I have been very slow to return to my blog since my last post …. we missed Caitlyn and Bryn’s wedding because my husband/travelling partner and I have been rediscovering our travel bug!
After months and months of research and planning we flew out of Australia on the 20th September … and returned on the 14th October … a touch under four weeks. We were able to combine our two week school holiday break with some long service leave … and we had an amazing time!
Philadelphia, Boston, Cape Cod, White Mountains and Acadia National Park regions, Salem, Nova Scotia [albeit only the bottom third] and the breathtakingly stunning national parks and canyons in Nevada, Utah and Arizona.
THANKING STRANGERS …. Before we left I packed a bundle of ‘thank you’ cards I had made to leave for our hosts in the B&B and Airbnb places we had included in our itinerary. I delighted in leaving a message of thanks in each unique and wonderful place we stayed.
Here are some of our highlights … please bear in mind that I have close 2000 photographs … so I think I have shown some restraint!
[bear with me as I try to work out why some of them turn when I post … they look fine in the draft … a new tech challenge for me!]
OUR FIRST LOBSTER EXPERIENCE IN THE USA … mmmlobstertime!
PROVINCETOWN, CAPE COD
ZION NATIONAL PARK
BREATHTAKING BRYCE CANYON!
SURPRISES AROUND EVERY BEND …
THE STUNNING LOWER ANTELOPE CANYON
THERE ARE A RANGE OF WARNING SIGNS WE DO NOT SEE IN AUSTRALIA … THIS IS ONE!
and while driving, instead of seeing kangaroo, koala, echidna, emu or cassowary road warning signs.
in the US you are more likely to see – elk, moose, beaver, bear …
[I am not sure why some images are imported upside down … bear with me while I figure it out!]
