About this blog

July 1st Susie, Matt, Aviva, Daniel & Tom are taking off in our Minivan (appropriately named the Odyssey) for 3 months, to explore the US. Despite having lived among Americans for over 2 years, it's time for us to discover more. The south-west (New Mexico), the big (Texas), the hurricane prone (Louisiana, Florida), the original Tamworth (Nashville), the Appalachian (not on foot), the south (Georgia & SC), the east coast must-sees, NYC, Washington DC, Boston, a zip thru Canada (Montreal & Toronto)the mid-west (Chicago), some NPs/SPs (Badlands, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons), and then we say goodbye to the West Coast, which we've come to love, travelling south from Vancouver down to San Diego, via Napa of course.
