  • San Francisco/Homeward Bound Day 17 080822

    Please click below for today’s final pictures…⬇️ https://youtu.be/p5szeFvjuoo We didn’t need to rush to get up this morning except that breakfast was included with the hotel, so we had to be down in the restaurant before 10am. We had an Alton breakfast (named after the hotel), consisting of sausage, scrambled egg, fried potatoes, toast and…

  • San Francisco Day 16 070822

    Please view my video showing todays pics ⬇️ https://youtu.be/DS5nMvERZTI Today was mostly about getting back to San Francisco and enjoying our last night there. We checked out of the hotel in Lodi, passing through miles and miles of vineyards. It was pretty uneventful for the most part apart from Google Maps being a bit laggy…

  • South Lake Tahoe Day 14 050822

    Please click on the link below for a video of today’s pictures ⬇️ https://youtu.be/LQmW7Ws_MPo Unfortunately the weather forecast for today was spot on. So, I thought today’s instalment would be very brief, with nothing to write about. It was grey, miserable, cool and pouring down with rain. Even the cleaner blasting out Sade on her…

  • South Lake Tahoe Day 13 040822

    Please click on the YouTube link below to see my photos ⬇️ https://youtu.be/XK27FkErZYo We left Truckee for the second time in our adventure and headed south to South Lake Tahoe. It’s roughly an hour’s drive from start to finish. On the way we were able to make some stops where we saw amazing views of…

  • Truckee Day 12 030822

    Please watch the YouTube video below to see today’s pictures ⬇️ https://youtu.be/w7GcidjXqTw We left Basecamp at Tahoe City early this morning and arrived at our next stop, Truckee, at 10am. This obviously wasn’t our original plan as this would have been day 2 of staying in Reno…. Cedar House Sports Hotel is the loveliest hotel…

  • Reno/Not Reno-Tahoe City Day 11 020822

    Please watch my video of today’s pictures by clicking on the link below ⬇️ https://youtu.be/PEMSO18yXoI If I’d said that today wasn’t eventful I don’t know what is. It certainly didn’t turn out how we expected it to be…. We woke fairly early and headed down to the farmers market on Brockway Road which was about…

  • Truckee Day 10 010822

    Please watch my video of today’s photos ⬇️ https://youtu.be/Z_b1b-fZJ_Y https://youtu.be/v7IOjUV4IYs So we have hit double figures with the number of days we’ve been away…six more days left and then home. I don’t want to think about it yet though, so enough for now. We had breakfast in the Lake Natoma Hotel. In Folsom. It was…

  • Folsom and Johnny Cash Trail Day 9 310722

    Please look at my photos on the video link below ⬇️ https://youtu.be/Bh8fQRAxado At the beginning of writing this (Sunday night) I’m laid on the bed in our hotel in Folsom. I’m absolutely stuffed with steak and whipped potatoes, and the air conditioning is as low as the settings will allow. It is soooo hot, being…

  • Sacramento Day 8 300722

    Please watch my video for today’s pictures ⬇️. https://youtu.be/ccejP3Q5HvA We went down to the hotel lobby to get complimentary tea and coffee. At this point on my journey I haven’t managed to have many cups of Yorkshire tea due to the American love of coffee and coffee machines. Today I had to settle for Earl…

  • Sacramento Day 7 290722

    Please click on the YouTube link below to see a video of today’s pictures ⬇️ https://youtu.be/NCiUi2BMkqk Today was all about customer service, and great customer service at that. Our front of house at Andaz Hotel in San Diego wasn’t entirely convinced whether our taxicab would turn up, so he ordered another to be sure. His…
