Residence Inn By Marriott Fresno

Nach der hitzigen und kargen Wuestenlandschaft des Death Valley sind wir heute zurueck ins Baumland des Sequoia National Parks...Hallo Baumbart?!<br><br>Im Giant Forest gibt es unzaehlige Riesenbaeume, die wirklich jedes Auto winzig erscheinen lassen. Hier steht auch der groesste Baum der Welt (General Sherman :-)). Er ist zwar nicht der hoechste und auch nicht der breiteste, aber sein Gesamtstammvolumen (1500 m3) ist unuebertroffen. <br>

Scott<br><br>Last night at San Simeon was surreal, and felt quite dangerous. Me and Paul were playing pool and this guy came over, covered in tattoos, smelt of booze and smoke, and he asked us a lot of questions about where we were going, when etc, and invited himself in the pool game. At first I thought he was gay and thought we were too or something, but when he pulled out this medical tub of weed and asked us to smell it we assumed he was ...

... wir aber nicht wussten: das ist auch ein Restaurant und ehe wir uns wieder umdrehen konnten saßen wir schon an einem Tisch für zwei. Und das schlimmste, richtiges Geschirr und eine makellos weiße Stoffserviette. Da muss ich natürlich sofort an Siegis Worte denken: "...und wenn du eine richtige Tischdecke und richtiges Besteck willst, wirds erst richtig teuer...."<br><br>ABER: Wir sind ja hier nicht in einer typischen Touristenstadt und so hat es uns ...

Sat 29th Aug<br><br>Picked up the hire car at 9am sat morning from the worst hire company, the car wasn't clean, the tyre pressure was dodgy and they hadn't even filled the car with 'gas', So we had to find the other hire company in SF.<br><br>Fulled up and ready to head out on our road trip, first stop would be Yosemite park some 160 miles west. Some beautiful views all the way ...

We arrived in Dinuba late so we checked into a Holiday Inn Express. The following day we left the Hotel and drove through Orange Groves to Kings Canyon. The route our Sat. Nav. (We've named her Lola like in the RV film starring Robin Williams) took us was a very steep and windy road. We all felt sick!! The route was very scenic though (we even ...

... Automobilisten moechte ich mich eigentlich nicht aeussern, hat eh keinen Wert, die spinnen die ......:-) Das Wetter spielt immer noch wunderbar mit, des Morgens in den Bergen ists zwar ein bisserl frisch, aber die Sonne waermt dich schon auf, und wenn ich noch ein richtig gutes Fruehstueck finde steht einem Supertag nichts mehr im Wege. So Leute, die Sonne ist draussen, ich geh ein wenig radeln, also denn adeeee......

... body weight right before leaving for S. Pacific trip measured in pounds<br><br> 147 - body weight in Fiji at the end of the trip measured in pounds<br><br> 3 - number of times I considered suspending all future travel plans to spend more time with a girl<br><br> 2 - number of pairs of underwear I had at the beginning of trip<br><br> 1 - number of pairs of underwear I have at the end of trip. I won't reveal publicly at what point I left that second pair behind.

... doubled again the next. Vegas suddenly didn't seem as enchanting as we walked the strip at night climbing ov** piles of prostitute calling cards and around the latest purse discarded from a pickpocketing. We w**e told 3 days was enough in Vegas and it turned out to be spot on. The hotel was awful with holes in the room walls and a car being smashed within the first hour of our arrival. Aft** spending the night driving up and down the strip to get photos of all the famous hotels and ...

... p.m. on Saturdays.<br><br>The only good thing about a 15 hour drive across Arizona and California is that there is very little to cause one to stop and add time to the trip. The main things to see are the Four Corners Monument (which is overrated) and Monument Valley. But, since the heart of Monument Valley required a one hour detour, we bypassed that as well. We didn&#8217;t stop until we were in Flagstaff again. By this time, it was about 2 p.m. Since we ...

... kind of stress prevalent over a trip, especially since it seemed likely that the United States would begin retaliating for the attack. Still, we wanted to get out of the Valley and see some other part of the country. <br><br>We came up with two possible trips. The first was a mission tour up the California coast. This trip would start in San Diego and ending in Sonoma. We ended up not going on that trip because we wanted to get out of California. The other trip was a drive through ...
