Our first stop was LA, Hollywood to be precise.  Completely by accident we ended up staying opposite the Guitar Centre, which was cool.  I narrowly managed to not buy a new bass, finally convincing myself that carrying it around for 6 months might be annoying...We discovered quite quickly…

THE JOY IS IN THE JOURNEY! A father and son journey to New Zealand's South Island in a Camper Van. No Agenda! We wake up each day look at the map-point at a destination and then GO! This is how life should be. Point at your destination and then JUST GO! No worries mate! Be Happy

   Well folks, I have safely returned from 5 weeks of travel, back to LA and the strange world I consider my normal life.  And the strangest thing is that as soon as I unpacked and settled in, it was as if I never left; everyone here continued about their business, mail and bills cam…

Here it is, The End. Of this chapter of my life, anyway. Of bouncing from one city to another. From plane to bus. From couch to couch. The end of wearing the same clothes day in and out, until I can't take it anymore and buy a new shirt that I eventually wear to an equal point of loathing. The end …

This was the last day of my holiday, before boarding the flight back to Melbourne. Dave took me to the Getti Centre, an amazing museum, which as you would expect in California had achieve a great mix of indoor and outdoor. The art was fantastic but it was the architecture of the Museum itself that …

Oh no... The time has come for me to say goodbye and go back home. It's just one problem... " I DON'T WANNA GO !!!" "Please, let me stay" *crying*... lol ;o)I had a great time in SoCal, in Orange County and Costa Mesa. My friend, Chris is the sweetest person I've ever met, and I also had the p…

We only had 10 days in Costa Rica and found exactly what we were looking for, surf and adventure. Currently under construction...OK...I've realized I don't like writing all that much, so if you've got questions please ask and please check out eric's blog from the trip http://www.travbuddy.com/travel-blogs/12094

My flight to Tokyo was not scheduled to depart until 1:00pm, so I had about 4 hours to kill.  I went over to the Tom Bradley Terminal at LAX (the International Terminal there) and got checked in with Japan Airlines.  I have a very short layover at Narita -- only 45 minutes …

We got back to Los Angeles after a brilliant ten days in Vegas, looking forward to staying somewhere other than the hood we stayed in last time!   We got the Greyhound again, long but a big money saver over flying.  We were right in the center of Hollywood, a stones throw from t…

So out of nowhere, my dad goes, "Okay we're leaving for Hawaii in a couple of days. Wanna come?" I was like heck yes! A "No duh" was actually going through my head. Both my parents are so spontaneous sometimes it kills me. Anyway, come Monday, and I am still not packed. Me and my sister realized th…

Here I am, finally sitting at home writing my last journal of this trip….   The two weeks in the United States were fantastic. We had beautiful weather almost every single day! The first 2 days, we spent in Los Angeles. We visited the Universal Studios which were really interesting and jus…

15. Malls Plenty of places like The Grove and Century City mall have outdoor shows, especially in the summer--great for photographs. Get there early for a seat in the shade, though.   14. Borders Any of them, as long as the air conditioning is on in the summer.   13. Da Derby On t…

For breakfast I eat a slice of chocolate cake, 6 pieces of bacon, and a cup of coffee. Sufficiently nutri-ated, I embark for Santa Cruz.

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a really nice Christmas Day whatever you got up to. It's lucky I like Christmas a lot cos I had 3 in a row! My 14hr flight to LA was uneventful but unfortunately I got hardly any sleep. At one point the cabin crew dressed up like Santa + his reindeer and gave lollie…

I would spend the next few days, driving around the LA area, and seeing some people I knew from before. This is a summary of the various areas that I have seen, and issues that I had to deal with. [NOTE: Yes, I know the pictures have faded, but they are the only ones I could find on this trip]I did…
