Category: World Trip 2009

A 52-day trip covering five countires; USA, Egypt, England, Belgium and Australia between 22 May 2009 and 12 July 2009

  • Friday 5 June 2009 and Saturday 6 June 2009 Highlights: Empty seat on flight to Cairo After having a second shower at the Heathrow London Airport (in Terminal 5 B) I happily boarded my British Airway flight to Cairo, Egypt hoping everything will work out regarding the hotel and transfer.

  • Facebook Photos Well the first part of this world trip is over. For the past 14 days I’ve been accompanying my mum around California and Nevada. The quick stats: 7927 miles (12730 kms) flying Melbourne to Los Angeles 1799 miles (2895 kms) driving LA to San Francisco to Las Vegas to San Diego to LA)…

  • Thursday 4 June 2009 Highlights: Avoiding car rental damage charges The day started really well when I found out I didn’t have to pay extra for the damage to the car from the Vegas accident.  We got to the airport very early, I actually left mum twice (we were in different terminals) coming back since…

  • Wednesday 3 June 2009 Highlights: Venice Beach, Citadel Shopping An overcast day for my last full day in America. We headed off for Venice Beach hoping to scout a way to the airport for tomorrow, which by accident I found (US Freeways are weird; you consistently get pushed off them if you don’t pay attention).

  • Tuesday 2 June 2009 Highlights: Great fun at Knott’s Berry Farm A very cool day. Originally we had Universal Studios on the agenda but I’ll be back to see that in January with Andrew, plus Knott’s had a very good senior discount so my mum was happy to give them a go.
