Antioch, California

We're very lucky to have had a week long stay with Beth's family in Antioch, California. They have a beautiful home with a stunning view of rolling hills. We felt home already, thanks to the scenery but mostly thanks to our fabulous hosts :)

We were treated to a limo tour of the Napa Valley:

Thanks to the Dalrington's of Antioch, for a wonderful week of relaxing, fun and great food and drink. Wish the you were just a drive away but I'm sure we'll be back regardless :) Try flickr for more photos.

Hollywood

The centre of America's entertainment, Hollywood California.

Just a few shots from our stay here, we also made it to Santa Monica but those photos will have to wait. More space in LA, still crazy though.

We stayed right near the Walk Of Fame:

The Chinese Theatre is awesome! Heaps of greetings from stars of old:

Couldn't resist:

New York, New York

New York is easily as good as anywhere I've ever been :) We had a ball wandering around Manhattan, visiting all the iconic sights in somewhat cooler weather than we'd left in London.
