US Intro After staying up most the night trying to tie up all the loose ends before we left, we boarded the 1105 BMI flight from Manchester to San Francisco via Chicago. Both sets of parents were there to see us off and there were tears from the women as we said our good-byes. The [...]
(First Journal Entry) This ride is dedicated to my father, James Louis Day, Jr. I am James Louis Day, III. We did not know each other as a father and son should, as you follow my story this will be revealed. He is in the San Francisco area and I promised myself to go see [...]
Heute hiess es, mal wieder so richtig schmerzlich fr
Scary scary Atlanta. Fiona hasn’t been feeling too well lately, getting dizzy spells and feeling sick every so often. Decided to take her to the hospital to get checked up. Unfortunatley if you don’t have private medical insurance in the USA then your screwed. I will never slag off the NHS again after this. Got [...]
Pat got up early and drove to the GG bridge, parked and ran across it both ways for his morning jog! Yea, Pat!! We bought transit passes. The cable car turnaround was at the corner of our street! We took it to China town and back. Not big Chinatown fans. Had a horrible meal here! Tried [...]

On Friday we woke up at Rick’s house, showered and puttered around until Rick had to leave for a doctor’s appointment. The appointment was in Sausalito, and at Rick’s suggestion, we went along for the ride and explored the area a little bit. Sausalito Comments! In the 60s, Sausalito was a funky little freak [...]
My last morning in Seattle – and of ‘having’ to get up early! I arose at 8am and went straight down to breakfast. I got to eat in peace today, with just Mabel and Agnes, as the others hadn’t got up. I had cereals and strawberries, which I had seen Linda prepare the day before. [...]
Well it has been exactly 26 days since I left home on July 11th. My last day in Europe was spent in Normandy and Paris. Agathe and I took a train at 7pm from Normandy to Paris, so we had a full day in Normandy. After breakfast, Agathe, Brain (her little brother), and I went [...]
