Compacting a few days into one, and finally I am up to date until tomorrow. The days in Timisoara are being spent getting for the upcoming wedding this Sunday.

Toronto - Vienna - Timisoara (Day 13)
26 August 06 06:41 AM
Can I start another entry with the last day in city <fill in the name please>? It did start in the morning, this time I managed to leave the alarm clock button on the musical alarm and the music was much better to wake up to than the loud beep beep

Toronto (Day 12)
25 August 06 09:54 AM
Ventured on a city and harbour tour of Toronto ; best way to get acquainted with each new city in such a short period of time. The guide on the city tour didn’t have as many jokes up his sleeve (or was it me being tired) but at one stage it was hard to

Brentford - Toronto (Day 11)
25 August 06 09:46 AM
It was time to move onwards from Brentford to Toronto to see what the city had to offer. It was impossible to arrive and depart from that airport and not see Toronto , what would I say if people asked me how Toronto was? A hotel was booked in the heart

Brentford (Day 10)
25 August 06 09:25 AM
During the short traveling time I began to wonder if rain will befall the trip. Yes it did, rain on the Saturday; the day designated to visit Niagara Falls . The schedule was not changed and the view of Niagara Falls through changing weather conditions

Brentford (Day 9)
25 August 06 09:16 AM
Brentford is a small city which brought me closer to nature. I was able to watch chipmunks (large, small, brown, and black) feeding on roasted hazelnuts that morning in the backyard. The afternoon consisted of a drive around Brantford and the surrounding

Phoenix - Toronto (Day 8)
24 August 06 04:21 AM
Thankfully the flight from Phoenix to Toronto was with a different company and the service was great. They had the on demand system and I watched the movies that I wanted to watch when I wanted to watch them. The plane landed in Toronto around 9m and

Phoenix (Day 7)
24 August 06 04:17 AM
More relaxation by the swimming pool with a visit to Saguaro Lake and an American Restaurant (after the night before I was scared to order). This time I ordered a combination of a cup of soup and a half club sandwich. The soup was excellent and the half

Phoenix (Day 6)
24 August 06 04:08 AM
After all the time in Las Vegas the day back in Phoenix was used for sightseeing, shopping (bought two tops for $2.99 US each, bargain!), and going out for a very large dinner at a Mexican restaurant. The serving was absolutely extreme and I did not eat

Las Vegas (Day 5)
16 August 06 05:02 PM
I left the curtains partially open and daylight woke me up before 9am . I jumped out of bed, got dressed and zoomed off to the swimming pool. I was not going to miss another opportunity of swimming; I would gladly go to Las Vegas again only to spend the

Las Vegas (Day 4)
16 August 06 04:27 PM
Early wake up at 4.15am to depart for Las Vegas . This resulted in me sleeping in the car on and off from car stop to car stop (petrol station, Joshua forest, Hoover Dam). Hoover Dam, impressive, aqua waters, 40 pound fish (as claimed by two men looking

Phoenix (Day 3)
16 August 06 04:24 PM
This was a day of rest, sleeping until 11am and then lounging in the swimming pool after the delicious lunch (with mohito in hand). I absolutely love water, got a little pink from getting sunshine but that should turn to brown in a day or two.

San Francisco (Day 2)
16 August 06 03:52 PM
Morning came, ate too much at the continental breakfast (eggs, bacon, some sort of hash brown that I didn't like and left behind, pancakes, porridge, bread and jam, fruit salad, corn flakes with milk from cows that did not contain any growth hormone).

San Francisco (Day 1)
16 August 06 03:22 PM
The adventure began on Thursday at 2.40pm when the flight from Sydney to San Francisco was due to depart. The minutes before the flight I rang and sms'd some of my closest friends for a final goodbye (after how wonderful they have been to me throwing

Last night in Sydney
16 August 06 03:03 PM
The last night in Sydney, a Wednesday it was, was spent packing the many items needed for my new life abroad into the middle suitcase of the red Samsonite family. The realisation came too late that the largest member of the Samsonite family was better
