50 Days on Earth

On Wednesday 26th July 2006, I leave my job, mortgage and other adult responsibities many 33 year old women have and travel around the world at a startling speed covering Hong Kong > Malaysia > Brisbane > Gold Coast > Sydney > Californian Coast (Santa Rosa, Yosemite, Carmel and San Francisco)> Toronto back to my responsibilities but hopefully with a completely different outlook.

Yes, I know the way to Santa Rosa

After breakfast in a great 50s diner, playing the sounds of Johnny Cash and having a chat with some of the locals, I got back in the car.

After driving the wrong way down a one-way street, up and down the steep slopes of San Francisco (the handbreak was used most of the time), crossing 'The Golden Gate Bridge' (stunning), I was in Santa Rosa within an hour..

The car rules here and despite the lack of pavement, I walked. I'm off to the Napa Valley on a wine tour tomorrow and getting some energy for some great walks in Yosemite on Monday.

Shame about your smellies..only buy cheap stuff from now. They will soon stop all this when a 12 hour flight smells like last weeks dirty washing.
I have enjoyed your blog so much. It's my end of the day treat at work.
Keep safe and remember the yanks do it on the other side.
