Wow! Are,'t you the lucky one!
You couldn;t get that experience on a Thomas Cook package tour!

Hi Brian, Shirley,

I'm hoping I left the jinx in the US. If something happens in Fiji, then I may have to cancel my trip for the good of the pacific rim!

Thanks for the panning tip.

Hi Steve.

The 'jinx' still trails behind you!

Have you heard about the power outage in California and Arizona especially the San Diego area where the airport was closed.

Six million people were without power with many trapped in lifts and on pleasure rides. (when this happened in New York some years ago there was a surge in the birth rate nine months later)

There have been many ceremonies to commemorate 9/11 - (I think its secret thanksgiving that you have left the USA )

By the way the speed of pan in your second video was much better.

Keep having fun and enjoy Fiji!

Just read about massive power cut in San Diego. Nothing to do with you?

Have a good flight to Fiji, it was great to catch up in San Diego!

HI Clare. It's been a great start to the holiday - but I'm already getting anxious about there being only 5 months to go! I'll be getting the "end of holiday blues" soon:-)

Steve I'm loving hearing about all the places you've been to, loved the blogs along Route 66, you sound like you're having a brilliant time and only 2 weeks or so into it!!!!

Clare x x x

Just had a text from mum. She says to tell you that she is away on holiday until Sunday so wont be able to check up on your progress.

just to let you know we've got your blog bookmarked.

Have fun, and best wishes for a successful trip!

Brian & Shirley
