2011-03-28: Next adventure - USA and Barbados

We have temporarily given up our plans to buy a boat. The development around the Mediterranean sea has forced us to postpone any purchase at least in that geographic area. Our plan would have been to sail the Med for a while, and then go through the Suez channel. The unrest in many countries in combination with escalating piracy in the area south of Suez has made us think twice. At least one US and one Danish sailing ship has been subject to piracy during the last couple of months.
We probably need to start looking for boats in other areas, but that will be earliest this autumn.

We have decided to make one of our dream trips, and booked tickets to spend 7 weeks abroad - 5 weeks in USA and 2 weeks in Barbados. If we have a chance we will try sail in Barbados, but nothing yet decided.

During our time in USA we have rented a mobile home, and have made a huge list of places we want to see:

California:

• Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park
• Yosemite National Park
• San Fransisco
• Los Angeles

Wyoming

New Mexico

   We will start our trip in Denver, Colorado and it will probably look a bit like this:
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  We are of course very grateful for any suggestions about places to visit and things to see.
