Hello from San Fran! We've been having a great time here exploring the city (it's a cleaner, friendlier, nicer version of LA!) The city has a really European feel to it somehow and there is so much going on.
We are staying with Jim and Susan Acquistapace (Jim works with my Dad - K) in their BEAUTIFUL house in Berkeley, a college town just…
CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE NEAR THE END OF OUR TRIP! KEEP CHECKING FOR PHOTOS/ JOURNAL ENTRIES AND DON'T FORGET THE MESSAGE BOARD! SEE YOU SOON! Wowzer... it's taken a lot of hard work just to get to the start of this journey... anyone who has seen the size of our wardrobes compared to the size of one insy winsy backpack will know what we mean! One pair of jeans or two? And how many bikinis? And how will we survive without (shock horror!) our hair straighteners? All very im…
CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE NEAR THE END OF OUR TRIP! KEEP CHECKING FOR PHOTOS/ JOURNAL ENTRIES AND DON'T FORGET THE MESSAGE BOARD! SEE YOU SOON! Wowzer... it's taken a lot of hard work just to get to the start of this journey... anyone who has seen the size of our wardrobes compared to the size of one insy winsy backpack will know what we mean! One pair of jeans or two? And how many bikinis? And how will we survive without (shock horror!) our hair straighteners? All very important questions which no doubt will be discussed further on here as the journey begins (and the frizz sets in!) Now for the important bit... where we're going... Ok, so we start off in Bangkok for a few nights, before heading up to the Bridge on the River Kwai, then down via some Thai Islands to Kuala Lumpar, the Cameron Highlands, before finishing this leg in Singapore. Next we fly to Cairns to check out the Great Barrier Reef, Magnetic Island etc, before making our journey overland to Sydney where we'll see some friends and relatives. Next we fly to Christchurch on South Island New Zealand where we're going to check out Narnia (or where it was filmed at least...) then head up to Auckland, hopefully squeezing in some snowboarding and lots of sightseeing with some relatives over there. Next comes the lazing around on a boat/ beaches bit as we head for Fiji. We're taking a boat trip around different islands for ten days before heading to... Hawaii! Spending a few days there checking out Waikiki and Pearl Harbour before moving onto the USA. There we will visit LA and San Fransisco... before heading back home! PHEW! We'll be putting regular updates and photos on here, so make sure you come back often and check them out. And.... as you're already online why not post a message on the MESSAGE BOARD and let us know your news....? Let the adventures begin... Love Karen and Fleur ;-)

Hey y'all from Californ-i-a!
We had a dodgy start to our time in Los Angeles. A very dodgy start. Basically we arrived at LAX late at night and had nowhere booked to stay, so this very kind o…

Hehe! Hello Alice! Yes Fleur and I are holding onto travelling memories by keeping the message board going! I had a big shock to the system going back to work this week after just a weeks holiday - I think 4 months is a much better length for travels! I think Fleur and I need to discuss more travel plans over a Starbucks! xxx
karen
Ditto! Coldness sucks... as do dark mornings and dark evenings :-( I was tempted to take a sicky this morning until they said on GMTV that today is the worst day of the year for people taking sickies... so I thought I'd better not! Maybe tomorrow...

I can't believe it was last year now that we went travelling!!! I think you're right we'll have to go again this year the more badges the better lol!!!
karen
Fleur... We went travelling last year :-( Oh well... just means we'll have to go again this year! Hehe!
Im Trav (as they called it!) do a tour from Hanoi in Vietnam to Saigon, then you can add on a bit from Saigon through Cambodia to Bangkok... sound good? Our backpacks can get some more badges!!

PS My head hurts...and my mum was confused as to why I returned from our festivities with a tinsel tail! jokes!
Karen
Fleurie I've had a new idea (lightbulb moment!)... we should keep this going forever and then whenever we go away anywhere we can add to it - we'll look like the most well-travelled people on the planet!
Mucho love,
K Rog xx

Hehe! Fleur how sad are we keeping this going for as long as possible?! At least we can pretend we're still travelling and have our little bit of webspace!
Well... the furthest we've travelled for a while is Southampton, and wasn't that an experience hey?! Hehe! We can travel around the world but can't get back from Southampton to Warsash!
K xx
