We've decided to treat you all with two blogs. It's up to you how you want to read them. If you want to read the first one and then give yourself a few days break before the next one. Or whether you'd just like to gorge yourselves on Jav Sian action. We decided to get it all done like this because....a We wanted http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/New-Zealand/South-Island/Dunedin/blog-310371.html Hi. I'm Jav. I have just finished reading the 'Are You Dave Gorman' Book by Dave Gorman and Danny Wallace. You may wonder why i'm telling you this. But the very funny book was written by two people. Like our blog. So we shall now be using their way of writing. I am in BOLDWhich means I Sian am in not BOLDSo there should be no more confusion of as to who is writing Just means more work for http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/New-Zealand/North-Island/Auckland/blog-309553.html Kia Ora AgainWell hello everybody. It's been awhile since the last blog. You can always tell when it's been long because you get emails from everybody asking where the blog is It just seems so weird. The last blog never feels like it was 41 days ago As much as me and Sian are looking forward to leaving Auckland and the worst weather I have ever experienced in my life and the worst biscuits in http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/New-Zealand/North-Island/Auckland/blog-300795.html Auckland Kia OraWell hello there It's been a long long time. What have you all been doing There hasn't been any photos of me or Sian for over a month. What have you all been doing to get your Jav Sian fix You must of all of been pining over old photo's. Maybe with a glass of wine. Listening to a Luther Vandross CD maybe Well don't worry there's loads of photo's on here. This one is http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/New-Zealand/North-Island/Auckland/blog-286703.html Backpackers Paradise Inglewood Our flight from Las Vegas was booked for what i thought Sian was 9.30am but when i rechecked the flight details i realised i actually booked the flights for 9.30pm Jav was pretty ok with me considering we had to wait all day. Anywho we booked that nights bed so we had somewhere to rest without a hassle. We got to LAX got our bags second time there and as we http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/California/Los-Angeles/Hollywood/blog-274924.html Las Vegas So we made it to the airport at the ungodly hour of 430am. Checked in and had another unmemorable flight. Think we're both getting pretty pee'd off with flying these days but I suppose you can't complain. Didn't help that we had to change at San Francisco and had a 3 hour wait for the flight to Vegas.May I just say as we're writing this there is a bloke in the internet cafe playin http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/California/Los-Angeles/Hollywood/blog-273222.html Las Vegas What Happens In Vegas....Stays In Vegas http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/California/Los-Angeles/Hollywood/blog-271322.html Seattle So we arrived into Downtown Seattle and set forth on the journey to find somewhere to live for the next 6 days. The first hote we tried was well out of our league a real posh boutique little number he sent us packing cheapest rate was 199.00 a night no thank you very much On our way again with our backpacks 20 hours bus journey on us and our new jansport backpack so technically J http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/California/Los-Angeles/Hollywood/blog-271312.html San Francisco Well we arrived into mighty San Francisco and I think I loved it the minute I saw it from when we were crossing over the bridge from Oakland. We got into the Greyhound station and searched for a motel. I rang on the courtesy phone for the 'Ram Inn'. I said Hello have you got any rooms available tonight the guy on the other end was a maniac. WHAT I tried to talk a little slow http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Washington/Seattle/blog-267514.html Santa Barbara So where did we leave you I believe we were off to get our drink on for the company of Mr. Vedder. Whilst we were in the internet cafe writing our last blog we left poor Hazel and George sitting outside resting up. For those of you who don't know who Hazel and George are they are Tony's as in last blog entry parents They very kindly drove us to Santa Barbara and kept us company http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/California/San-Francisco/blog-266459.html BOSTONSo here it is Our first blog entry. We were just trying to keep you all in suspense but really it was all down to the fact that America seems to only have 4 internet cafes countrywide Heathrow was a nightmare. We were delayed by over an hour waiting to get onto the plane and then while we were in the air we was delayed landing again Overall a 6 hour and 27 minute flight turned into a http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/California/Santa-Barbara/blog-265154.html
