Finally on our way!!!!!!

You wouldn't believe how much stuff fits in a small, 2-bedroom appartment! And it just seemed to keep coming out of the ground!!!!!!!

But finally after 3 days of packing and stuffing things into storage, we got on our way today at 4pm!!! Said goodbye to the lovely people at our leasing office in South Beach Marina Apartments; a few small errands, filled up Sterlin and off we were .. .and immediately all the stress from the last few days evaporated - not that Stephen was stressed at all!



Amidst all that stress I managed to have a nice birthday though. Stephen got some wonderful take-away thai food for us and we enjoyed that with a bottle of Veuve, on our camping furniture, in our living room.

Went for drinks in 21st Amendment with good friends for our last evening - thanks guys!



Greetings from Red Bluff, CA from where we will go to Lassen tomorrow!

Welcome to our BLOG

You made it to our travel log!

This is where we post our updates (or weBLOGs) during the trip. The travel log also provides a place for anyone to comment, and yes, we would love to get your comments, travel tips, advice etc! You will need a blogger account to post comments, but this account is easy enough to set-up. We do not plan to publish too many photos in the travel log, instead we will use the Ofoto website. It provides a much better user interface and unlimited storage for photos.

We will start the travel log for 'real' once we are on the road. Mainly because the next few weeks will be spent getting the car (Sterling) ready for the trip, getting the apartment packed up and everything into storage. And of course having a going away party. We can't believe it is only 2 weeks until we head off.

We are not sure how often we will update the travel log. We will endeavour to do this at least once a week - hopefully more and not less. So if you want to see what we are up to, then make sure to return to our website on a regular basis.
