Hello from the US!

[HardcoreDragonsFan]

So so who remembered me? Tacky and lean talking guy!

Anyways, I still have not been outside of Utah yet, BUT in two weeks time I will finish my ski job, and then I head out! I'm going to do a rarest trip of all, to take a very long three months trip around the US from the east, west, south and north! I will travel to about 30 states, 145 cities, over 20 freeway systems, 4.5million traffic lights and a few tornado producing thunderstorms across the mid-west.

The following cities I will visit with my friend from Sydney via our 4W4 truck:
Las Vegas Nevada, Grand Canyon Arizona, Albuquerque New Mexico, Denver Colorado, Kansas City Kansas/Missouri, Des Moines Iowa, Minneapolis Minnesota, Madison Wisconsin, Chicago Illinois, St Louis Missouri, Memphis and Nashville Tennessee, Great Smoky Mountains North Carolina/Tennessee border region, Asheville/Greensboro/Raleigh/Durham North Carolina, Richmond Virginia, Washington DC, New York City area.

Then into two leg of the trip I split up with him going via a bus tour group:
NYC, Washington DC, Raleigh and Wilmington North Carolina, Charleston South Carolina, Savannah Georgia, St Augustine/Miami/Orlando/Key West/Tallahassee/Panama City Beach Florida, Mobile Alabama, New Orleans Louisiana, Houston/Austin/San Antonio/Carlsbad NP Texas, Albuquerque New Mexico, Colorado Rockies, Moab/Lake Powell Utah, Grand Canyon Arizona, Las Vegas Nevada, Serra Nevada, San Diego/Los Angeles/Huntington Beach/Hollywood California.

I be going back home by 12th of July. Yes that is a very long trip. Here a single photo about best part of being in Park City, Utah.

It sounds like you've been having a great time over there with a massive adventure coming up.

Crikey, 145 cities in 90 days? Will you ever be out of the car?

Crikey, 145 cities in 90 days? Will you ever be out of the car?

YES of course I do. However, probably about half of them are like smaller cities in between destinations of major cities. For example: Springville, Illinois on the way to St Louis from Chicago. I still have to get out of the car for a rest, unexpected sightseeing at some great places. Just note that route 66 is on the way to St Louis though! Tennessee to North Carolina looks great! In DC and NYC, we probably be more likely on a foot than a car!

Can't wait to see Las Vegas and the great St Louis arch! I can't believe so many cities in the US with awesome skyline like size of Adelaide, Gold Coast, Melbourne and that etc. Surely the US is in top 3 largest country in the world!

I skied. Unfortunately, I ended it a month ago because of fingers is fractured from a fall. And got sick of people not yielding my way on the slopes! I hate those hotshots, whose don't care about the others. I had a couple arguments with some skiers and snowboarders a few times about their behaviour on the slopes while I was there at the situation. I work at PCMR and I told them it is not honorable for their behaviour while being on the slopes. Seriously, being on the slopes is like worse than Russian freeways.....

Working holiday visa, you must be a student of either university or TAFE to be part of this. Winter has finished now, but still plenty snow on the base at PCMR with 12 days left to the closing of the resort. Days recently has been really like spring. Wore a t shirt and shorts in 13C day time temperatures. Going back home in Australia during July, under 20C winter days is hot summer for me jaja!!
