“I’m looking forward to the future, and are grateful for the past”
Mike Rowe
As I sit here on a rainy day in Washington thinking about where we have been and what we have achieved since we arrived in the USA back in January, which is another whole huge blog, although reflection is satisfying – I think it is timely to look ahead at the next couple of months and see what that holds for us too.
We are now heading to the West Coast of the USA and heading South!!!
Part 1 of the trip is across to the coast and Anacortes Peninsula and the San Juan Islands, then to the Olympic National Park and down the coast of Washington and into Oregon.
Transit down the whole West Coast of Oregon and into the top of California. Following the highway down the California Coast and duck inland to Napa Valley for a few nights.

Part 2 is Napa Valley to Monterey and then down the California Coast via Big Sur and Santa Barbara area. We then head inland to do Death Valley and Joshua Tree – staying and visiting with friends we have met on the road!!! Getting very excited….
Then off to Mojave Desert and onto Las Vegas for Bert’s birthday celebrations and more friend catch ups.

Part 3 is to travel from Las Vegas, Nevada via Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, meeting some new friends in Fredericksburg TX for a few days – counting down to this wonderful catch up.
Back to Houston for Christmas and more adventures with some wonderful friends coming to visit us for our “Southern Road Trip” – but again that is another huge blog.

These 3 parts will be approximately 3000 miles (4800 kms) and will take us 98 days (14 weeks).
This will close the circle of
- Our first year on the road
- Houston to Alaska and back again
Hope you can come along on this next part of our journey, and will be blogging and videoing our trip.

Hopefully you will be getting back to California to see the Sierras, Yosemite, Sequoia, Tahoe. So much to see!

Planning on getting there mid Sept next year! Too cold this year as we won’t get there until November.
