We woke up about 7am this morning not realising the time as our room has no natural daylight! The ship sailed overnight from Honolulu to Maui so we got up, had some breakfast and went out into the beautiful sunshine 🙂 We didn’t book an excursion today so found a taxi and asked the driver… Continue reading Good Night Oahu, Good Morning Maui

Alcatraz
Today was really fun, we packed in as much as possible as it was our only full day in San Francisco. This morning we drove into Fisherman’s Wharf for our trip to Alcatraz, the rock is just over a mile from the bay so they offer a boat ride as part of the trip. The… Continue reading Alcatraz
San Diego Zoo, Simples
Since we were in San Diego, it seemed rude not to visit the world famous San Diego Zoo. We spent the afternoon walking round; its a huge place and we must have walked for miles. They had elephants, giraffes, big cats, camels, pandas, polar bears, meerkats and loads more. My favourite was the giraffes, there… Continue reading San Diego Zoo, Simples

We got on the horses, Paul’s was called Hank, he was a gorgeous dark brown colour and was well behaved, mine was… Continue reading Dude Where’s my Horse?

We met our tour guide Jeff this morning in the French Quarter, there were seven of us it total and luckily… Continue reading Creole Bike Ride Through New Orleans
Gator Swamp Tour
We arrived in New Orleans yesterday evening at about 18:30 local time. This was a bit later than we had hoped as we got stuck in a huge traffic jam for an hour. After we checked in to our hotel (the beautiful 1896 O Malley’s house B&B) we headed down to the French Quarter for… Continue reading Gator Swamp Tour
Four States in One Day
We left Pensacola, Florida at lunch time and headed west on the I-10. We arrived in Mobile, Alabama within about an hour and decided to visit the Alabama Battleship Memorial Park; a World War 2 battleship that you can explore inside; Grandad you would have loved it, I will email you more photo’s! They also… Continue reading Four States in One Day
