San Francisco is a beautiful place. We have toured the city and have seen famous houses and streets. Fishermans Wharf is a nice spot lined with resturants and fresh seafood stalls. We visited Alcatraz which was really interesting. We walked the Goldern Gate Bridge. Our favourite day was when we took a bus trip to Yosemite National Park. Words could not describe how beautiful it is up there. We hiked up to a waterfall and hired mountain bikes and biked arou...

WOW!!! Las Vegas is crazy, awesome, spectacular.... The hotels/casinos here are brilliant! Each with their own different theme and amazing decoration!

Yes we made our contribution to t...

LA is not that great. The city is covered in smog which is quite gross. Not much to see and do here but good to spend 3 days site seein...

Although Waikiki is full of surfers chasing the same small section of wave, that compare nothing to the Goldcoast. The snorkelling however has been gorgeous!! W...

Thanks to everyone for your messages and the birthday wishes!!! For Miranda's birthday we went swimming with wild dolphins on the west coast of Oahu island. There were about 200 dolphins in the pod that we came across! We got within about 2m of them and saw many little dolphins swimming by their mothers. They were almost close enough to touch, however they are federally protected so we had to refrain :-( They were amazing! It was unbelievable how comfortable ...
