An adventure through the states
This morning waking in Nebraska, we knew it was going to be a busy day. We had to check out earlier than usual which was a bit of a scramble to be on time. Our first stop was the near by laundry, we’ve only really got our winter clothes around at the moment. We keep one …
We haven’t found a whole lot of interesting things to do at this time of year in Colorado so far, and with time running away for us we decided that we’d head off today, hoping to reach to Nebraska though Kansas. Upon programming a place we wanted to visiting in Nebraska into the SatNav, it …
Day 100! Wohoo! We woke as tired as we went to bed, but we are so close and we know we will make it to Colorado today! It was time to pack up and hit the road. We had no idea what activities we might be able to take part in so, planned to stop at …
Having missed out on visiting much of Colorado previously, managing to just clip the corner on our way to Utah. We felt we owed it to Colorado to pop back in and see some more of the state. This also helps guide us towards the Kansas and Nebraska areas, next on our list. We were …
Today we were lucky enough to have a fairly active day, it’s quite nice to be out of the car for a bit at times. As it’s Sunday we can’t do anything with the car so we’ve decided to just go and have some fun. After our brilliant day at yellowstone we popped back out …
The town of West Yellowstone Montana, is really neatly laid out little town and quite quaint. Its hard to imagine how packed it must be at peak times of the year. We felt lucky to have had the chance to stay here it’s like having a secret slice of the best pie ever before anyone …
Yesterday we arrived at Kalispell in Montana, we had originally planned to head to Glacier National Park, in the north, half owned by the US and half owned by Canada. One of the suggested routes was for us to pop into Canada, which was the shortest drive there surprisingly, even though it would have probably …
Waking up in Coeur D’Alene today was a great, it’s nice to have made it to yet another state. The activities we have planned for Idaho are lower down in the state, so we are only here for a short stop over. Coeur D’Alene is a very pretty town and is surrounded by the lake …
Today turned out not to go as planned, it was a long drive that wasn’t helped by the fact that the very activity we came to do to break up the day turned out to be shut. The weather in Washington state has been as we expected, rather overcast and a few showers. This was …
By the time we arrived back in Tacoma, Washington it was late evening. The time difference between Alaska and this side of the US is currently only and hour, so it’s not half as bad as when we got back from Hawaii, which is a good thing as we have a pretty busy day ahead. We are …
Flying out from SeaTac Airport in Tacoma, Washington gave yet another new flight experience for me! A night time flight! Although looking down into the darkness below was somewhat scary I appreciated the fantastic views of the lights of the city below. There were a couple of options that we desperately wanted to try in …
This morning started with an extremely sickly drive both up and down and around a lots of bends, despite the beautiful tree lined roads. After last night’s late arrival and some planning, we have booked our flights to Alaska, it was a difficult decision to decide exactly what we were going to do there. Due …
