Laguna Seca Raceway

David McKell — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 23:41:55 +0000

I know some of you wanted me to put my car around the track, and i would have loved too, however it is not Bathurst and thus i could only view it from the sideline. They were actually packing up from a few days of moto raacing and they had pretty much everything open to allow them to pack up. So i could pretty much go anywhere, so yes there is photos of m me gong places i shouldnt be. Oh well, and i so could have gone on the track to as you can see in some photos. Decided against it, not sure why. I think because there were cranes and stuff on the track i thought best not to. Anyway here are the picturess. Again i could not be bothered sorting the blurring ones or ones pointing at nothing, so you can do that

Also most of them should be GPS marked if your interested.

End of Holiday

David McKell — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 08:12:49 +0000

Well tonight is my 2nd last night of my 2month trip around the USA and Canada. What an amazing trip it has been! Seen so many places, done so many things and met so many great people. Part of me wants to stay longer and goto places i missed like Yosemite National Park and San Dieago and go back to Vegas, but the other half of me is telling me i need a break and have a holiday from my holiday. So i will continue as planned and finish up my holiday and come back at another stage in life.

Iam currently in beautiful Monterey Bay. Havent really planned anything to do so just chillaxing.

Anyway here are some photos of my trip since Miami. When i get home i will put the rest up and try and remember some stories that go with them. Anyway peace out and see you all soon enough.

Gifts

David McKell — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 18:23:28 +0000

Ok so the whole trip I have been looking for nice things to bring back as gifts. Except I have not found anything I would class ad nice. There is so much tacky crap I could get, but I hate receiving that crap as it’s useless and just gets thrown out. So anyone who wants a gift you need to let ms know what you want ASAP cos otherwise you will get nothing! This goes for everyone. I fly to Vancouver tomorrow to do the west coast of Canada then San Fran. So not long to go now. I’d rather get no gifts then carrying around tacky shit you don’t care about. Peace out.

I look cranky in all my photos today so don’t let that bother you. Anyway pub crawl tonight then 4am departure for airport to vancouver yay.

No Internet

I am alive, we just have no Internet in the hotel here. So 2 more nights and the Internet at Washington wasn’t great either hence why I haven’t had any new posts. Also cos I have been so freaking busy? But that’s a story for another post as I don’t remember what my last post included. Actually I guess I can say that I saw chris rock, the stars of the new transformers movie when it premiered last night, felt up the wall street bulls balls visited heaps in Washington as well. Anyway iam off to the gym, have a sleep, watch a broadway musical then hit the town. Love and miss u all.

Iam in Miami Bitch!

David McKell — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 22:29:58 +0000

Well i was in Miami! Iam currently in St Augustine with pretty good wifi so i thought i would upload some pictures of Miami I took. Miami was awesome, mainly because we were there for 2 nights and we could just chill out. WE are ussually so busy and always on our feet it was fantastic just to rest up.We went for a swim in south beach, and the water is crystal clear and the temperature is perfect! Also our hotel was on the beach so just walked straight out from our hotel bar to the beach. So nice.

Anyway here is some pics of the boat ride we went on, which was okay. I kinda had higher expecations but anyway. Also a few pics of south beach.

Still alive

David McKell — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 23:28:24 +0000

Hey everyone. Just checking in as I haven’t had much time or good Internet to update much. So yea been absolutely flat out doing activities and traveling. My last post was about the grand canyon Nevada and Iam currently in Orlando Florida. So almost on the other side of America.

So I guess i will just give a quick rundown of what I have been doing.

Monument valley – just a big desert with impressive looking rock formations. It was awesome to see it and had no idea about it. It was really dusty and windy though and this caused fine dust particles to go inside my camera. It wouldn’t close properly for a few days but seems alright now but I can some rattle in it.

White (well brown) water rafting in Durango – first photo stop with the group with the rocky mountains as back drop. But also went rafting which was my first time. It was awesome! Iam finding a love for more extreme activities and I found this to be fairly tame. But awesome none the less.

Texas – not sure what to say about Texas. It was awesome but we didnt do much the first night, then we went to Dallas. Which was pretty awesome. We were there for 2 nights. The first night we had dinner in a local pub which was also the night of the 5th finals game of the NBA between Miami heat and Dallas mavericks. So the atmosphere was pretty crazy. Dallas actually won that game and everyone from all the clubs just went outside and started dancing in the street. Was an unreal experience!

Memphis – 2 nights here. Was ok I guess. Went to graceland and went through Elvis’s mansion. They have a pretty sweet night culture as well on 1 street (beal??). So went out the first night. Nothing like it back home.

New Orleans – what a crazy town. We stayed just in the French quarter but this is the main area and also where they hold mardi GRAS. We went out both nights which was Monday Tuesday, they were both pumping. People everywhere in the main street (bourbon) and live music in all the clubs/pubs. They have a few specialty drinks like the hurricane obviously after there history and the hand grenade. Both very potent and very cheap drinks. I did the optional diner boat cruise where we were on an old refurbished paddle boat that cruised up the missippi river and also an airboat ride. That was cool, airboat being one of the boats with a big fan on the back instead of a propeller. Went out and saw a hole bunch of alligators and held a baby one.

Orlando – currently here. Arrived yesterday and had a quiet night with a party down by our hotel pool. Also an amusement park next door so went on something called a slingshot that shoots you 300 feet in the air and spin around and stuff. Was pretty awesome. Then today spent all day sweating my ass off in the heat walking around universal studios. What an amazing day. The rides were so cool. Words cannot describe some of the rides. Incredible is really all I can think of.

So that’s about it. There were other places we stopped I didnt mention. Just small towns really that not much went on. Tomorrow we go to Miami and south beach, also doing a jet boat ride. Their for 2 nights the cocoa beach for 1. Really looking forward to that. Anyway must be off to collect washing and BBQ diner. Love u all and thanks for reading. No photos as I haven’t had time to prepare anything on my laptop.
