So we have decided to adjust our trip a tiny bit. We've decided we would both rather make ground across the south and allow time for us to check out Colorado and Utah before heading down to Las Vegas, San Diego and back to LA, we have therefore added around 1000 miles to our trip. Paul gets to do more biking and i get to do more outdoor exploring, can't wait to see the red rocks!! As much as we would like to see it all, maybe too ambitious and we have had to cho...

We decided to ignore the logical approach of not driving three hours for the sake of a day and head to The Keys..no need for logic..we couldn't miss it out?! A bit of a flying visit but it was so beautiful, it was well worth it. The drive through the Keys of south Florida was absolutely stunning with the scenic drive along the U.S 1 overseas highway; surrounded with undisturbed views of bright bright sky and clear blue waters. The route along the highway has l...

Reading these reviews we re-evaluated our choice and decided to go back to Universal, except to the Island of Adventure this time, turned out, great choice! Slightly upset I didn't get to see the big castle and Minnie Mouse though :( We also decided to get express tic...

Trying to resist temptation of being a kid for the day was too hard, Universal Studios was a must see. At $102 each this was a massive treat for us so we were expecting great things. The first ride we went on we waited for over an hour and it was worth it...for the Minions!!! ha! A 3D ride for 10 year olds but it was actually really good and Paul loved it :) Most of the rides here seem to be 3D; Minions, Transformers, The Mummy, all good, Transformers ride AMA...
