A wildlife update is needed methinks. If I have seen one Californian Condor I have seen a hundred - well I think thats what they are - big wing span, red heads - soaring on thermals all along the coast from California to Oregon ... and there I was on a windy headland looking at some lighthouse when these 4/5 birds almost flew over my head - pelicans I thought. There have been so many stopping off... Read Full Entry

Keeping this travel blog enables me to reflect and record my journeys as well as communicate with my family and friends. I shouldn't be amazed me that complete strangers in this travel community will want to read about what I am up to as they are a great bunch of folk. I have swapped my home and hospitality for many years now and always I have met such wonderful open, generous and friendly people. Travelling alone lots of the time I am never lonely ..there is always the travelblog to keep me company. Planning for future trips and onwards now. Don't let the grass grow under you feet. ... full info

Stunning photos again. The flowers in California coastal Drive 1 look just like the Alicante weed, perhaps some Hunky Spanish Pirate brought them over? Tel says well done having survival kit close at hand add some chocolate to it. Lol xxxx

Tall trees
Hi Lynne. Having a great time as usual and seeing everything and more. Yes, the US does have the tallest trees, our Kari and tingle in the west of Oz are only second tallest! We also have a tre e that we could drive through, at no cost, but it fell down, because of the drive thrus... A bit like McKays! Hopefully they will fall one day! Now one can just look at the stump..... We are having a great time in Spain. Now in Barcelona, arrived this PM.... Love it already! Col & Peter

How can we compare?
Hi Lynne This sure looks better than the views during my week of celebration in Leicester!!! Many thanks for the card - seem to have hundreds - will have to read them all through when things settle a little. Had a lovely time with Arthur on my day 'in charge' and lovely weekend with Mark, Annabelle, Peter and Joy - enjoyed swimming / sauna / steam room at hotel. Now back home with piles of washing etc. Off on Sunday to Kent to visit more cousins and no doubt celebrate some more - it sure is hard work being 70!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy your time with new friends look forward to reading the next blog Love Jill x

What an amazing trip you're having Lynne. I've really enjoyed reading your blog and the wonderful photos. It's been great reliving many of the highlights from our holiday last year - but of course you've done so much more. There are a lot more places on my to do list now! Well we're off to Madeira tomorrow (at 3.00 a.m.!) just for a week - looking forward to exploring this beautiful island and finding some sunshine. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Love Jane x x

Gorgeous Photos
Really gorgeous photos, especially of the trees. Interesting about the weather. I know that Mark Twain said the coldest winter he ever had was a summer in San Francisco. I kind of felt the same way about Ireland when I was there.
