Well, we're here - in sunny California. Although it isn't as hot as some of the places we saw in Canada (or as hot as the UK!), the direct…
(I know, its a bad headline, but it kind of makes the point!). So we're in LA. On Monday, when we were trying to book a hostel on the…
We've now had four days in the States, and we're certainly wondering which country we are now in. Sure, there are lots of signs that we're…
San Diego Zoo Today we had a great day. We went to the 'world famous San Diego Zoo'. Okay, it was a bit of a surprise to start with that…
Today, after a late wake up, a leisurely breakfast and a swim, we checked out of our lovely Comfort Inn in Escondido and headed inland.…
This morning we packed up after our overnight in Indio (sad to leave the Best Western in Indio - it had free movies on DVD, which meant t…
The day started with a swim for the girls, and a quick visit to Starbucks for me to upload to our website and pickup email (and, importan…
Anybody who knows us (and especially Sarah) would know that Las Vegas isn’t our kind of thing. Tacky, crowded, booze and gambling-tastic,…
No trip to Nevada is complete without a trip to New York. It kind of rounded off our round-the-world-in-three-days trip. And again, altho…
Time to leave Vegas, and move on. As always, it seems to take longer to pack up our rucksacks than it really should. In fact, its probably…
After a slap-up breakfast, we looked around Kanab, which used to be the centre of the Western movies business. There was a time when every…
Today we went to Bryce Canyon, the third canyon in three days. Although Kanab is slap bang in the middle of Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyons,…

It’s difficult to write about Yosemite without using too many superlatives, so I’m not going to tell you about the views, and the scenery…

Well, it’s arrived – our 12th wedding anniversary – and just like our 2nd wedding anniversary, we’re traveling. For our 2nd anniversary we…
We’d already decided we liked San Francisco by yesterday evening – the smiles seemed broader here than other parts of California, and the…
The weather has decided to take a turn for the worse. Instead of blue skies and sunshine, we’ve got a miserable sea mist hanging over the…
A week ago we’d booked our tickets for Alcatraz for this morning – we’d been warned that it gets booked out well in advance – by buying o…
Today we went to the Exploratorium – a bit like the Science Museum, but much more practical, hands-ony. We got entry free with our CityPa…
We had one last look at San Francisco this morning, because we hadn’t really got any video of the cable cars. It was a mad dash to do all…
On our drive down the coast to Disneyland, we passed through Santa Barbara (wow – a really relaxed beach town with great shops – we couldn…
We’ve been in Anaheim since Saturday night, and we’ve spent 5 days in the park. And now we’re all tired of it. Sarah got tired of it by…
