower. Dude, palm springs is HOT. I don't know how people live there. It's pretty stifling. The trip to L.A. was pretty quick. I think it took us about 3 hours, and we made one brief stop. The traffic wasn't too crazy. We checked in at the Hyatt in West Hollywood. Dave argued with the front desk ...

Well, while in LA i met up with my net friend Cavin/Kavin...not sure of hte spelling just at the moment, sorry! He is a great guy, he showed me around his uni, UCLA and took me to the two disney land parks in anneheim. I have quite a few pics, and one video of him doin a parade there. Disney land was fun, its a bit kiddie, but its fun to see all ur favourite characters and there are some fun rides too. Once u accept the cheesiness its great! haha

... searching for a lunch venue, but disgracefully had to settle for KFC/Taco Bell as we could find no alternative. We made it back just in time to catch the shuttle-bus to Santa Monica and walked down the famous boulevard in time to enjoy the spectacle of the orange-tinted sky as the sun set over the Pacific. After a swift pint in a British pub (it was the nearest), we strolled across the road to 'The Gate of India' for a curry. It was the hottest meal either ...

... resembles a (very) poor man's Marilyn Monroe. We had a boogie and quite a few drinks with umbrellas in them and stuck around till closing time, at 2am. Hillary invited us back to her apartment so we all piled into Marlene's 4WD and drove down the road a wee bit. We hung around listening to music and playing with Hillary's yo-yo for a while. Marlene gave Paul and me a lift home at about 5.30am so we saw the sun come up over Santa Monica Boulevard - just like the song.
