West Coast USA 2008

In and around California, United States

After having to return home unexpectedly to NZ after just getting started on our Europe Trip last year, we are returning to Europe via the US to try again in 2008. We are having a 13 day stopover in California on the way, meeting up with Imelda's sister Nicole and her partner Jay who have flown down from Toronto.
