As a final post from our amazing journey we want to share some more of the colours that Polynesia is so full of. The day we arrive we were greeted with a flower necklace that made us smile all the way to the hotel with its colours and scent. We then found our room generously decorated with fresh hibiscus. The same happened on every island we came to. On the streets many people wears a single gardenia or frangipani behind their ear, also men. Many women decorate their hairstyles with artistic arrangements of leaves and flowers. Last but not least you find flowers in strong colours on most clothes that people wear. As a good bye to our followers we are here sharing a part of the amazing variety we saw. Enjoy!... read more

It's now less than 20 hours (and counting) before I leave Sweden. All the paperworks are in order and everything is (more or less) packed. My luggage is just around 8kg (ca 16lbs).. I cannot help to feel that something is missed and that I have this amount of spare time to kill. This is the typhical time I can get butterflies since I have too much free time on my hands. The roadtrip will start off by a baptism by fire. By the time I arrive to Boston and have my car it'll be in the middle of the rush-hour. I must then navigate to my first destination and I don't have any electronic gizmo to guide me. Some have said I'm mad, I just ask them how it was done in the past? It's ... read more

It is now less than a month before I embark on this roadtrip and so far most of the preliminary details have been taken care of. The planned budget-goal is reached, most of the people I am going to visit have been contacted and verified, preliminary dates have been set. I have only about a week left in my apartment before other matters need my attention for about two weeks, so I am starting to feel a bit stressed. At the moment there are a few things that are on my mind. 1) What if homeland security won't allow me entrance for any reason? 2) Do I have sufficient time to drive? I have to average 3.5 hours driving a day in order to make it, but it is a roadtrip and the name itself highly ... read more

There sure is lots of things to take care of and I don't want to rush things. Of all travels I have made so far in my life this will be the far grandest and I want to have as much things in order prior to the actual departure date. There are tickets to buy, car to be rented, paperwork to be sorted out, routes to plan. O the workload, but I honestly think it's better do do it now than on the road. Whether I chose to follow my plans later on, well that's a whole different story So far, the things that I have managed to do are: Passport - OK Plane Tickets $820 -OK Car - Toyota Camry - OK International Drivers License - Applied - Pending Private health-insurance - Applied - Pending ... read more
