USA in May


It’s just 10 days now until I leave to travel to California and New York again.  And I can’t wait!   It’s not so much about the destination anymore…  I just like going on vacations overseas…  anywhere!    I’m sure I will be beating myself up again once I wake up with 4 hours still to go on one of those long hauls across the Pacific Ocean.    The photo above was taken around this time last year as I waited amongst the masses at LAX for my flight to Melbourne.   This trip will give me 6 days in San Francisco and 6 days in New York.   I hope it is nice and warm by the time I get there.

Trip Planning


I love the Qantas 747 but on the next trip to the USA in May I will actually get to fly on the Qantas A380 for the first time.   This will be QF94 from LAX to Melbourne.  I actually paid a little more to get onto this flight.   The other flights are all on Qantas 747s and an American Airlines 767.  The routing is:
Melbourne – Sydney – San Francisco – New York – Los Angeles – Melbourne
I will be staying for 6 nights in San Francisco and another 6 nights in New York.   Can’t wait!

All Booked for the USA!

Well this is very exciting news.   I have been holding off talking about this until all the bookings were actually made.   The last time I tried to book a trip to the US this close to the departure date it all fell apart because I could not get all the bookings I wanted.
I’ve booked to travel to San Francisco 7th May and New York 13th May.   I’m staying at the guesthouses where I stayed on previous trips.   They both have a really nice feel about them.   And since I am travelling alone it’s always nice to meet other travellers which rarely happens in a big hotel.   Both cities are very exciting and I have friends in both places.   It will be my 8th visits to San Francisco and my 5th visit to New York.
Now I’m hoping this huge collage of my previous visits to the US will load okay.  You may have to download it to see the full size.
