01.09.2014 Day 11: Boulder and Onto Estes Park Let's just put yesterday behind us shall we? Since then everything has been brilliant. Woke up slowly, and gradually creaked our way off to a local Waffle House for breakfast. Sitting next to us was a nice American guy and his Korean wife, and we all got talking. We told him we planned to drive up through the Rockies to Seattle and he gave us all kinds of excellent advice on the best route. We started with a ge...

31.08.2014 Day 10 Fly to Denver Colorado The horror of this day is almost too fresh in my mind to write it down. Event One: It began at 5am when we needed to wake up to sort out our 'repack' and get on the road back to St Louis to catch the plane to Denver.

Seriously, on the way there, we dropped into at least 4 other clothes shops and not one of them sold plus sizes for me. It drags you down a bit when you start feeling there are no options ...

26.08.2014 Day four : Drive to Panama City Leaving mid morning, we decided to take a round-about trip to get to New Orleans. Instead of driving the interstate, we drove north into Georgia and headed for Albany. This little town was where Ken's grandfather and his father were buried but it had been years since he had been there, and he wanted to find the gravestones again. Just discussing the heat wave, how hot was it on that drive? All I can say is without ...
