We know Where We're Going North America » United States » Pennsylvania » Blair County » Altoona

Ok, just sat down with Billy and went through our Contiki stuff and decided on this one: European Discovery This one is better (in our opinions) than the other one we were looking at because you go more places and do more things. Plus its cheaper. We'll be going to Belguim, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Switzerland, Vatican City, and London. Thats a lot of places. Things I'd like to do that I know of would be a Gandola ride in Venice, seeing the Colosseum, and DEFINITELY white water rafting. By July I'm sure [View Full Entry]

Los Angeles - the city of angels…... North America » United States » California » Los Angeles » Anaheim

One Valium was not enough for me as we made our way through the Brisbane international airport with Kynan… Not that he was naughty or a pain, it was the realisation of the fact we were taking an 18mth old on his first long distance flight to a country we had not been. Seriously, what the hell were we thinking? We had a star spotting moment before we even left Australia. How’s this for a bit of embarrasment - Behind us in the line was Troy Cassar Daley - I said to Mark, hey that man behind us is familiar [View Full Entry]

To Disneyland and Beyond! North America » United States » California » Los Angeles » Anaheim

Our very first ride at Disneyland was the Finding Nemo submarine ride. We waited in line for 30 minutes in the drizzling rain for this ride. We were expecting it to be awesome, it was so lame that even poor Kynan fell asleep during it! (See the pics!!) Lucky this was the only ride that was not great - the rest we went on were awesome! Kynan in particular is a little thrill seeker - he went on everything from Dumbo, the teacups, Buzz Lightyear, Haunted mansion, Space Odyssey, Roger Rabbit and many more! The cheeky sausage loved them all. We [View Full Entry]

Dia 10 - Lordsburg to Tucson - Arizona North America » United States » Arizona » Tucson

mini-dec 2009 003

What a fun day! After leaving the ghostly city of Lordsburg we drove a little bit 'till kartchner Caverns State Park (http://azstateparks.com/Parks/KACA/) and we went to see inside the caverns, stalactites, stalagmites, soda straw etc etc... very nice. There were 3 caves inside the cavern and each one has different shapes and colors. Very warm and humid. All those cones were amazing. The kids loved it. The mountains are just beautiful. After quick lunch, we drove off to I-10 and that was very scary. The wind was really strong and there was a big dust storm ahead of us. We heard [View Full Entry]

Camping in Sequoia North America » United States » California » Sequoia National Park

Delicious

August 2009 Sequoia National Park is a place that words and pictures don't do justice. For this trip to Sequoia, the journey started in Los Angeles but this story will start at Reimers Candies and Gifts at Three Rivers, California. Here i enjoyed one of the nicest wildberry icecreams along with a bubble gum ice cream too. A very delicious start to my trip. Driving through the outer area of the park is quite amazing as you know you are going into something so majestic. If it wasn't enough that i was seeing this wonderful park on my drive into the [View Full Entry]

Day Trip to El Centro CA North America » United States » Arizona » Ehrenberg

Cattails and River Grass

We started looking ahead to our next destination. We will be in Ehrenberg about two more weeks, and we want to see another part of the desert southwest. Frustrated with what seemed available based on online research of RV parks in Tucson, we made a daytrip to El Centro, CA; we visited Sun Beam Lakes RV Resort and the Rio Bend RV and Golf Resort. The drive was about 100 miles on Hwy 78 south from Blythe, CA through some farming and hay growing areas that are irrigated by water from the Colorado River. After Palo Verde, the highway became a [View Full Entry]

The Buzz North America » United States » Florida » Crystal River

Timo's airport

As the days become nights, and the nights become days, a heart beats pregnant with hope and stirring at the thought of prospect adventures. The air plane makes speed. As it sores through cutting winds, dreams and aspirations become airborne. Just out of Seattle airport, the aircraft slides through the clouds, desperate to gain height. As it does, its passengers catch a glimpse of the king of mountains; Mount Reinier, daringly rising above any haze, showing off its massiveness as it stands out with sovereignty between the rest of the lower mountains. As I look out my tiny window, I see [View Full Entry]

Interiors, exteriors, and an excursion North America » Mexico » Yucatán » Merida

Coconuts hanging over the pool

I put up a blog yesterday, and even looked at it online (so did Mary), but today it is gone! Don't know what happened. I wont attempt to rewrite it; but I will put up photos with captions. Basically, it was interiors of the place we are staying, and photos of our walk around town — and to the anthropology museum to see relics of Mayan civilization. [View Full Entry]
