Day 1 Max picked me up from LAX and at that moment it was hard to believe almost 6 months had passed since he dropped me off!  It almost felt like I'd had one big crazy dream!   Telling him all I'd done though made me remember how much I've accomplished in 6 months - a lot more then you ever do on the 9-5 grind!  It was good to see a familiar face, be in a familiar place and be able to speak English - although still couldn't stop thanking everyone with a 'g...

Well the trip has got off to a great start as successfully booked and checked into my flights, and made my transfer in Columbua, so right now sitting in a plane in Bogota Columbia bound for Santiago Chile!  Not many blondies on board todays flights & there's lots of  Spanish being spoken ...  I'm making out words here and there and even had to speak a bit 'donde esta el bano' & 'agua por favour' & lots of 'si' & 'gracias' & smiles!

At Carpenteria I saw no more than the inside of the hotel and the road in & out. Definitely keen to do it all again one day at a slower pace - would love to spend more time Las Vegas & SF in parti...

Yay I'm on my way to Santa Barbara & blogging from my iPhone ... I have my baby back!!! (Is it wrong to be in love with a bit of plastic & metal???). See bottom of page if you want to read my iPhone saga and read my vent - it's long winded but needed to blog & get it off my chest!!! But the good stuff ... I knew as soon as we arrived in SF (San Francisco if you missed the earlier blog) that we were going to love it! The city has more depth and char...
