Hi. My family and I are coming from the UK to Las Vegas for my wedding in August 2010. We're spending a week in Vegas and then we have two weeks left to play with. We're thinking of getting our return flight back from Seattle so we need to drive from Vegas, through LA to San Francisco. (all places...

Una vez más estamos en temporada de incendios forestales en California. Ya ha habido más de dos mil incendios en varias partes del estado.

Once again, it is the season for wildfires in California. There have already been more than two thousand wildfires in various parts of the state. The most recent ones are located near Santa Clara and the Silicon Valley area just south of San Francisco. The Coastal Mountains of California are not as high...

We've never driven in winter condition and am debating whether it's safer to skip the self-drive mode of moving around. Will appreciate any suggestion / comment. Thank...

It looked like a nice day when I left Cambria, CA on my way up to Big Sur. I was a little nervous because recent rain had triggered some bad mudslides along the coast. They had to close the highway several times the day before and all the dirt roads were muddy pits. It was supposed to rain again that...

After leaving Santa Barbara in a rush, the rest of the day went great. I headed up highway 101 through Buellton, CA "The Home of the Original Split Pea Soup". It was a little early to try the soup, but I did notice this: Then I drove across highway 34 through the Central California wine country...

Packing is one of my least favorite things to do. I don't own many things, and certainly not many big things - no furniture, no television, no bicycle (I sold my old one back in LA). Somehow, though, every time I move it's harder to pack everything into my car. This time, I was forced to leave...
