The Last Week in the USA

SO…I’m counting down the hours now until I can bored my plane from LA. Now seems like as good a time as any to just give you all a general idea what I’ve been doing in my last American week for a few months.

Matt and I left on a week ago Saturday from home to embark on our week long trip to Tucson, AZ. We kind of sprinted out of the gates so we could spend more time in more foreign parts of the country. Instead of just listing place names and brief descriptions I’ll try and just post some pictures of everything we saw. There was always a picture to be taken on this trip. A lot of different landscapes and views. I’ll just list places names in chronological order and if you want to find out more ask me or google. Hopefully the pictures will go up chronologically too.

So here are the places explored:

Delaware Water Gap
Shenandoah National Park
Nashville, TN
Graceland
The Big Texas Steak Ranch (home of the 72oz steak challenge)
Cadillac Ranch
Palo Duro Canyon
White Sands National Monument
Chiricahua National Monument
Bisbee, AZ
Tombstone, AZ

Those were just the major highlights. We did a lot of great eating and driving. Matt did a great job driving all 3,000 or so miles. Check out the pictures once I figure out how to load them.

After I left Arizona, I flew to LA for a few days visiting friends who go to school out here. Life would have been very different I went to school out here. Pretty much have just been hanging out here. The one adventure worth noting, I got the chance to go to Disneyland and while we were there Thunder Mountain stopped and we had to wait 10 minutes for a “guide” to come get us and take us on a “hike”. Never happened to me.

All and all, my last week here has been a good last impression of home. I’m definitely going to miss it here and only now, 7 hours before my flight, is it hitting me I’m actually going. Very very excited to get to New Zealand. Next post will be once I’m settled.

So until then here's the link to my pictures.
