A family barbeque with
Maaike's family in the States, And I am the lucky one who gets to tag along! (Maybe
a bit dangerous for a vegetarian, but I'll take my chances!).
But one week of America ...
it just didn't seem long enough, so it was fairly fast decided to make it a
week longer and fligh to the wonderful Las Vegas, rent a car and visit Zion
Parc, Bryce Canyon and of course THE Grand Canyon. AND more importantly our trip
will end in the movie city Los Angeles!!! AND even MORE important, Maai already
promised we would go to visit the movie studio's (and now I have written
proof!).
After these two weeks we
were initially planning to fly back to our little Belgianland, but as I really
really really would like to see the Big Apple, I decided that I would make
another stop before flying home! In the thought that by doing this the price of
the flight would increase amazingly, Maaike decided not to do this and fly back
to Belgium, leaving me all by myself ... sobb sobb.
With this plan we went to
the travel agency, because - lets face it - we know nothing about booking
flights, hotels and cars. And after 15 minutes we had our flights hotels and
car booked!
En then .... it seemed that
flight price with another stop in New York wasn't all that expensive, the
difference was only 50 euro!
So Maaike started doubting,
and I didn't need a lot of persuation to pull her in ... as you only make such
a trip once in a life time!!!
And that is how it came
that Maai and I will travel through America for 3 weeks!
Maai
and Lies were looking for a nice travel destination, at first we were
planning to go to Egypt, but after a lot of looking and doubting we were
too late and a far much better idea fell out of the sky!
