Topic: Arsy is Back

So what did you think of our free-range asylum of a state?  have you regained sensation in your buttocks after your long drives?  details!

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: Arsy is Back

Yes, I'm back! Hello smile

Got to admit, I fell in love with California! It was amazing, awe-inspiring and everywhere I looked there were beautiful people (mostly in bikinis...). Got to the point where I didn't want to come home and the first few days back in work this week were depressing to say the least sad

Some people have asked for highlights but there were too many sad
- the weather - 42 degrees C in Vegas was hard at first, but got used to it! Water fan thingys ftw!!
- the beaches - omg the beaches!
- the scenary - Big Sur, the whole Pacific Coast Highway, Grand Canyon, Yosemite... breathtaking
- the alcohol - beer isn't great... light? what's that?! But damn do your bar people know how to pour spirits! Order a Jack and coke and you get a glass of Jack with a drop of coke smile
- the whole of Vegas
- the beautiful people - I swear everyone is a model out there?!
I could go on and on...

Although it was one of the scariest parts of the trip beforehand having never driven an automatic or on the wrong side of the road before, the driving ended up being one of the best parts! The massive open interstates and the twisty mountain roads through Yosemite and down the Pacific Coast Highway were an adventure and even the downtown traffic in LA and San Francisco we were warned about didn't end up being too bad. London traffic is much much worse!

We ended up doing 2.2k miles in the car which didn't end up being too bad on our buttocks as we split it so that we never did more than 3 hour stints each. It helped that Dollar upgraded us to the next level car which meant massive leather seats, so was uber comfortable! Downside was the car was HUGE and nothing like what we've driven before. Ended up called it the Beast smile

As you can probably tell, I could talk about it forever but don't want to bore you anymore!

We had a great time, thanks for asking. We're already planning our next trip back! Although it'll be the East Coast next time... unless I manage to win the lottery between now and then smile
