Hi All, I made it safe and sound to Beijing – planning to tour the city today.
Hi All, I made it safe and sound to Beijing – planning to tour the city today.
Hi All! Just a quick one to get this new travel log started. I’m leaving tomorrow, Sunday Nov 20 to Beijing, China – the first stop on my trip. I arrive there on Nov 21st. I do not know what…
Between our off-road adventure and getting back to the Bay Area we have seen lots of beautiful, impressive and/or weird things. So indulge me in giving an overview in a few photo albums. On October 8th we made it to…
Today we visited Canyonlands National Park. Instead of taking the paved roads, we decided to take one of the 4WD only roads. This enabled us to get away from the crowds and access great views of the Colorado River. The…
After Mt Rushmore we continued to Devil’s Tower, WY – a close encounter of the best kind! We then left the cornfields of Wyoming for the Rockies in Colorado. ‘Rocky Mountains National Park’ was worth the drive-through. We stopped in…
After several days of driving through cornfields (and believe me, all cornfields look alike), the Black Hills of South West Dakota were a very welcome sight. Somewhere between the cornfields of Iowa, we did manage to find a ballpark and…
First visit to Chicago for both of us and we liked it a lot! The architectural mix is intriguing and impressive – even a bit surreal every now and then. Made me think of some of the drawings of ‘Schuiten…
After 10 days of solid driving (we left Anchorage, AK on Aug 15th and arrived in Madison, WI on Aug 25th) we made it to Madison. It was a long 10 days and the drive through the prairie-lands actually got…
We flew into Anchorage from San Francisco on 14 Aug around midnight. First stop: long term airport parking to pick up Sterlin. The next day we started our trek in the general direction of Chicago. We stopped in Tok, AK;…
We just couldn’t stay away! As mentioned previously we had to be back in SFO for fingerprinting. No choice really… so as we had to ‘interrupt’ our trip we decided to make the most of it. On Wednesday August 11th…
So here we are in Anchorage, AK, from where we fly to San Francisco today Aug 11. We just missed the place too much to be away for so long…. Just kidding (although…). No, we need to go back there…
After our ‘Dalton Highway’ adventure (and I have finally been able to add a photo album there, so you may want to check that post again) we started heading south. Let me add that for both of us this was…
Finally achieved the ultimate in camping. To access email remotely through a Wi-Fi connection. Ha. Camping will never be the same again (this post was made from a campground).
Just squeezing in a quick post before heading off to Denali National Park. The last week has been spent driving North, and I mean North. We crossed the Artic Circle (66Deg33′) and continued to a place called Deadhorse on Prudhoe…
Obviously we made it successfully from Juneau to Skagway. However, no more ferries for us (at least for a while). We plan to be land-based for the next few weeks. Skagway was quite the quaint little tourist town. We preferred…
