I got up around 8:30 and realized that the hotel stopped the free breakfast service at 9am!!  Ant and I hauled butt, dressed up and  went downstairs to get scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes and OJ.  We brought it back to our room and ate there.  The breakfast was ok, at least it was free.  After we ate, we went to McDonalds in front of the hotel to get some Iced Coffee.  We saw that advertised at every McD's we passed so we figured we get some.  ...

My cousins is American like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Terminator. Is nice. It was great craic. (Please note that I am NOT referring to the illegal substance of rocks of cocaine.. I don't like!) Instead I mean is much fun! We party till 2999... ok, it lasted a few days.

Automobile trip from San Antonio Texas to Vancouver Canada, across Canada and back to Texas. 6091 miles total!

Well I am finally back from my trek around the country and what a trip it was!  And oh the things I have seen!  And here comes the awards ceremony:Longest drive: Across North Dakota.  Now, you may be saying "wait a minute, Elizabeth, Montana is bigger than ND."  Yes, it is, but ND is so straight and boring that it's irritating and annoying. Longest five hours of my life....and I can't get those back...Think of the things you could do in five hours: play a round of g...

zondag 17 augustus vloog ik om 11 uur naar philidelpia toe. de dag er voor was ik naar een Iron Maiden concert geweest, ik denk dat het hier door kwam dat ik niet helemaal fit was. en hoe ik het vliegtuig in gekomen ben is nog een beetje vaag. maar schijnbaar is het wel gelukt. ik had een tussen stop in philidelpia waar ik door de douane moest. voor de mensen die wel eens in de vs zijn geweest weten dat het niet makelijk is voor de gemiddelde toerist om hetb land binnen te komen. maar stel je...

My parents own a boat on the Willamette River which runs through the city of Portland, dividing East from West.  Their boat is docked right by where the Portland Blues Festival is set-up.  This means four days of great music, great friends/family and great food.  It's one of the best times to come out!  We BBQ'd almost everyday and it was just awesome.  It was muggy at first (I think due to that smoke warning) and then it gradually got nicer.  By the last day it ...

After stopping overnight at some hotsprings in Nevada I make a beeline through Nevada and eastern Oregon and arrive back home late in the afternoon.  It has been an amazing trip but it is still good to see the nice town that I live in with its good weather and scenery.  It is sad to be ending this trip but it is good to be home.

Well. I just got back from two weeks  traveling in Washington State and Oregon.  I was traveling with my grandmother and aunt. Part of the time, we stayed with friends, part living out of a van and the rest sleeping on the floor on mats- both interesting but not totally without its comforts. I moved out of my rented room last month and since have been living out of a suitcase. Soon the suitcase will be turned in for a backpack. This trip to the Pacific northwest was a long-time desi...

Alicia graduated from Bend Oregon with a degree as a dental technician.....   It was great to see her so happy and proud.... she had tooth brushes hanging on her tassel.... just so no one would miss what her degree was in.  Alicia's mom, our daughter, Angela and her husband Bill were so pleased.   After she graduated they had a large party....   The following is just a little pictural review of the celebration....

So, its been an exciting few days! Thursday we tried to rent a car as we wanted to drive down the coast and check out a few places on the way. We visited three different places and got quotes for picking up the car in Portland and dropping it off in San Fran three days later. We decided to go with Budget, it was just shy of three hundred and fifty dollars for the three days, on top of which we would have to factor in food and accomodation costs. We rang up to book the car and found...

Post cards from 44 of the 50 States.

We are staying one night, then heading down to Montana. I am feeling anxious but a little anxiety. I am so excited to see a friend. I am not sure what to expect as I have not travelled to the midwest often. Hopefully alot of people will read and respond to this blog. Right now we are waiting for th RV to be ready so we ...

Here are some pictures of the Capital, its very nice and well kept. In the summer this place is very crowded with torists.

Just returned from a 2 week house hunting trip to Portland and I can't even begin to describe how excited I am to finally be making the move. Portland has been my dream destination for the better part of 3 years, or pretty much since my 1st visit and all I can say is "here I come!" I've had the good fortune of traveling to 40+ of our amazing States, but there's just something magical about the Pacific Northwest, specifically my future home, Portland, Oregon.

More to com of my visit to this beautiful part of USA.
