Day3/Day4 Day 3-Sven and I decided to wake up and go for a mountain bike in an old familiar spot. Now, I have only done a few easy rides and I am still getting comfortable, hence the eagerness to practice in a known location to Sven so he could talk me through the trail. While things were going well and we were having fun, the sun was getting hot. Sven talked me through our last tactical part and we were home free, almost. As I set up to attack the whoop in front of me with full speed, I hit the breaks to slow down and slide out on some sand, lost control of my bike, I put my foot down to catch myself but it did no good. I rolled my ankle, then rolled the ... read more

Day 2- Made it to Redondo beach,Ca to spent some quality time with my 85 year old Nana. We went for a scenic beach walk, followed by breakfast. Later on, Sven and I rode bikes down the beach and played in the waves and each proceeded to get a mean sunburn. My Aunt Lauretta and youngest cousin, Roxi came to catch up with us as well. We set out to Oceanside,Ca to visit Sven's Mom, step dad and brother, Johnny. Johnny will soon be deployed to Afghanistan and let me try on some of his gear. Needless to say, keep him in safe thoughts as he sets out to support our country. We love you Johnny, see you in a few months.... read more

Dawn got an email special offer on the Grand Hyatt in San Diego so we decided to make that our summer vacation. The deal was through Travelocity so I booked the air, hotel, and car on that site. We got a non-stop flight on United from Houston and with the two hour time difference we were able to take-off in Houston at 11am and land in San Diego at noon so that gave us half a day to get in some sight-seeing. The Grand Hyatt is beautiful. It is right on the bay next to Seaport Village which is a nice touristy shopping and dining development. We had a nice view from our room of the bay, the pool, and the city. We still hadn’t had lunch so we walked right across the street to Seasons ... read more

Hallo zusammen. Wow, ist schon einiges passiert seit dem letzen Blog Eintrag! Zuerst einmal, es geht uns allen sehr gut, wir geniessen die Zeit hier miteinander und nehmen einen Tag nach dem Anderen. Was ist passiert? Nach SFO sind wir weiter in den Süden gezogen, nach Santa Cruz / Monterey / Watsonville. Hier hatten wir einen wunderschönen Campingplatz mit riesiger Auswahl an Kinderspielplätzen (Klettertürme, Sprungkissen, Pool, etc.) Auch zu unserer Freude hatten unsere Nachbarn auf dem Campingplatz zwei Kinder im Alter von 3 und 5, perfekt für Justin. Mit Baggern, Schaufel und sonstigem Spielzeug ausgerüstet, kamen die Kids direkt auf Justin zu. Sie haben sich von Anfang an gut verstanden. Justin redet heute noch gerne von “seinen Freunden”. Auch wir haben mit Ihnen am Abend am Campingplatz Marshmellows "S'Mores"grilliert und Geschichten ausgetauscht. Nicht zu vergessen sind ... read more

What a wonderful trip. For us two weeks was good. Getting tired of hotels and eating out! Last day in Christchurch weather was very nice sunny, and warm like San Diego. Hotels we stayed at were all pretty decent hilton and sofitel were very nice and made the trip luxurious when we needed it. wine excellent. food not too bad ,nothing spectacular. Mostly the cafés pretty good for food and people watching .mostly students from all over the world working as wait staff hiking on their off time. Expensive here though eating out very expensive. Hotels average prices as on states car rental and gas r high. Save a Lititle bit of NZ money for small food , drinks in airport, most vendors chArge fee if u use credit card for purchase. Farewell to our friends ... read more

The emotion associated with leaving people and the place that you have lived for the past 20 years is of course huge, but this blog is not about that personal side of events, but rather about what comes from motorcycling to clear ones head for what lies ahead in life. This blog is about a 2500 mile motorcycle trip and what happens on the way. Its about the sheer joy of motorcycling through the ups and downs that occur on any long trip and the people that share that trip with you. The trip today is all about route 8 east which I joined from route 67 having left Poway (where I live for now) by what I would call the back route - that is away from the coast. It strange to be traveling the ... read more

Thursday, 30 January, 2014 We drove through downtown San Diego to the waterfront, specifically to the USS Midway, a retired aircraft carrier built in the 1940’s. We first visited the statues honoring Bob Hope and his many years of entertaining our troops in war zones. Next is a huge statue of the iconic photo taken in Times Square of a sailor kissing a nurse on VE Day. Then we boarded the Midway, my first step aboard a US Navy vessel. Kerry spent some time aboard ship (LSD Ashland) and it was interesting to see the size of the bunks (berths) assigned to enlisted personnel. It’s hard to see how he fit in the bunk, much less how he ever was able to turn over once in it. While the Midway seems small compared to carriers of ... read more
