Hi all from the US of A! We made it in one piece even after our full body frisk in New Zealand, we weren't even wearing any woolen clothing. Stu and Kym picked us up at LAX and then Stu introduced us to highway driving 'gang banga' style.... not cool. The weirdest thing we discovered about it was looking into all the cars and seeing them being driven by the passenger! All the cars speed and crossing the road is nearly more scary than driving because cars come at you in all directions!
The marina where we are staying is massive. There are about 4000 yachts here. Some people live on their yachts but other people never take their yachts out on the water. They just use it to have drinks with their friends, "cocktails on the yacht"!
There are so many dogs here. Every day you see heaps of dogs being walked. Some even live on the yachts. There are nearly more pet shops than supermarkets.
Alcohol is so cheap here. Nearly cheaper than water! A 2 litre container of gin is $17! The bottles are so big they have grip holes in the sides so you can pick it up!
We ordered our wet weather gear today. It should arrive on Friday.
We hope to go to San Fransisco later in the week. Tomorrow Bruce and I are going to a big outdoor shop called Bass Pro. Look it up if you can. Bruce is going to get fishing gear and weapons ready for the trip. He will be in Bruce heaven!
Till next time xxx

  1. Hey guys, glad to hear you arrived safe and well, although a little violated by the Kiwis. You'll be glad to know that the house is still standing and Jill and Helen are getting along well. Helen asked me to let you know that a parcel arrived from Target today, do you need it forwarded to you or just put aside with the rest of the mail? Melina loves school, so much so she didn't want to leave today. Adrian got the airport job and starting the begining of May when he has to go to Canberra for 6 weeks training. Erin and I are much the same as when you left. Anyway enough now, keep up the blogs, can't wait to hear how Bruce goes in "heaven" tomorrow.
    Love The Ayers'
