Homeward Bound!
It had arrived: the last day of our ‘Around The World Trip’. That evening we boarded a plane in Ho Chi Minh / Saigon that took us back home to San Francisco. Bittersweet really. On the one hand we felt sad…

Sunday to Thursday, November 2 – 6, 2014 Stephen flew back to San Francisco to organize a few things. Uneventful trip, which is the best kind. Caroline stayed back in Europe.
Tuesday, July 2, 2013 Arrived back in San Francisco officially bringing Leg 1 of our trip to an end. It is good to back, even if it is only for 5 days. And the weather gods are being good to…
Tuesday, May 28, 2013 Today Sterlin got dropped off at Schumacher Cargo and Logistics for shipping to Australia. The process was extremely easy and very reasonably priced at $1,850. In preparation of arrival into Sydney, Sterlin underwent a serious cleaning…
Monday, April 29, 2014 The adventure starts with Caroline heading out from San Francisco airport to London. Only 4 bags!
We are sorting out and organizing as much of the logistics and paperwork that we can do in advance: visas, carnet de passage for the car, getting our place ready to be rented out, and lots of assorted paper work.…
We both went to Downtown Medical to get the necessary inoculations and prescriptions. Their website doesn’t look like much, but service is prompt and good. They take walk-ins but make an appointment if you can, it reduces the wait time and makes things a…
Friday, March 1, 2013 We applied for, and today got issued, 2nd US passports. It turns out it is not that difficult to get these, as long as you can give a good reason why you need it. I explained…

Sunday, May 20, 2012 We decided to drive to just north of Redding, CA, to make the most of the Annular Solar Eclipse and see the ‘Ring of Fire’. The event was the first one of its kind to be…
We went to Pinnacles National Monument to test our new ‘vacation home’: rooftent + annex + awning. Sterlin with Tent
On Friday, May 27, we set off from Emeryville around 3:45pm to start our Memorial Day weekend trip to Death Valley. We’d only decided this just over a week before and were lucky to still find accommodation in Death Valley…
We went on a day trip along the beautiful coastal Hwy 1 from San Francisco to Santa Cruz. Photos
I spent a lovely long weekend in New York with Kristin and Alison. This was Kristin’s and mine first weekend away together since she had Viggo. We stayed with Alison on The World. It was all about catching up and…
