Como empecé comentando en la anterior entrega de “from cape to cape” los primeros días aquí fueron una vorágine de pensamientos y recuerdos que venían a mi cabeza sobre todo tipo de cosas; gente, paisajes, situaciones y vivencias pasadas, como si algo estuviera cambiando, y quizá en parte sea así. Las primeras palabras que puse sobre el papel esa primera semana fueron en su mayoría memeces, aunque sí que hay cosas que quiero recuperar y compartir. Las cosas estaban, y aún están yendo bien, demasiado bien para lo que esperaba, ya que desde antes de abandonar el hogar, quizá mucho antes, más o menos desde que empecé a planificar esta huida he sentido en todo momento la compañía de una sensación extraña, de desasosiego, como que todo se iba a ir al traste antes o después. ... read more

Saludos a todo el mundo! Esta es la primera vez que escribo una crónica, relato, o como cada uno lo quiera llamar, sólo pido un poco de paciencia mientras voy aprendiendo como va esto del blog, en cuanto a la forma y contenido procuraré que sea lo más entretenido e interesante para el respetable. Este no es un espacio solo dedicado a los viajes, también tendrán cabida otro tipo de temas (motos, vino, agricultura y deporte entre otros). No quisiera enrollarme más de la cuenta. Sin más dilación les dejo con la primera entrega, espero que os guste! La quinta noche en UK, estando metido en el sobre me dio por ponerme a hacer balance del viaje y de la vida en general, algo que se está tornando demasiado habitual, y ahí es cuando se me ... read more

EXCITED !! Hell yes Friday afternoon & it is nearly time, have had a really busy week, (feeling sorry for Hubby, really busy in work & being dragged out, see next paragraph lol) so no surprise the time has flown by, and I still haven't finished the packing, alright I don't actually do the packing, as Mr Perfect won't let me !! But all this preperation & still not enough hours in the day, haven't had time to visit family yet, but friends are coming tonight, (better not involve any drinking after visitors last weekend, but I won't go in to that !!) Had surprise visitors turn up for their anniversary in the week, so it was only polite to show them the joys of 'The Barbican' a beautiful part of Plymouth with some wonderful history ... read more

How does he do it? Casually sat eating breakfast this morning (Sunday 5th Aug), feeling remarkably good considering the amount of alcohol we managed to consume last night, whilst watching Team GB win lots of gold medals :-) ... sorry I digress, Hubby asked "Where are the driving licences? " Easy answer to that I say, 'in the holiday pack' with passports, tickets & every other piece of paperwork we will need in 13 days time, feeling quite smug, off I go to look aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - His is there, but no sight of mine !! No worries I know where it will be, so off I go to look in the folder where everything paper like is kept in our house, (or should be) nope not there, got to be with car paperwork then, nope! ok ... read more

Where we are going, if they will have us !! Flying from Heathrow, but stopping at my lovely Mums, who is putting up with us again, the night before we fly & then the lovely relations near London, who have very kindly offered to 'babysit' our car for the duration of our trip!!Then off we go to......... Los Angeles (to be known as LA from now on) Hollywood district in a quirky B&B - first 3 nights Solvang - a little Dutch town (only in America) - one night Travelling up Highway 1 aka Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) aka Big Sur, how can one road have so many names? Monterey (apparently Monterey Jack cheese started here!)- one night San Francisco - Sunset District (some nice person has built an extension on her house, and is letting ... read more

Three week road trip through California, Nevada & Arizona, no worries!!! Yeah right, knowing how much 'hubby' likes to research, plan & schedule things, this was never going to be an easy task, so thought that 2 years should have been enough time, but no, with only 16 days to go, he is happily informing me that he has found a nice little 'off licence' less than quarter of a mile from our B&B in Los Angeles - "Can never be too prepared" he says - really!! So I thought I would start a blog today, Thursday 2nd August 2012, to help 'vent my frustrations' otherwise he will get it both barrels & we may not get to see our 11th anniversary :-)... read more

Friday 10thAugust the agony has started, LISTS, I write them, lose them, then I write another one, then I add to it, and then still keep adding & writing even more – Just how many lists does one person need? I am not sure why this happens every time we decide to go away, but it does. Why can’t I just put everything in to the suitcase, turn off the lights & walk out the front door? It should be so simple, but it isn’t, think I should get tested for OCD! (or should that be CDO, everything in its correct order !) I have even resorted to looking up other people’s ideas & lists online, just in case they are more thorough than mine, but they’re not, perhaps I should put mine on the internet ... read more
