Hi friends and family.
Well, today is the 14th which means it has been exactly one month since we were waved off at the airport by our wonderful families and two special friends, Anni and Maddi. We are thankful for Skype and the internet in general which means we can communicate easily from the other side of the world. So far we've been to New York, New Jersey and Portland, Oregon (and surrounds). Check our our tabs for some New York and Oregon highlights!
I'm writing this from a small motel room in Lincoln City which is on the Oregon Coast. A couple of things went wrong today, but we're taking them in our stride. To elaborate, here are the problems we've encountered today and what we're doing about them:
We're pretty excited to be on the 101 and heading South... as they say "Driving down the 101, California here we come..."
That's going to be stuck in your head all day now, sorry!
Anyway, hope you're having a lovely day. Have you come across any setbacks and had to take them in your stride? Do you have any questions about getting around the Oregon Coast? Leave us a comment below!

I'm writing this from a small motel room in Lincoln City which is on the Oregon Coast. A couple of things went wrong today, but we're taking them in our stride. To elaborate, here are the problems we've encountered today and what we're doing about them:
- We had a ride organised for today in a camper down the 101 which fell through at the last minute. We took a bus to the 101 instead and will be trying to get another ride tomorrow.
- Our 2 week house sit in New York has been reduced to one, or possibly cancelled as the couple were going to the Philippines which has been hit by the typhoon. They're scrambling to book a holiday somewhere else for a week. So we're considering making our way across the US by land given that we have more time now to get back to NY.
- Rain! We bought a lightweight tent this morning in case of being stranded somewhere, but are hoping not to have to use it in rainy, cold conditions as we don't have sleeping mats or bags! As it's drizzling and cold today, we've checked into the cheapest room we could find!
We're pretty excited to be on the 101 and heading South... as they say "Driving down the 101, California here we come..."
