The first intention of this trip would be visitting my dad, who lives in Lacey, WA since a couple of years and I haven't been able to visit him until now. The opportunity finally arrised early this year, so USA here I come!

Of course, being far away from home, just staying at my dads place wouldn't make too much sense. And as travelling surely is a big passion of mine, I'll be getting around quite a bit!

The trip starts in Vancouver, as it was a lot cheaper to fly there instead of Seattle. Since I wanted to travel up into BC anyways, it would even be better to fly back from Vancouver!

Here we go.
