Leaving Louisville, we headed towards Cincinnati, OH (not stopping at the distillery as planned giving they were all out of the way and...oh yes, we had another late start!)...When we entered the state, the usual signs for the Visitors Center were not posted, nor did we have any information for the city given we had thrown out OH Triple A books out after leaving the State on the way out West..thinking we would be heading a different way back. So, our first though once we arrived in the city was to find a guide to get us around...we went to city hall, a random Kroger building that we were directed to (Kroger is apparently this big supermarket/everything-you-need chain around that area), and finished with the library where we received information and a map for all of ... read more

*This one is a little late...Katy was paranoid about posting the Graceland photos bc of copyright issues....if you want to see those..just ask one of us:) *Leaving Shreveport, we began our drive towards Memphis. We stopped, first, in Little Rock Arkansas to see where Bill Clinton was formerly governor. Apparently, Little Rock is in the top five of highest crime cities in the USA, but we ended up in an alright part of town. We put a a pizza place we read about in our roadtripping book in the gps and ended up in a dive bar/pizza place that was being torn down in some areas from what looks like an asbestos clean up. We ordered spinach dip as an appetizer at our waiter's suggestion of it being homemade each day...and it was amazing. Then we ... read more

We decided to take the Hoover Dam route outside of the Vegas towards the Grand Canyon, in order to save time. This meant we would probably not make it to Zion national Park of Bryce Canyon. After a quick stop at the Hoover Dam for a few photos and to snap the Welcome to Arizona sign, we continued onward to the Grand Canyon, stopping once in Kingman on Route 66 to have lunch at Mr. D'z Diner. We arrived around 19:00 and after driving around for a bit and taking a few photos of the Canyon, decided to head towards a campground that we had read about in our book in the National Forest (as all the Canyon campsites were full). On the way we passed Grandview Point and decided to stop, realizing once we arrived ... read more

From Santa Barbara, we headed straight for Beverley Hills to go to a party of a friend of Katy's. We ended up in one of the poshest areas of the city for our first few hours. We stayed at the pool/bbq party for most of the afternoon, taking the time to relax and enjoy our surroundings. While there, we met a group of guys living in West Hollywood having a party later that night. They invited us to come, but we still did not figure out where we are staying that night....telling them this, they offered their couch. A couple hours later we were there, waking up the next morning to find a parking ticket on our car. We didnt take any pictures the first day. *We decided to have breakfast in West Hollywood, at a ... read more

We checked out of our hostel by the 11am checkout and then took on SF, with Katy jampacking another day to make sure Can saw most of her favorite city :). We started out by walking along the piers in the opposite direction of the day before, heading towards Giants stadium. We bought sandwiches at the Ferry Building, took a couple photos, and then continued for another 10 minutes or so before turning back towards the car, stopping to get a California sushi roll at a lunch place across from the Ferry Building first. Then, we got in the car to do a quick tour of the famous Lombard Street ("Crookedest street in the world") where Can exclaimed...yea, great, all the roads in Turkey are like this, and then the Victorian houses, were we secured another ... read more
