This past weekend a group of us headed off to Ucluelet, a beautiful coastal town near Tofino on Vancouver Island. We jumped on one of the huge B.C. Ferries and took the hour and a half trip accross the Georgia Strait to the Island. Then we drove another hour and half to Ucluelet. The drive was very pretty. I peered through the thick, dense forest looking for bears whilst we traveled down this very windy road. I was lucky enough to actually see one - up real close - on our way back. We were literally about 10m or less away from it! Luckily, in our car. You can view the b... read more

The time had to come when Corey and I would be leaving LA. But to alleviate my despair I had the long, winding highway 1 coastal drive to look forward to. I was told that the west coast of the US is a spectacular drive so I was excited to get going and start viewing the waves and cliffs. We drove through Malibu on the way up the coast. Another place I had always wanted to go. We didn’t stay in Malibu long, just long enough for me to take a bit of a run on the beach. We stayed in a small town that night called King City and the next morning we were on our way to San Francisco! Believe me, you don’t want to be learning how to drive a manual car ... read more

My dreams finally came true as we drove into Los Angeles! It was almost a religious experience for me to finally be entering LA - a place that I had fantasised about for all the years that I wanted to be an actress. This is where it all happens and the energy was palpable! Our first stop in LA was Hollywood Boulevard. Here we walked the famous Walk of Fame, (not all of it - there are over 2500 stars built into the pavement!). I lost all respect for the purpose and meaning of these stars when I was told that Ryan Seacrest had a star. These stars cost $15K to create. Fame does have it’s price it would seem. On Hollywood Boulevard we also found the Kodak Theatre - the place I had dreamt ... read more

Vegas - wow. I want to say that everyone should experience Vegas at least once, but I’m not sure if that’s really the correct thing to say... To me Vegas was a paradox of good and evil. It was surreal and fantastical, which was fun, but Vegas depends on some of the more unhealthy of human sins for it’s survival. As you drive into Vegas and onto “The Strip” a momentary paralysis takes hold of your senses as they go into overdrive trying to absorb the plethora of flashing multi coloured neon lights and gaudy palm trees, clowns, a replica Eiffle tower and Empire State Building. It is, to say the least, a shock to the system. Casino hotels line the infamous main street in Vegas, known simply as “The Strip”. Cards advertising an array of ... read more

After the thrill of Nashville and Memphis we made a sharp west turn and started our drive into the Great Plains. We didn't stay for very long in any of the places between Memphis and Vegas so most of our experiences were from taking in the beautiful, jaw dropping scenery. It was also pretty cool to be driving along the old historic Route 66 at times. Route 66 stretches from Chicago all the way to Santa Monica and some of the old houses, shops and bars are still there but run down and uninhabited now. The first day on the road we pushed through Arkansas to a small town on the boarder called Alma where we stayed for the night. In the morning we crossed the boarder into Oklahoma and this is where we started to ... read more
