We have arrived in beautiful California.<br />It started on <strong>July 12</strong> getting though the border no problem, beautiful weather to Illinois.<br /><strong>July 13</strong> we started off in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">moline</span>, Illinois and made our way to Nebraska.<br />Drove through lots of Valleys, ended up going to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Walmart</span> in a small cute town. Felt really good about the trip so far, and was looking forward to the next few days.<br /><strong>July 14</strong> Nebraska to Utah was one of the best drives so far, we seen some amazing mountains and drove through our first <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">tunnel</span>. (really cool). We ended up getting up to 8000ft in elevation, so you can <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">imagine</span> our ears popped <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span>.<br /><strong>July 15 </strong>Utah to California was a really cool but interesting ride, we went through the rest of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Utah</span>. It was very flat and hills in the distance, someone said to me "its like driving on Mars" <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">sooo</span> true. Once we got though <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Reno</span> and into the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">mountains</span> of California, that was the best most beautiful drive we have been on in this trip.<br />Long but we got here and the emotions were running high but we still managed to push threw the chaos.<br />Now we are in our hotel for the next two weeks in Emeryville.<br /><br />We have walked around <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Emeryville</span> some what but this town seems to be very industrial and not a place id like to live (besides the beautiful scenery).<br />We had someone take us through <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">oakland</span>, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">berkeley</span> and some little nice areas and I was very pleased and surprised at how nice Oakland was. Being that all I heard was bad things about it, we are meeting with a realtor tomorrow and they are going to take us to some apartments to look at in those areas.<br /><br />Im feeling alot better about all this :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxJm-GRsoISxWLR37IKflHiyADL72m1gfixNiC1zmOr0vVzgKUqsMWefNtBOu0T8C63yLVTC86X_2OwA_fwfg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124481967821510091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208419979764752989.post-20371123781716853862011-07-11T09:20:00.000-07:002011-07-11T09:29:39.082-07:00The journey beginsSo it has started...<br /><br /><br />We travelled from Mississauga to Windsor for a short trip to visit family and friends.<br />Tomorrow morning(July 13,2011) we will be leaving early to exit the country and start the trek into the united states.<br />We have a few stops...<br />First one being in Illinois, then Nebraska, Salt lake city, and finally our destination of The beautiful San Francisco.<br />This is alittle scary for me and I keep having butterflies thinking about what could happen and what will happen.<br />But a large part of me is Getting Very Very excited to start a new fresh life in a new place with new people.<br />We will be stopping in interesting places but would like ideas of places you have been to in those states and maybe we will try and visit Etc; Resturants, cool parks, touristy things....<br /><br />I will keep you posted with pics and hopefully some video.<br /><br />Talk soon<br /><br />KarenKarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124481967821510091noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208419979764752989.post-75968899548736674452011-06-15T09:09:00.000-07:002011-06-15T11:45:59.868-07:00First Post :)Hello fellow <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">bloggers</span><br /><br />This is the first of many post I will do.<br />My Journey will start with my husband in July driving from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Missisauga</span>, Ont to San <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Francisco</span> California, this will hopefully take us 4 days but <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">thats</span> if <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">everything</span> goes well.<br /><br />I will be posting Videos and Photos of our travels and once I arrive in San Fran I will post anything and everything I encounter.
