2006-07 California & Nevada : A driving holiday over Christmas and New Year visiting Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco and places in between. We landed in LA on 24 December, spent Christmas Day in Disneyland, headed to Las Vegas, then San Francisco via Death Valley to see friends, and back to LA driving along Highway 1, the Pacific Ocean coast highway. We had about two weeks in total. Disneyland and DisneyWorld are manufactured experiences to some extent, and we had been to both before, but they are fun, so one more trip was in order. Las Vegas and Death Valley were new, and from them emerged the realisation that nature is probably more important than cities for me. Las Vegas is hugely popular but it must be one of the strangest places on earth as well - as least Las Vegas Boulevard. A theme park of a different nature, with a side that's not quite as innocent as the Disney experience. Death Valley was fascinating and here the power of nature is clear. San Francisco is familiar territory, and we've driven the coast highway before, but somehow both were still new. A lot of driving, probably too much, but a good time was had.

2006 New York and Boston : A flying trip to New York and Boston in January 2006. Not much time to spend there, but it was a fun trip. We spent time at Harvard, wandering the university and the surrounding museums, and had four days in New York. It snowed which made it great fun for us, as we took in some sights and some museums.

2004 Alaska : We headed to Alaska in 2004 to go on a long awaited cruise (for me) and hike (for Alan). A great holiday that combined some communing with nature in the mountains around Talkeetna and a 5 star cruise from Seward to Vancouver via the Inside Passage. Alaska is very different and well worth the visit.

1997 USA : A family holiday to take in DisneyWorld, Gettysberg, Washington DC and to catch up with friends in Boston. The trip to DisneyWorld was researched to the nth degree, but it paid off, as we had a great time and made the best use of our time.

1984-1986 USA Sights : We lived in the USA for two years near Berkeley in California. These are photos taken during our travels over those two years. The photos are scanned, so the quality in some of them isn't that great. There's more to come, so stay tuned.
