Så kom dagen, hvor vi skulle hente vores mobilehome. Vi prajede en taxa og kørte over Bay Bridge og fandt udlejningsfirmaet uden besvær. Vi havde en voucher med og underskrev en række papirer før vi blev præsenteret for det rullende hjem. Check det lige ud - det er ret stort. Efter en indgående instruktion om de forskellige funktioner (varme, vand, septiktank, generator, lys, gas, solenergi etc.) gik vi ombord. Den første udfordring var at vende skrumlet. 8½ meter er ca. det dobbelte af en normal bil. Og selvsagt endte vi 1½ miles efter start på en blind vej. Så jeg kørte ind i en indkørsel for derefter at bakke ud. Der var en bump af dimensioner, så selv om jeg sneglede mig op af denne indkørsel, krængede mobilhomet som et slagskib ramt af en torpedo.

You can come with me as much as possible through this medium. It should be a wild ride, hopefully I can share whatever possible here whenever possible. Let's go on an adventure together, it all begins in 13 or so hours. toodles. ... read more

This will be quick and dirty so that I don't fall asleep at the keyboard: Made it home after over 48 hours and couting of no sleep. (Realize that I can't keep doing this on major travel days for the rest of my life...oh well, guess I'm going to go first class, then). I am in Oakland housesiting a lovely flat and lovely cat - who is like a calico female version of my kitty, Arlo. It is really nice welcoming. More later. For now, I might have hit my limit of how long I can push off sleep in the name of warding off jet lag. At this point, I welcome the jet lag. Love you all and nothing says america like the smell of fried chicken and fries al Will write more later. ... read more

Just a few photos of purification fountains in Japan. According to our guide Kondor, before you enter a shrine, you need to use the purification fountain to wash your hand and rinse your mouth. At the offering hall, you throw in a few coins into the offering box and bow deeply twice, clap your hand twice, and bow deeply once more and then pray for a few seconds. Just want to test whether I can upload an video successfully before we start our trip. Don't know if I will really be able log in but I'll try.... read more

Here we are in the Bay Area and things have slowly ground to a halt. Hooking up with friends has just led to hanging out with friends, consequently there is not a whole lot of new experience to tell you all about. The very best thing about being here is staying with, and around, friends. Dee and Kevin, bless their hearts, asked us if we would mind looking after their house, dog and cats in Oakland while they spent a week on the east coast. AS IF WE WERE DOING THEM A FAVOUR!! Well perhaps we were, but favours cut both ways. Their home is just the best place to stay in the Bay Area, our bedroom has a deck with great views over the bay to San Francisco, great sunsets, a fabulous garden with a ... read more
