Fry's America

[dakegra]

So, Stephen Fry has finished his epic American journey.

Yes, I know he finished it *ages* ago, and is currently in Africa prodding lemurs (if his twitter stream is anything to go by), but the last episode was on telly tonight.

It reminded me, with some sadness, that we never made it north of San Francisco, or across the Golden Gate Bridge on our epic (to us) Californian trip. Which I've now realised was an entire decade ago, almost to the month.

Must go back. Really, must go back. I'd love to visit Seattle (amongst other places), Alaska looked wonderful, and Hawaii simply gorgeous.

*sigh*

And next year we're going to... Centerparcs. Down the road, relatively speaking. And North Wales, camping. Then Scotland again, which at least is in a different country.

So, USA in 2010?

There's talk of having GORGG 2010 in Scotland. (Next year's is going to by in/near NYC).

After spending this year's library money on a washing machine, telly and freezer, and having booked a trip for Glasgow next year, before remembering that I wanted to go to Redemption 09 as well, I'll be lucky to afford a trip to the USA in 2010.
Maybe 2011, though.

Scotland's a big place.

No, honestly. To us, it's huge

*ahem* Canada 2010? :D

LOL @ huge!

You've already been to California, so you should really consider Minnesota for your next U.S. trip! :)

USA *and* Mexico in 2010!

when my brother moved to London, we sort of planned to go there for our 10th anniversary (2009), but he's coming home, so probably won't happen :(

someday..

Do it.
I've always quite fancied Centerparcs but the cost seems hilariously high. No more camping for me for a bit, which is a bummer as I want to do Glasto stewarding again too. Gah.

Thanks for the warning, I shall make sure I have my anti homesickness pills at the ready when I watch the last episode.

maybe. If you're good. :-)

Seattle is very nice. My brother lives there and loves it. If you make it out there, I'll have to ask him for a list of stuff you should be sure not to miss.

I managed a 10 day visit there about 5 years ago, and enjoyed it a great deal. And it only rained once. (Mind you, I was there in Aug/Sept. which is the dry season, so to speak.)
