US Coast-to-Coast 2001 and Coast-to-Coast-andback 2006
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2015 6:43 am
I appreciate that 99% of members are in North America so you might be interested in two trips I made in 2001 and 2006. I also visited the US in 1999 to see my daughter who then lived in Silver Spring MD as an au pair (nanny).
When I have a bit of time, I'll sit down write a more detailed account - the original online journal was lost in the stratosphere - but at least I still have the photos. I flew my ST1100 by air from Gatwick (UK) to Vancouver, rode down the Pacific Highway to Nogales on the Mexican border before swinging up and across to New York and Toronto. I went with my 19yr old niece Penny and for both of us it was a Trip of a Lifetime.
I returned to North America, alone, in 2006, but this time intended to take three months. Deep joy! The Pan was sent by sea from Southampton and I flew out to Newark a few days later and stayed with a friend. I then rode across the US to California, turned around and returned to NJ. 17,000 miles, three months, utterly wonderful crossing my favourite country and favourite people.
Anyway I shall write more soon.
