Last day in KC

Finally - this is really happening! Feel a lot lighter now. The last of the cords have been snipped - job, apartment, computer, car, phone... Some great times with friends over the weekend. Thanks you guys for all the hospitality! Flight leaves for Guatemala City tomorrow at 6 AM. Thanks...

Labour Weekend

Hey Team – it’s been a couple more days and a long weekend, so I guess I’m about ready to give an update. I managed to get hold of tickets to a California vs. Tennessee football game, which was slightly spoiled by the people in front of me. I had a lovely old lady behind me who couldn’t stand...

Houston! We have a problem!

We arrived at Houston on Saturday afternoon 1st September and made our way to the car hire area of the airport. In the process of collecting our car from Budget it became apparent that although we had been quoted around $266 for the hire of the car for 5 days, if they were to slap on insurance...

The First Week

Dear Team So much has happened over the last few days! On Sunday I had an exciting game of soccer (which lasted for two hours!) with some amazingly good European students. The pitch was terrible because the Americans don’t play soccer in a big way, but we pressed on and it was a lot of fun....

Hawaii part 2

The next day we drove to the north of Oahu, around the area where they do a lot of the filming for Lost. We’d booked ourselves onto a horseback riding trip that promised a mountainous trail offering “panoramic views in all directions”. Soon after we arrived at the base camp, we were joined by...

Hawaii part 1

We’d decided to spend our 5 days in Hawaii just on Oahu, mainly because we’d run out of money, but also because we thought that there’d be more than enough on that island to keep us occupied. We’d managed to get a good deal on a hotel room in Waikiki, so it was a short walk to all the main...

Mission Accomplished: Labor Day Sale at REI

I never thought I was the type of girl to salvate over shoes, but at REI, Tim has to follow me around with a mop. We had a GREAT time at the second PLT Flea Market on Saturday... sold another round of stuff and got a kick out of seeing our "trash" become "treasure" once again. The sales were...

Orlando to Fresno

We got up early in Orlando to catch our flights to Salt Lake City and Fresno. Driving back to the airport and returning the car to the right place wasn't too difficult. We then flew to Salt Lake City. It is a stunning city set inbetween the mountains with a huge salt lake nearby. The lake has...

Yosemite

We landed in Fresno, a smallish airport that serves both commercial traffic and private aircraft. Now this is where the fun began... We had established that there was a bus service in Fresno which we would use to get to the Amtrak Station. Once outside the airport we found the bus shelter....
