 In March 2025 Wendy and I flew from Sydney to Los Angeles (LAX) and caught a shuttle bus, south, to San Diego.

 After a couple of days in San Diego we joined an eleven day cruise to Mexico, aboard Holland America’s ‘Zaandam’. 

You can learn about the cruise and an earlier Mexico trip by following this link: Mexico

On returning to to San Diego, we hired a car to make our way up the coast to: Santa Barbara; San Simeon; and Carmel-by-the-Sea; to San Francisco. 
We then flew to Las Vegas before returing to LA, for a few days before flying home to Sydney.
