What to see between Washington DC and Niagara Falls

June 29, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Both Washington DC and the Niagara Falls are usually must-sees for the East Coast of the US. The problem with going to both of these places is in choosing what to see en-route from DC to Niagara or vice versa, which is almost 8 hours apart by car. For my trip I have chosen to … [Read more…]

Strategy for visiting attractions in Washington DC

June 28, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

The main attractions in DC are all clustered around the National Mall. Perhaps there are buses that allow you to hop on and off the attractions, I’m not sure, but otherwise, you’re in for an exhausting workout on foot. While we were there, the scorching sun made things infinitely worse. It takes more than 45 … [Read more…]

For most people, a tour of the west coast starts with San Francisco and ends at the Grand Canyon or Las Vegas.

USA West Coast

June 9, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Probably all tours to the west coast of the USA will include San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Grand Canyon in the itinerary. The typical must-sees are found in these places and they are within reasonable reach of each other by car. My trip starts with San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge is the … [Read more…]

Another mission impossible trip

May 7, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Going on a trip on 20 May. This is the longest trip i will embark on yet, both in duration and distance. It probably looks impossibly crazy or even silly to some. Country count: 4 (which is little compared to the usual 9 or 10 countries i do for each Europe trip). Duration: 39 days … [Read more…]
