In the morning we were woken up by the rising sun and had a view of snow-capped Mount Rainier right from the bed. At 4,392 meters, it is the highest peak in the US state of...

With over 13,600 km², Death Valley National Park in the Mojave Desert is a massive heat trap and the driest national park in the USA. With its size, one day is not enough to...

The Marin Headlands are located north of SF at the end of the Golden Gate Bridge and were a military site until 1974. Today, it is a recreational area. You immediately escape...

For all impatient people: the Golden Gate Bridge is a bit outside of the city and will come later. I crawl to breakfast with a hangover (I guess I'll never learn) and listen to...

This day was certainly the emotional low point of my trip so far. (That's because we know each other well enough by now). It never rains but it pours - maybe I'm trying to do...

I wake up twice during the night, but at least I manage to fall back asleep until 6 o'clock. That's enough to feel somewhat fit and finally do what I have planned: write down...

I tried to wake up my fellow sleepers at 7:10 am with great enthusiasm. I made every effort to generate as much noise as possible. Shortly after we started, we found a great...

On Saturday it was finally time. Woohoo. At half past 9 in the morning, Norma, the stylist, came to our hotel room and did my makeup and hair. Marcel was able to relax and watch...

This Saturday we woke up amidst a beautiful mountain panorama. In Estes Park, we went on a horseback riding tour into the mountains. Just like real cowboys & girls. When we...

After a long and exhausting flight, we finally landed in Los Angeles. Everything went smoothly. We got our rental car and later found our accommodation. The Rose Bowl Motel...

Today we had a clear goal in mind: Relaxation! Oceanside has a beautiful beach that we didn't want to miss. After having a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast, we packed...

Watch out, because we are being watched. Aliens are among us. This is what it's all about in the town of Roswell. Graffiti on the walls, souvenir shops, even the street lamps have...

Of course, the previously planned sleep completely went out the window, the excitement and anticipation of the new experiences were too great.

After a rather short night, we set off for Lake George in the morning around 9:30. It had cooled down significantly during the night and it had also rained. So it was easier for...

Unfortunately, this night was like the first one. Noisy and uncomfortable. After having breakfast, we wanted to explore the city. To our regret, there is not much to see here in...

Our day starts with a wonderful and very delicious breakfast at 'Tweet...let's eat' Pancakes for Flo (also enough for the second breakfast) Eggs Benedict for Myki After...
