Omg, I’m going to miss eating Mexican food! The fact that I know I’m not going to be eating anything but fish, rice and noodles for the next month makes it taste that much better! I sort of feel like I’m at the last supper right now indulging on this amazing fajita knowing that I’m going to be scrunched up on a plane for the next 13 hours! 13 hours! This ain’t no car ride with rest stops for all of you who think it’ll be fun (I know you bmxers are thinking it really isn’t that bad!) these flights are just straight out boring… think I’m going to drug myself up on NyQuil. I did, however, get a window seat which is completely baller since I can just pass out and not worry about drooling ... read more

Early tomorrow morning we will be off on our adventure! Because we have a 5 hour layover in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we'll arrive in Iceland on Saturday at 6:00 am their time, which is 7 hours ahead of California. We'll get picked up by an Icelandic Farm Holidays staff member who will give us a ride to Reykjavik, about an hour away.... a journey we have made toooo many times before because of our last Icelandic airport experience, but we still can't wait to go back, and this time we get to ride in someone's car rather than that stupid bus! We'll begin our road trip around the whole island on Sunday after a night out in the city. Farewell San Francisco! ... read more


So leider ist es schon eine Weile her, als ich das letzte Mal “geblogt” habe. Somit habe ich nun sehr viel Schreibarbeit vor mir, da wir in den letzten Tagen bzw. Wochen relative viel erlebt haben. Wie im letzten Blogeintrag noch erwaehnt, sind wir also nach einem 13stuendigen Flug in L.A. angekommen. Mir machte die Zeitverschiebung und die schlechte Luft im Flugzeug zu schaffen und ich war die ersten zwei Tage krank im Bett. Als ich mich dann wieder etwas gefangen hatte, haben wir am dritten Tag Bikes gemietet und sind am Meer entlang gefahren (war wie bei Baywatch, irgendwie cool). Am naechsten Tag dann, gingen wir auf Promi-Jagt. Zuerst fuhren wir mit einem Touristenbus durch L.A. und sahen uns die Stadt an. Das Mittagessen genossen wir in Hollywood, fuhren dann zum Hollywoodlogo und spaeter ... read more

Am Morgen also nahmen wir den Bus vom Venice Beach in die Innenstadt (ca. 1 Stunde). Da uns der Weg zur Busstation leider sehr schlecht beschrieben wurde, mussten wir eine weitere Stunde mit all unserem Gepaeck (war Sau schwer) in der Stadt herumirren (Staedte in Amerika sind nicht sehr fussgaengerfreundlich (nehmen fuer alles das Auto), was das ganze noch erschwerte). Jedenfalls haben wir den Bus erwischt und fuhren ca. 7 Stunden bis nach San Jose. Als wir angekommen sind, war Jasmin (meine Cousine) und Fiona und Sebastian (ihre Kinder) schon da, um uns zu empfangen. Nach einer kurzen Fahrt sind wir bei Jasmin zu Hause angekommen und es wurde uns ein wunderbares Nachtessen serviert. Der naechste Tag benutzten wir dazu um uns etwas zu erhohlen, Shrek zu schauen, Mails zu schreiben, zu lesen und natuerlich ... read more

We landed in LAX at 2pm on the 2nd May having left Fiji at 10pm on the 2nd May! It required all of my powers to convince Amy that it was just a regular plane rather than a fancy time travelling machine! Our hotel was in Downtown LA. It was called the Ritz, but unfortunately it was not the Ritz Carlton but the Ritz Milner. That said, the room was small but cosy and it had a TV and a hot shower! We only had 15 days in America and had sorted out a hire car for 10. We only spent 1 whole day in LA and we headed straight for Hollywood to see the Sign and the Walk of Fame. We bought a stack of phone cards and began to try calling home. 15 ... read more

Finally getting around to starting this trip blog!....We actually began this trip at the Great Smoky Mtns, then headed west to Arizona, where we spent 3 nights at the Grand Canyon south rim which we hadn’t been to. You could hike around the rim trail and get away from the crowds. The highlight for us was hiking down a trail into the canyon to an area called Cedar Ridge. It was about a 1200 ft. descent and the views were spectacular! Today is May 16, 2007, we’ve been at Zion National Park in SW Utah for the last 4 nights. We love it here. We have a great campsite in the park right on the river. They have electric hook ups which is rare for a national park. We were able to hike up the ... read more

**FYI, LeAnne wrote the blog, & Natalie commentaried the pics... Hey EVERYONE! Yep, it's us again hollerin' from good ol' Eureka, California. A lot has happened since the last blog....let's see, that was 2 days ago. Well we will begin in Bend, Oregon. Natalie and I had spent a good two days there checking out the parks and visiting with Marja, my guiding buddy from Alaska. Our scheduled departure date would be that Saturday afternoon, an hour before my other buddy Julie would arrive in Bend. It just seemed right to stick around a little longer to visit with her too, so we decided to stay another night. I'm glad we did. The rest of the afternoon was spent catching up on journals and taking advantage of the free wi-fi at the local bakery. Along ... read more
