Vegas vs Williams
We’ve just arrived in Williams, a tiny town near the Grand Canyon after a 4 hour drive from Vegas. Oh my word, it’s such a refreshing change! Firstly, it’s below 100 degrees here so I can breathe properly again.Our hotel has been around since 1871 and the corridors are all sloped and wooden with old photos, sofas and rugs scattered around. The lady on the desk welcomed us like...
LA LA LA
We leave LA today after 5 quality days here. I must say, my expectations of this place were far from what we’ve experienced. I was expecting to see beautiful, busty blondes rollor blading down the beach front & feel pretty intimidated by the glamour & wealth of the city.

MJ's memorial
We’re staying about an hour away from all the Micky Jackson action in LA. Just watching it on CNN but heading downtown later to rub shoulders with Lionel Ritchie and the gang!!! Should be interesting!

Having left San Fransisco on Saturday morning we decided to head for Manchester, California (just up the coast, apparently).
4 hours later we were barely a 3rd of the distance so stopped for a lunch of organic burgers (for baby Vino!) then hit the beach. The sea & waves were so enticing but I...
Myers Briggs P vs J
It’s day 5 of our road trip in the US of A. Despite never having wanted to blog before, the morning I awoke in San Fransisco (at some ludicrously early hour due to jet lag) I decided I wanted to do this mainly so you who are reading it can be updated and get some of the details, which no doubt will be forgotten by the time we’re home and..well that’s the only reason...
