Frankly, I’m getting a bit bored with blogging about yet another day in San Francisco. Which nicely correlates with our own feelings at the time. It’s not that we didn’t like the city, but we were more than ready to head out. It was time to get on the road, and that was exactly what [...]

By the time we had only one month left, pretty much everything, except for the bags themselves, was ready. We had my [...]
