I'm gonna miss BT for couple of 3 weeks. Will be off for a holliday in the USA.
My whole family is very exited. But most of you are used to the USA I guess. So if you see a guy that looks vaguely familiar, with a bunch of kids, driving in a RV through CA, AZ, NV, UT or NE it will be me.

Have fun, Bob!! Are you trying to go diving in between watching the kids and other vacation stuff??

It's going to be a long trip (5000 km?). There are so many things to see. So no diving I guess, although my oldest daughter is certified.

AND I'm a warm water T-shirt diver :-)

So, it's DRIVE in stead of DIVE

Have a wonderful trip Bob!

Have a safe and happy trip!

The internet burped. Excusez:

5000 km = 3100 miles. That's not so bad. LOL From MA to CA in a car full of kids. As my homeboy Seuss would say: Oh the places you'll see!

Hi Bob,

Have a great trip and enjoy yourself.

Stop at a Starbucks for some coffee one day.

Being a Tee shirt diver, Don't go in the water on the left coast. It is COLD. (As a warn water wuss, I will never see growing kelp.)

Wish you would be able to join me in 2 weeks in the Florida Keys for some Tee shirt diving.

Nice pic's rusty :-)

I just finished the manual for our home.
Some people from spain are going to look after our house when we're gone.

Must try to find some people in Bonaire who want to change houses and cars next year.
Or some people in the US who have a house in Bonaire and want to exchange with Holland.

Now I have to finish packing. Plane leaves in about 15 hours.

Three weeks to see the left coast, not really enough time. You should be able to see a good chunk of it. That sounds like a wonderful trip. One piece of advice minimize your time around LA and Vegas, any direction from there is so much nicer. Spend some time in the desert, it's good for the soul and it's beauty grows with time. Don't miss Yellowstone/Grand Tetons (by dawn for best photos), Yosemite, Grand Canyon and Zion.

I will avoid LA. Maybe visit universal studio's.
San Diego seems nice. Probably I'll stay there a couple of days.
In Las Vegas we'll spent one evening to see "the lights".
We will visit Grand Canyon and Yosemity. Stay in SFO a couple of days and enjoy the ride along the coast.
You're right, it's a big country and little time :-)
The rest will depend on the kids.

Area 51 might be intriguing.

Have a wonderful trip, Bob! Take lots of pictures to share with us when you return. The coastline is breathtaking. As are all of the places folks have listed here. Bon Voyage!! Carole
