Back in Blighty again.

We flew back to the UK on a pleasant Saturday lunchtime flight to Manchester followed by a train back to Guiseley to pick up Lynns brothers car. We have just 2 weeks to catch up on folks and get ready for our big adventure for the summer, 2 months on the north west Pacific coast of the USA. The usual 2 weeks of dashing here and there tied up with last minute shopping and packing for the USA. It was a busy time and seemed to fly by. I think by the end of it we felt we were ready for the off with everything we needed for the the trip. The only problem was baggage weight. As we were camping in most places we had a case full of camping gear so we didn’t get many clothes in!


Our trip was taking us to Seattle from Amsterdam where we had a night in a motel before picking up a hire car the following day and heading south down highway 101 the Paific coast highway. We have a few stops planned along the way and the turn around point was San Francisco. After afew days here we were heading inland to Yosemite and then heading back north to Seattle via some State Parks along the way. A night in Seattle, then the train up to Vancouver in Canada where we pick up another car for a couple of weeks before getting the train back to Seattle, to see Seattle this time before the flight back to the UK. Well that’s the plan, I’ll try to keep up with the trip and report back along the way.
