Turen og 1. dag i San Francisco Efter en meget lang tur over Atlanten på 25 timer og 10000 km, nåede vi endelig frem til San Francisco kl. 23 mandag aften. Det var en hård tur, for der satme ikke meget benplads i de fly, især ikke når der er en lille pige foran én, der konsekvent læner sit sæde helt tilbage lige ind i mine knæ! Grønvig fik dog skabt sig lidt mere plads ved at smide skoene og lette lidt på armene, så der var en ældre kinesisk dame der blev nødt til at flygte til den anden side [View Full Entry]

I was sitting in the car, half-asleep, slightly irritated at the fact that my dad was obsessively changing the radio stations as we made our way on the freeway towards his work. My dog, knowing that the end of our destination equaled a good walk for her, was constantly whining and putting her head in my lap in order to somehow use her "adorable" factor to make the trip faster.. Hah.. I thought, this walk was going to be an unpleasant, possibly ankle-wrenching experience as I would scramble down unstable hillsides in my sandles.. Little did I know that the view [View Full Entry]

San Francisco is a city more reminiscent of New York than anywhere in California. The buildings are all tall and cramped in, but this gives it a more city like appearance than somewhere like LA that is just block after block of squat ugly buildings. This does however make it a nightmare to park! we spent our first couple of hours in San Fran trying to park somewhere. The hostel we got into was more like a hotel & me & jake were given a double room with one small double bed... that's San Francisco for you! on the first day [View Full Entry]

Just got into the hostel outside of Yosemite after having spent the last three days in San Francisco. Had a great time in San Francisco. Everyone seemed happy there, although there were a lot of homeless people. Met up with Amanda and her friend Maureen on Saturday. We walked from our hotel down to the Presiderio (the piers) and back to our hotel. Stopped into this cool indoors Farmer's Market on the way back to the hotel and tried some samples. Met up with Amanda's boss Shelly and her Brother Paul and his girlfriend(?) Michelle. They were a lot of fun [View Full Entry]

San Francisco Well, San Francisco was warmer than London that’s for sure. Most folk we saw were wearing jackets, but Pen and I were in Shorts and T-shirts. It was mostly quite warm while we were there. We arrived in downtown San Fran and wandered up towards our hostel, which was up. The thing about San Francisco is that there are a lot of hills. Some of them you just look at and feel the burn in calves already. We were approached by an older black fellow who said to us, where you going? Where you going guys? We said to [View Full Entry]

Huaaa!! Kalifornia on jännä paikka! Ei sillä, että olisin tutustunut siihen mitenkään kattavasti, mutta LA:n ja San Franciscon nähtyäni voin sanoa, että jälkimmäiseen haluan joskus palata takaisin, ensimmäiseen tuskin koskaan. Los Angeles oli teennäinen ja suorastaan ankea kaikesta glitteristään huolimatta. Vietin kolme päivää Hollywoodissa ja sen ympäristössä ihmetellen ison maailman menoa: istuin talk-shown katsomossa (eturivissä vieläpä, koska olin vaivautunut pukeutumaan sievästi ja koska olin kerrankin onnekas) ja näin Kevin Baconin ja Dame Ednan livenä, seisoin Fred Astair [View Full Entry]

Its been rather liberating to be out of touch for a while - although it was slightly scary to discover how reliant one becomes on modern technology. I've logged on to lots of lovely messages from friends and I'm desperate to reply to all straight away but first things first - the blog. Road trip details to follow shortly, but first, San Francisco! The train ride - I was all set for 11 hours from Los Angeles, and even though we were 50 mins late leaving, it was all good - big comfy seats, lots of leg room, the waitress from [View Full Entry]

I am almost ready to go, finally!..... When you go away for so long, making sure that everything runs smoothly without you is a project in itself. Especially for control freaks like me! So I am busy previewing all potential disasters that might strike my California domain and padding the issues. I want to travel with a somewhat clear conscience. So my apologies if I did not pay you enough attention - it is all for a good cause. [View Full Entry]

La 3e journée du séminaire était très chargée d'information sur la publication de livre et sur la vente sur Internet. La 4e journée devait se terminer à 13h00 mais elle s'est terminée à 18h00. Ce fut une très belle journée avec plus de 3 heures avec John Gray (Men are from Mars, women are from Venus), il est très drôle tout en passant son message. Brendon Burchard a livré la marchandise et plus, c'était un très bon séminaire. TODAY IS THE DAY! est le slogan qui va me rester de ce séminaire. Demain, Las Vegas. [View Full Entry]

Today we left Buellton, CA after staying at a FANTASTIC Best Western motel with wonderful beds. I think if I've learned anything about myself on this trip, it's the importance of a good mattress and how it effects my life the following day. I had a great day today because I had a great mattress last night -- maybe. Our Bible text today was from Luke 2:41-50. It was Passover and twelve year-old Jesus traveled with his parents to Jerusalem to the Temple. Jesus got into some conversation with the religious leaders and I'm guessing he was talking Torah and Pentateuch [View Full Entry]
