2 Up and Overloaded…

So, if you remember, when we travelled to Yucatan we ended meeting Tim and Marisa, in Playa del Carmen, and a few days later we crossed the border to Belize together. Tim and Marisa have eventually become some of our best friends, and we have traveled along and crossed other borders through Central America together, […]

Days 17 & 18: New Mexico to Mexico

Our ride from Deming to Douglas on Wednesday morning was a short one at 2.5 hours. It wasn’t as scenic as what we had grown used to seeing so we didn’t stop as many times – just for the usual gas and water, mostly. We did have to pull over to the side of the […]

Days 15 & 16: Currency Exchange and Coffee Politics

On our final morning in Albuquerque, we started the day with a fruitless attempt at trying to change a small amount of Canadian cash that I have been carrying with me into U.S. dollars. Since I won’t be back to Canada for a while, I figured that American cash would be useful for the remaining […]

Day 14: Breaking Bad in Albuquerque

We started our first morning in Albuquerque a bit later than usual, but with the usual breakfast at Starbucks. We decided to spend the day doing a Breaking Bad tour so we looked up all the shooting locations of the show and visited the ones we wanted to see. We were successful in finding some […]

Day 13: The Road to Albuquerque

The ride from Farmington to Albuquerque was a short and scenic one at around 3 hours on the US Route 550. We made many picture stops along the way since the day was nice and the temperature remained within a tolerable range. We arrived in Albuquerque in the afternoon and relaxed a bit before going […]

Day 12: Monument Valley and Arizona to New Mexico

The ride from Flagstaff to Monument Valley was a fairly long one at around 3 hours, plus the break times. The day started out tolerably warm so we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery; however, by the time we reached our destination, it was cold and rainy.       Monument Valley is located on a Native […]

Days 9-11: Grand Canyon South

We ended up staying in Kingman for three nights so we had a couple of low-key days where we didn’t do a lot of riding other than the short trips for meals so that we could catch up on some remote work. Our first full day was almost entirely spent at a nearby Starbucks. We […]

Day 8: Nevada to Arizona and Grand Canyon West

After a good night’s sleep, we headed towards Arizona on Monday morning. The weather was still hot, but far more tolerable than the last few days; however, we still made frequent breaks along the way to cool down and hydrate. The better weather also allowed us to enjoy the beautiful landscapes we passed by and […]

Days 6 & 7: California to Nevada

We left Fremont quite late on Saturday at around 4:00 PM. Our ride was not going to be as long as the prior ones since we planned to go only as far as Bakersfield. It was a hot day and riding didn’t make things better because the air was burning hot so it was like […]

Day 5: Exploring San Francisco

Friday was the day we spent the day as tourists exploring San Franciso. We had a late start and were on the road at around noon. The weather was perfect; however, a thick mist covered the Golden Gate Bridge, so we couldn’t take any pictures of that. Instead, we took pictures of the bridge we […]
