We came back yesterday afternoon. This trip was simply fantastic, amazing, awesome!! It’s really hard to describe, but as you can understand, we’re not dissapointed !

But now we are back home in Stockholm, and the pictures will come soon :)

A look at the weather

héhé I just love it :)
When we’ll be at Bodie :

when we’ll be in Yosemite Park :

this post is completely pointless, but if you could see the weather we actually have in Stockholm, you would understand why I’m so happy to see that the sun will be welcoming us ;o)

The trip

Posted by Em on August 28, 2008

First of all, I thought it would be wise to tell a bit more about the trip. We’ll go on Sunday 31st of august, 6.20AM (ouch!) and be back the 12th of September…if everything goes well :)

After a short period in San Francisco to recover from the jetlag, we will go to a ghost town: Bodie. That’s quite a long trip so we decided to book a night at a hotel nearby the Mono Lake, a few miles away from Bodie.

Then of course we will spend a day at the Yosemite National Park. This looks huge! With a lot to see, a lot to do. I guess we won’t have the time to visit everything in one day, that’s why we booked another night outside the park.

So, this is what is planned. I must say I’m not too found about planned vacations, but we’ve been told it was better to book rooms during the high season.

We will also spend a day in the Sonoma valley for some wine testing. We’ve been told it was better to go there rather than to the Napa Valley.

I’m a big fan of Jack Kerouac and Henry Miller so this trip to California wouldn’t be complete without a day at Big Sur :) This is gonna be a lovely journey along the coast road!

Then, of course, San Francisco! The Golden gate bridge, Alcatraz, the cable car,Chinatown..well it’s a long list :)

For those of you who would like to visualize a bit more :
