United States Travel Blogs

Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the United States of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65) and the Great Depression of the 1930s. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains the world's most powerful nation state. The economy is marked by steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology.To be updated

Quick and Easy in the "Big Easy" North America » United States » Louisiana » New Orleans

Bar in French Quarter

Being that this is my first entry on Travelblog, I thought it might be a good idea to say that my first few entries are going to be about places I have visited in the past. I am going to the Cayman Islands at the beginning of December and will certainly share what I hope to be an amazing experience, but at present I have decided to document destinations and adventures that have already taken place. This is mostly for my own benefit. I do not ever want to forget why I have chosen to skip expensive clothes, clip coupons [View Full Entry]

Day 3 North America » United States » California » Big Bear

Day Three: After a leisurely morning with time spent setting up this blog, we finally headed out about 11. The plan for the day was to explore the Holcomb Valley area and indeed we did, but not as we expected. It was a day filled with redirection, rerouting, and adapting. Though Overland Navigator is wonderful, there have been changes made since the maps used in the program were put out by the government. “Sensitive” areas blocked off by barbed wire fences have eliminated some roads totally, while others have been allowed to return to the forest or ended with campgrounds.

Chapter 28---Travels with Cali North America » United States

La Grande, OR
Looking down at La Grande from partway up one of the mountains.

Chapter 28 Travels with Cali July 6: I left Berry and Kathleen and traveled south, back to Oregon to visit with Berry and Glenda's brother Benji and his wife Debi who live in La Grande. On the way, I stopped for a couple of hours and visited with their aunt Treace. She is Peggy's sister and one of the Davison “outlaw-in-laws” I'm so glad I got to meet her. In addition to being a thoroughly delightful person, she knew some great stories about the Davison family. She lived in Kiowa and went to high school with Aunt Lucy, Aunt Joan, Uncle [View Full Entry]

Pre-trip jitters AKA Reality is setting in... North America » United States » California

I'm writting this as I'm getting ready to make my plans for my year-long-round-the-world trip a reality and panic is setting in. Why? Sometimes I find myself doubting that I will actually go thru with it or if it is even possible to fit all I want to see and do within the time and budget limit. And admitedly sometimes I wonder if I'll be able to withstand a whole year by myself. Also a little scared of everything thtat can and probably will go wrong. That is why I am writting this, so that when i am filled with doubt [View Full Entry]

DC in November North America » United States » District of Columbia

Sculpture Garden
Something new: Roxy Paine's "Graft" in stainless steel and concrete. That's the Archives in the background.

Monday was sunny. I cut through the National Gallery of Art's Sculpture Garden to get home. Tuesday was gray. I took a shortcut by way of the Butterfly Path to The National Mall. I always carry a camera on walks around DC. [View Full Entry]

New York ja Pittsburgissa hengailua North America » United States » Kansas

Heipähei! USA:n hallitus julkaisee työttömyysluvun kuukausittain(mikä on muuten tällä hetkellä 10.2%). Ajattelin että tälläinen kuukausittainen blogikirjoituksen julkaisu taitaa sopia minullekin. Viitisen viikkoa sitten lähdettiin syysloman viettoon New York:iin. Reissuun meitä lähti minä, sami, elmeri, steffen(saksa), heini, trang(saksa) ja claire(taiwan). Jätkien kans mentiin keskiviikkona ja tytöt tuli päivää myöhemmin. Jätkien kans oltiin keskiviikkona jo päivällä nykissä. JFK:n lentokentältä mentiin suoraan metrolla meidän hostelin läheiselle pysäkille. Astuessamme ulos metrosta j [View Full Entry]

It looks cold outside... North America » United States » Wyoming » Jackson Hole

Liz posting: It looks cold outside. Even though my weather bug tells me its only 33.8 with no wind, it still looks cold outside. We live in a narrow valley in between what I would consider two foothills of the Wyoming mountain range. We woke up with a light dusting of snow on the "hills" and I can see the tall pine trees swaying forty feet up. The house overlooks the Hoback river and even though it is running a good clip still, unaffected by ice, I bet it is cold. Even the mother and twin fawns that come to graze [View Full Entry]

Up and Running... North America » United States » Wyoming » Jackson Hole

These three like a free meal in our yard every once in a while

The hard, windy drive from Colorado to Jackson was not that fun, but arriving to my aunt's house with glasses of wine and beer nearly poured for us was. Saturday was a really long, full [View Full Entry]
