This October my childhood dream of traveling to Florida finally came true! We had 8 days to get the most out of our trip! Me and my Dad arrived in Orlando where our journey started. After all the security checks and picking up our rental car we immediately drove 40 minutes East to Cape Canaveral…
This May Seb and I flew to Boston to attend the wedding of my American sister Colleen. Since the date was set way ahead of time, I had plenty of time to score a cheap flight and pick out the perfect dress to wear. The location was at the ski resort Sunday River in Maine,…
My return flight back to Amsterdam I had the option of a 24 hour layover in Chicago. Since I’ve never been to this city I thought this would be a good opportunity to visit. What to do for a full day in Chicago? I arrived at O’hare airport at 6.30 PM and took the elevated…
The purpose of my trip to the United States was to visit my host family. But my American sister Colleen has bought her own condo in Lowell, Massachusetts where I could stay. Lowell is 50km North of Boston with a direct train connection to the city. First time riding a train in the United States…
Three weeks ago I spontaneously planned a trip to the USA, wanting to surprise my host family in Maine. What, a host family? Yes, when I was 16 I stayed abroad in the USA to attend one year of high school. A host family in Maine took me under their wings and during this time…
The holiday slowly is coming to an end. The last National Park of the tour was the Grand Canyon. We had a nice view point just in front of our hotel to get some photos at sunset. The next morning I took a helicopter tour over the canyon. Wow, what an amazing views. I sat…
The photography tour for Upper Antelope Canyon started at 10.30 am. I had to reserve for this tour months in advance because of its popularity. Our guide Rob took us into the Canyon and showed us the sweets spots, where to stand and hold up other groups so we could take pictures of the light…
We took a break from the whole National Park tour and went rafting on the Colorado river. I’ve been whitewater rafting before 10 years ago in Maine and although the water wasn’t as wild as last time it still was lots of fun. Between the easy rafting on the low water we did have some…
From Bryce we drove route 12 to Capitol Reef. A scenic route that showed all the lovely autumn colors. Arriving at Capitol Reef we first stopped for breakfast/lunch. This was the first time my mom ate at Subway. She said “If there is no Denny’s, Subway is good too.” (Backbground info: we’ve gotten to be…
Finally a relaxing day here at Bryce Canyon. We didn’t have any driving to do and all the view points were accessible from the parking areas. We arrived last night to enjoy the sunset over the Amphitheater. This picture I made today of the Natural Bridge.
