Sweet Escape

Monday, May 26, 2008

I reached home safely yesterday!

But I'm completely in holiday mood still. It's a first and ever well-planned road trip until I couldn't believe it ended so soon. We chose to drive on historic and scenic roads instead of the one hour boring and customary flight to San Francisco.

# First Day (17/05/08)
A = Portland
B = Redwood and Crescent Beach

# Second Day (18/05/08)
C = Confusion Hill
D = San Francisco

I know what's on your mind now, but are you crazy? Of course we do not travel all the places in a day. Literately, we departed from Portland on 17th of May to Redwood and Crescent Beach. Then, spent a night in a hotel and continue our journey to Confusion Hill and San Francisco on 18th.

My essential snacks for the road trip (just show you partially).

My essential outing gadgets which I carry everywhere.

I don't think I have time to blog all my belongings and personally I don't feel easy to show everyone my intimate belongings. Anyway, I packed everything in very last minutes and only managed to have 2 hours sleep before I took off. Guess I was over exciting. I bet you can't sleep well too after witnessing my road trip to San Frans.

cards
Are you ready to join me?

cards
My hubby was sleep walking though.

cards
Present you Starbucks wake up coffee and breakfast if you're not ready yet.

cards
Although I miss Nasi Lemak and Wanton Mee, the Starbuks breakfast was quite refreshing.

Are you ready NOW?

Whatever, I'm so ready for it.

cards
I plucked some cute little flowers at one of the rest area to lighten up myself for the first 6 hours drive.

cards
I hope the beautiful flowers can distract you from my pale look and tire eyes. With only 2 hours sleep and no make-up, I couldn't request you to scroll further.

BUT...You will regret if you stop reading, I grant you.

cards
This is my first stop, Redwood National and State Parks, California.

Why did I stop by this place? For the Redwood of course. Redwood offers the world's tallest living tree, living link to the Age of Dinosaurs. Hold your jaw now! All the trees are ancient and lived more than 1000 years. They are not only OLD, but HUGE!

cards
I told you, hold your jaw!

cards
Seriously, I almost got jaw fracture. I just can't believed my eyes.

cards
Those tress are super TALL as well. Ultimately high above.

cards
Personally, I thought I was casting in the Lord of The Ring II for a second while I was surrounding by huge redwoods.

cards
By and large, it was such an irreplaceable treasure watching those huge and tall time travelers. You just couldn't imagine how bad was my jaw until you witness it with your own eyes.



P/S: Keep holding your jaw! More breathtaking updates tomorrow!
