"Toilets have hot water, there's a picnic shelter with stove (if you have wood) and hot water, and also a cold water sink..." I'm not sure I would need a toilet and stove with hot water. I would prefer the sink and shower had hot water! I agree that Messi didn't deserve the MVP.
US/Canadian Railways HI Michael and Caroline. Sylvia and I took the train in the US from Boston to Seattle (haven't written that log yet:(). We noticed that the train was very slow and was frequently passed by freight trains. We were told by our car attendant that the track owners made more money from freight trains than from passenger trains so the freight trains got priority. We were 14 hours late getting to Seattle but as we were in no hurry it didn't bother us. The journey itself and the train experience was a lot of fun.
How unfortunate about that trip through the Rockies! I'd planned to cross Canada from east to west, but will certainly reconsider that. I just looked on their site and was shocked at the prices. I went from NY to Chicago and then to California on trains at a fraction of this cost--so surprising that prices are higher in Canada. However, looks as if you're going to enjoy the sites much more in your car!

I took a similar picture... at sunset with the barn surrounded by buffalo. Unfortunately, it was in the age of film and the developer lost the pictures. You should be able to find bears and moose in Yellowstone.
North eastern part of India is very beautiful and also gets explored by tourist even I am looking forward to visit India and this blog really helped me to know about this part of the country and the best way i heard to travel in India is by Booking tickets online
Colorado We are so glad the trip is going well. You are seeing it the right way. So eager to hear more of your impressions. Does it looks the way you thought it would and what has surprised you.
The Spliff State A bit of trivia on your blog title. Last year I had a client text her estranged husband that she had given their out of control 17 year old son Zoloft...an antidepressant. The husband angrily reacted "How dare you give our son a joint". Someone at Apple had thought it a fine joke to put into mobile phones an auto spell correct so that "Zoloft" auto corrected to "Spliff". Now I see a blog where Colorado auto corrects to...
Too much good food! Hi, thanks for your comment. We've been told before our blog is more like a foodies guide to the world!! I suspect we'll need to diet a little when we get home!!
All the best, Caroline
Our Belgian neighbors dream was to travel Rt66... so reading your story reminded us of them. I don't think they ever made it. You've been enjoying American food. I hope you manage to keep your weight down though!
Brave Folks Public transportation in the US is usually fairly dreadful for long distances. I think you're very brave to travel by Greyhound, and I say this as someone who lives here!
I hope you are planning on hitting Chicago on your travels; it's my favorite US city. And if you come to San Diego, let me know.
Sandflies! Oh no, they are the most evil insects ever! If there are sandflies around then we get bitten by them and end up in an itchy hell. Really looking forward to reading your US road trip blogs as this is something on our wish list!
Hi! Hello again,
nice to see you're still following us. Cuba was a fab experience and La Habana & Trinidad were definite highlights.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the blogs of this trip.
Caroline & Michael
We loved Trinidad This was one of our favorite towns in Cuba. Thanks for the memories. We'll have one of those Bucaneros with you. Happy people and lots of music.

Hi folks, we are Michael and Caroline, previously blogging as michaelandcaroline, to record our career break "gap year" - 2007 to 2009. We loved it so much we've decided to do it again!
Having tried desperately to reacclimatise to work and normal life after our last big adventure for the past 3 years (full marks for effort eh!), somehow this didn’t quite grab us as much as the thought of travelling to places we love and those we have aspired to & dreamed about but somehow haven’t made it to so far – so we had to put this right!!
