Live loose, don't lose!

*The name of Balboa park is translated by me intentionally :P

Slept almost twelve hours so it’s almost noon when left the hostel.

During my sleeping hours, Vicki had already found companion for trip to Yellow Stone NP; that is efficiency!

Woke up early, rushed to catch Greyhound and slept all the way to San Diego.

早起搭灰狗再一路睡到聖地牙哥

Slept late and didn’t go out until noon and therefore missed the guided group hike; well......google map can always lead the missing child!

混到中午才出門，沒導遊帶就靠著google map自己去尋找傳說中的好萊塢招牌！

7/22

Woke up and joined the walking tour to Beverly Hills; what we were able to see was merely the gates and tree-covered walls of mansions owned by rich people;

Despite we did see Nicolas Cage driving, I don’t see the need to pay our guide as he only talked to the guard through speaker that looks like a stone......

Slept until nine in the morning, rushing to the kitchen to make my own pancake as the free breakfast provided by the hostel.

賴床到九點多趕快煎鬆餅當早餐

Got ready within 3 mins and took the free shuttle bus by the hostel to Venice beach.

7/20

With TV, free & unlimited drinks & snacks, the ticket price of Jetblue is unbelievably low.....and one checked luggage for free!?

Now this is definitely my favorite airline!

7/19

The clouds seemed to be following us all the way from Washington State so again we have to choose the waterfall route...

In fact , Multnomah, the second tallest waterfall in the States is not bad; it’s just not that exciting after seeing so many of them for so many days.....

7/18

Wasn't able to sleep due to the snoring sound next to me but I still woke up at five o’clock in the morning to catch probably the only sunny day in our trip according to the weather forecast; I kept repeating getting off the car ->taking pictures -> returning to sleep cycle though.

被打呼聲搞到三點才睡，然後為了唯一一個早上的好天氣在五點就超早起，

7/17

Seattle, in addition to Microsoft, is also home to Boeing, the world-famous aircraft producer.

Countless planes recording the history of air industry; I even saw the test fly of Boeing 787, claimed to be the dream plane of the next generation.

7/16

We went to North Cascades National Park in the morning where the only pictures we got are mainly on waterfalls.

As cascade means waterfall, the previous fact is alright but the main problem is the gloomy weather and endless rain.

7/15

Again starting our day early as it's a play-hard tourist group!

We went to University of Washington in the morning; not really impressive except the beautiful library though.....

7/14

We went to the tide pool in the morning, expecting to see some animals carried by the tide and trapped between the rocks here.

Well, we did see some start fish, sea weed.......along with what really looks like our dinner last night.....:S

7/13

As a professional team, it makes sense that we woke up and started our journey early that we had lunch after a long drive.......it’s just 11 in the morning but I’m already hungry and "Pho", the Vietnamese noodle cuisine became our perfect lunch today!

早起趕路，11點午餐吃好吃的越南粄條，

7/12

It became a bit noisy after 4 in the morning as early fliers started checking in but actually the airport is quite a safe and comfortable place to stay even though the repeating announcement is annoying....

機場睡到四點多被吵醒再來個回籠覺，其實還蠻安全加好睡的！

7/10

Slept until 8 and started packing; much easier than I thought...... I probably forgot something but you never know until it's needed!

睡到八點起床收行李，悠閒的收完行李總覺得少了什麼不過時間到了就出門搭機吧，爸爸媽媽謝謝你們 >\\\\

Last days in Carolina garden:

6/15

Word of the day: representative; FEDEX did provide a precious lesson!

6/8

It's almost ten after I woke up and took a shower and I therefore missed the chance to farewell friends going to Niagara fall today.

起床洗完澡下樓就九點半了，於是錯過了與瀑布團道別的機會，不過跟芬蘭妹一起吃早餐也不錯。

6/7

Someone came into the room and started snoring at about 3 o’clock in the morning.....that is more than annoying and hence made me oversleep the next morning.

I successfully borrow a laptop from another Taiwanese traveler and was finally able to move the videos last night into my hard drive.

6/6

Slept until noon today, waking up with the news that South Carolina is being hit by a tornado now......hope none of my friends is playing Alice the wonderland now.....:p

After packing, Kevin and I went to a Japanese all-you-can-eat restaurant which is simply awesome considering its sushi, teriyaki.............my mouth is always watering whenever recalling this......:S
