ok, we have been a little slow to update the blog but sometimes the life of a traveller is busy, busy. The last time we wrote we were heading back to the west coast to escape the endless snow, which became rain, rain, rain. On route to San Francisco we went to the Redwood National Park which should be at the top of every visitor to the USA's 'to see' list. The Redwoods cover a really large area and at one point we spent 30 miles driving through the trees. They...

After our cheapest day in America so far - where else can you see a new release at the movies for $1.50?? We were happy to see the skies clear over American Fork in time for our dinner. When we woke up in the morning it was, you guessed it, snowing. The snow was settled in for some time so we packed up and moved on...

Third and most importantly, despite the endless strip malls, stores ...

Despite coming halfway across the world and catching 3 busses, a train and 2 planes we arrived at Dana Point to pick up our old Porsche 2 minutes earlier than predicted, amazing. This is a 1966 Porsche 912 thst we bought on ebay 2 weeks ago and happily we found that not only did the car exist but it also goes, hopefully all the way across the country to N...
