On my new blog, I naturally don't want to withhold our USA trip from you. The texts are from an older blog, so I mostly just copied and pasted things =) Have fun reading and

USA Day 2: Seattle, Oak Harbor, Deception Pass (2014-09-27)
USA Day 2: Seattle 3:30 AM, MORNING! Time for a relaxed coffee in the hotel lobby. Both feeling great and well-rested. Thanks, jet lag.
USA Day 3: Seattle, Boeing, Astoria (2014-09-28)
USA Day 3: Today we slept in. At 7 am, there was just as lavish a breakfast as the day before. Helene skipped the shabby coffee, while Dennis has already gotten used to it.
1. Agenda item: Tour of the Boeing factory in Seattle.
USA Day 4: Astoria, Lincoln City, Newport, Oregon (2014-09-29)
USA Day 4: What a wonder. There was a rich, American breakfast with lousy coffee. How do Americans do it? Our route today led us further south along the coast on Highway 101. On our way to Newport, Oregon Coast, we stopped in Lincoln City for our second outlet shopping spree.
USA Day 5: Newport, Oregon Coast Aquarium, Grants Pass (2014-09-30)
USA Day 5: Conclusion in the morning: A good hotel doesn't automatically mean a better breakfast. Also, it's already the fourth day that the intruder into the White House is being reported on TV. Boring!
USA Day 6: Grants Pass, Lassen National Forest, Greenville, California (2014-10-01)
USA Day 6: First stop after breakfast (with shabby coffee): Taco Bell! Easy to reach thanks to the numerous food exits on the highway. Convenient!
USA Day 8: Sacramento, Launderland, Jamestown (2014-10-03)
USA Day 8: After a classic breakfast with even worse, terrible coffee, we found a cozy hotel in Yosemite National Park.
USA Day 9: Jamestown, Yosemite National Park, Jamestown (2014-10-04)
USA Day 9: Refreshed after a peaceful night, we went to the old hotel saloon for breakfast. They had really delicious food and even good coffee. This tasty breakfast motivated us to stay another night. This is how travel should be.
USA Day 10: Jamestown, Railtown, San Francisco (2014-10-05)
USA Day 10: Today is about train travel. Right after breakfast, we headed to the railway museum. Jamestown is featured in many Westerns and Hollywood films.
USA Day 11: San Francisco, Sightseeing, Shopping (2014-10-06)
USA Day 11: Neither of us thought that breakfast could be made worse according to American standards. But it's actually possible. This morning there were only coffee pastries and sweet cakes. The shabby coffee was the best thing this morning. But oh well. After all, there's a Starbucks on every corner.
USA Day 12: San Francisco, Muir Woods, Golden Gate Bridge, Palo Alto (2014-10-07)
USA Day 12: Today breakfast was much better since we bought plenty the day before. Energized, we headed to Muir Woods today.,
USA Day 13: Palo Alto, Mountain View, NASA (2014-10-08)
USA Day 13: We started today with a delicious breakfast with fresh bread. Unfortunately, Helene routinely toasted it. Oh no! No, no, no! But it was still the best bread so far.
USA Day 14: Monterey, Big Sur, LA, Hollywood (2014-10-09)
USA Day 14: In the breakfast room, we noticed that we had arrived at Highway 1. Only Germans were present. So far, we had only sporadically heard or seen Germans.
USA Day 15: Hollywood, Universal City, Walk of Fame (2014-10-10)
USA Day 15: Conclusion in the morning: A very good hotel in the USA really does mean a very good breakfast, even with a cook! We are thrilled and ready for an exciting day at Universal Studios.
USA Day 16: Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, Paris, Venice (2014-10-11)
USA Day 16: Refreshed and ready, we went sightseeing in Beverly Hills. It's crazy how the rich and famous live here. In huge villas and mansions, not like us, in ordinary houses and... READ MORE
USA Day 17: Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Twin Arrows, Navajo Indians (2014-10-12)
USA Day 17: After a bad standard breakfast with shabby coffee (we've finally returned to normal), we drove back to
USA Tag 18: Twin Arrows Navajo Resort, Hotel (2014-10-13)
USA Tag 18: Nach einem leckeren Frühstück mit wirklich gutem Kaffee, stand heute ein Ruhetag an. Und so verbrachten wir den Tag in unserer Suite und liessen uns vom Zimmerservice verwöhnen.
