Hi, Next stop after Venice Beach was the tropical island of Oahu in Hawaii. First impressions sadly weren't as we expected. The weather was miserable and there were no Hawaiin girls doing the Hoola! I also got stopped for the 100th time to have a " special search ", the rubber glove jokes are now wearing thin! Our hotel was great - 49th floor overlooking Honalulu which was amazing. Our first full day was spent at Pearl Harbour which was very interesting...

Hello, As Dave rightly pointed out on the message board, an update on our travels is long overdue. Mike has started writing one loads of times but somehow he never gets very far (must be all that beer)... A lot has happened since the last postcard. We finished our U.S. roadtrip in New Orleans after surviving the motel from hell (complete with silent phone calls to our room throughout the night) in Baton Rouge. Our time in the Big Easy was fun, the hi...

Hello! Well, I thought it was about time to update the website, it seems so long ago now that we were in Nova Scotia.

Went to Salem to see the witch museum (where Mike said I should feel at home), and saw the not-so-impressive Plymouth Rock (although we nearly didn't get there because Mike asked the tra...

Hi, here is my first postcard, hope I remember all the interesting bits !! Should explain some of the photos and bring you sort of up-to-date. From Quebec we drove to Mount Carleton to camp (there are pictures of this). It was very very scenic and apparently the fishing is good too. Due to us literally being attacked by mozzies and horse flies we left the next day ! There were sightings of moose and bears but unfortunately we saw neither. From Mount...

Hello! We are having a fab time in Canada. Montreal was ok, not much to do there though other than climb the Mont Royal which we did. Other than that all we really did was shop! Still, we now own all the camping equipment we could possibly need (Mike\'s been carrying it, I tried but the odds of me managing to walk in a straight line are slim at the best of times, with a 10 tonne backpack, tent, sleeping bag and mat it was near impossible). Anyway, we...
