Hej så har vi rundet 2000 miles idag, det er 3200 km. Vi sov længe men kom adsted fra dette dårlige hotel i rimelig tid, kørte på den gamle Route 66 i Flagstaff, men den var ikke noget at skrive hjem om, vi forsatte ad 179 til Seadong en rigtig natur vej, hvor vi endte i Sedona, en rigtig hyggelig by, her kunne vi godt finde på at slå os ned. fortsatte mod Phoenix, Scottsdale, det er en Oase midt i ørkenen, vi bor på Cottonwods resort i Scottsdale, stedet for Golf elskere, vi har en dejlig stue med et lille køkken, soveværelse, badeværelse, samt udendørs Jazcusi, så det var det første vi havnede i, kørte en lille tur fandt en lille hyggelig dansebar 6 km. herfra. Her er varmt som bare pokker, så vi havner ... read more

'Ello all. I'm travelling in the US at the moment, in Phoenix Arizona. Work has sent me here on business, dragging me kicking and screaming away from the beach volleyball courts on Manly beach. How will I survive? It will be tough............but maybe you can help? After Phoenix, I head to the godforsaken places that are Calgary and Fort McMurray (I've bought my ski jacket and hat) then Toroto, NY and London. By the time I hit London on the morning of Friday 21st, I will be in serious withdrawl symptoms. Sand, sunshine and weekends spent in my boardshorts will be swapped for rain, cold, and miserable people either sacked or waiting to be sacked. However, maybe collectively we can drown our collective sorrows, and maybe, just maybe, a Phoenix can arise from the ashes of ... read more

The Golden Gate never looked so beautiful... As he crossed the state line and into Arizona, he thought back to his life; what defined him. He thought about his family and how strange it was to now be separated from them. He thought about his mother and how much he misses her smile. He thought about his dad and how much he missed his laugh. He thought about his brother and how much he missed he goofiness. He thought about his older brother and how much he missed the closest thing to a role model he's ever had. He was diving head first into the shallow end of the past. He thought about his home, and how it overlooked one of the most beautiful vineyards he'd ever seen. He thought about home. He thought about all ... read more

e i e i o..... Joe and Keith were up early this morning looking for snakes, lizards etc. But only come across a tarantula, and a dead one at that. When Nige got up - Keith drove them down to Macdonalds Farm where he dropped Joe and Nige off for an hours horse riding. There were a few other people there to, and the guide asked if there were any experienced riders, No one spoke up so Nige somehow ended up with the more experienced horse! - called Cowboy. And off on their way they went. Joe led the group behind the guide, and at one point the guide stopped so his horse could get a drink, leaving Joe leading! Joe's horse (Napoleon) then decided to gallop off, Nige panicked but Joe said he had it ... read more

Nyt kapitel i geografibogen Som at bladre i geografibogen kørte vi ned fra Colorado og Rocky Mountains flotte bjergsider til den røde ørken i Arizona på vej mod Grand Canyon. Gennem Navajo Nation, som er er et stort indianerreservat med flere stammer i. Det kunne vi mærke! En anderledes kultur og noget fremmedartet og - fornemmede vi - lidt protektionistisk; Hvad laver I her? - holdning... Vi kunne ikke finde et sted at overnatte og overvejede at campere på en parkeringsplads uden for et indiansk indkøbscenter, men valgte alligevel - sammen med en anden 'happy camper' - at finde et andet sted; det føltes ikke trygt på en eller anden måde. Som ledt at Guds hånd fandt vore medcampister en campingplads, der ikke var skiltet med og som vores GPS - VIBEKE ikke kunne finde. Hun ... read more
