We meet again Sweden

Hi. We woke up really early today, 4.30 am to be exact, and headed to the airport. For some reason we got stressed even though we were 2 hours before schedule.

Anyway, when we got to the airport we bought some breakfast. I had one sandwich and 3 cups of black coffee, and my pal Rickard here just had some American pancakes. I have never had those but I tasted a bit from him, I can say that I had higher expectations, but I am not a pancake kind of guy so what do I know.

After the breakfast we checked in and sat in a café the remaining time and just talked. There was not much else to do there. After like 4 hours our plane back to Sweden lifted. The flight went well. We slept through the whole flight. I do not really know how we could have done that given the amount of coffee we had consumed, but yeah, we did.

We are now sitting in the car on our way home from Arlanda (biggest airport in Sweden). It feels nice being back in Sweden. We got the most we could out of our time in USA so we aren’t as sad as we thought about leaving.

We just wanted to thank you guys for reading our blog about this trip. We hope you have found some inspiration about places to visit in the future. This has been the best, most fun and most interesting experience in our lives. Thank you again.

Bye! 

Our last day

Hello!

The final day to enjoy the States was here. Tomorrow we’re heading for the airport.

We did not have a good idea about what we would do but after a while it hit us. We hadn’t seen a celebrity the whole time we’ve been here. Since its so many famous people in Hollywood we decided to walk around in Hollywood and come up with any other ideas on what to do while walking.

First of we went down to the breakfast buffet. We ate as much as possible to get our money worth.

We went out to Hollywood. We parked the car and walked down the Hollywood Boulevard. It was a warm and sunny day and perfect for being outside walking. After about one hour we sat down to get lunch. We were happy about seeing a few celebs already. It was kind of fun to walk along the “walk of fame” which actually is stars on the ground with celebrities names on them. Although it felt that it was enough and we had decided to go to the shopping mall called Hollywood & Highland. It was a huge shopping mall. They had over 70 shops, restaurants, a movie theatre and a nightclub. It felt like a good place to spend our last day in. We walked around in stores for hours. We got a lot of clothes which would cost us a lot more if we had bought it in Sweden.

It started getting late. We ate dinner in a restaurant in the mall. Afterwards we spent our last night in the nightclub they had. We got some drinks and after all we were very satisfied about our last day here. We have now got back to our hotel. It has been an amazing time here so we are sad about leaving tomorrow. We have both agreed on coming back if we have the opportunity.

Tomorrow we are heading towards the airport so the next time we update will be in Sweden.

Goodnight!

Sunburned

Hola!

Today we just felt for having a relaxed day. We choose to not set an alarm. We woke up around noon. 

The breakfast buffet had closed hours ago so instead we went down the corner and had lunch. 

Afterwards we went out for a golf-round. When we started it was 2pm. After 2 hours we were just on the 9th hole. We decided to quit early and not finish the course. 

We were close to the Malibu beach and after all our time watching 2 1/2 men which is outplayed there we had to stop by and visit. The sand was really warm but soft. We decided to just lay down and enjoy the moment. Everything was just the way we've imagined it. The sun was burning, the wind was perfect so that it wasn't too hot and the sea was beautiful. Unfortunately there were a lot of people around and we didn't want to bade in our boxers so we just law there on the beach.

We started to get hungry and discovered a beautiful restaurant near by that was called "Malibu Seafood".

The fish and chips there was delicious. The restaurant was located near the beach so we sat down outside and ate while watching the sea. 

After we had ate our dinner there were no people left on beach. We decided to go bathing nude. The water was really hot on the surface but freezing cold at the bottom. Therefore we went up fast and headed back to the hotel. 

Talk to you later! 

Big-ass whales

Hey ladies and dudes! Today we visited the SeaWorld as we told you yesterday. We have one word for you; AWESOME! It was the coolest thing we have ever seen in our lives. There were about 25 giant whales that did all these tricks; we’re still on fire, ha-ha. The entry cost 35 dollars for each one of us, but man was it worth it!

When we got there, the whales were just swimming around calm and greeted the audience,

 everyone but us :(!

Anyway, when the music started, it was the coolest thing - the whales lined up next to each other and started the show. I can’t explain it in words, all I can say is; awesome!

After the show we could watch the whales get fed.
Some of the children there stepped into a cage and got down hoisted into the pool to behold the whales from a close distance. We can admit that we were pretty jealous.

After the SeaWorld we went back to the hotel (as usual), and watched a hockey-game on TV for like 2 hours. It was Rangers against Colorado. New York Rangers won so we went out celebrating with a couple of beers. At the same pub we ordered two big burgers with French fries for dinner.

Now we’re sitting in the lobby again and sipping on some wine. We’ll see what will do tomorrow. Thank you for staying updated.

Goodnight! 

Venice beach

Heyeey! Today we went to the Venice Beach. It’s the most popular beach in Los Angeles, so we just had to go there. It was the nicest beach we have ever been on, and some very beautiful ladies, ha-ha. For the first time in our life we tried to drive a Jet Ski. We borrowed one together and we have never had so fun before. Remaining time on the beach, we devoted ourselves to beer and the sun, so, so relaxing.

On our way home we were really tired, probably because of the sun, so when we got back to the hotel we blacked out for like 3 hours, probably the best powernap we’ve ever had. We took a shower and changes and headed to town for dinner.

We ate at a restaurant called Genwa, it’s a Asian buffet-restaurant that serves really good Asian food. After the giant meal we both got stuck in food coma, so we just sat there like two fat beanbags.

We did not have the energy to continue shopping after that meal so now we’re sitting at the lobby on our hotel and enjoying a bottle of wine.

Tomorrow we’re thinking of going to the SeaWorld in San Diego and behold some cool whales, but we haven’t decided yet.

Now we’re going to finish our bottle and then it’s straight to bed. Talk to you tomorrow. Good night!

Universal studios

Hello!

This is our first day in California and we decided to do something we've always to do.
We visited the universal studios and it was amazing.
It's a theme park and a working movie studio. They've got things like the Jurassic Park-ride where you get to be face to face with a tyrannosaurs rex before plunging down a wild waterfall. They've also got a famous studio tour that probably was the most legendary attraction there. It offers a chance to explore the working backlot of a real Hollywood movie studio. The tour also includes Peter Jackson's King Kong that you can see in 3D. It is known to be the world's largest 3D-experience.  It was awesome to see.

We also visited the "House of Terror". It was the most horrible thing we have ever done. As soon as we got in we wanted to go back. Unfortunately we went  in with a big group and we were at the front of the group. The guys behind held us on our shoulders so we couldn't just get out of there so we decided to continue walking with our eyes half-closed. The house of terror can be compared with "spökhuset" that they have at "Gröna Lund" but with a big exception- everybody inside are dressed as a famous horror-movie character and it's a lot more scarier.

On the way home we were still pretty amazed of our day. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. It was late so we went straight back to our hotel. We'll write to you tomorrow so stay updated!

First hotel

Hey!

Now we arrived at the motel. We have been driving for 10 hours and are really tired. We can't wait to arrive in California. We will live in a four-star hotel in Monterrey and we will spend most of our time there because we've heard that it's a very beautiful and charming city. We are now staying in a motel in Saint Louis. We got her when it was only 6 o'clock (pm), so we bought tickets to the hockey game. We choosed to stay here because Rangers  has a away-game against Saint Louis. We will get back to you after the game.

It's now 11 pm. We've just got back from the game. It was a great game even though the Rangers lost. Lundqvist was great like always and that's the thing that matters. Now we've set the alarm at 8am and are hoping to be on the road at 9. We've decided to sleep in Colorado tomorrow. We'll update when we have arrived in California.

Ciao!

Byebye New York

Hello!
We're now on our way to California in our rented car. We've been driving for 2 hours and we're already bored. The drive is about 42 hours from New York to California. We've only got 40 hours left!
In about 10 hours we're going to check in to a hotel and continue our drive in the morning.

Yesterday we really enjoyed our last day in New York. New York is great for shopping. Everything is so much cheaper that it is in Sweden. We bought as much as we could bear.

Later that evening we went to the well-known restaurant called Hooters. Even though the restaurant is more famous for the waitresses in the tight shorts we really enjoyed the food as well.

Afterward we just went for a walk. We walked for hours and just studied the city. We know that we will miss it in a few weeks so it felt good to really say goodbye to it.

The Big Apple

Hey! Today we bought tickets to the big apple. It's a helicopter-ride that takes us over the entire New York. We saw for instance the Statue of Liberty. It was a beautiful view. New York was a lot bigger than we expected. We feel that we've seen the most important things in New York and have decided to drive to California in the morning. Today we are just going to enjoy our last time in New York. We are later on going out for shopping.

An awesome day

Hello!
Today we spent the day to explore New York. We concluded that there wasn't a better way exploring New York then to see it from the Empire State building. We woke up early and bought tickets that made us able to skip the queue. Before we got there we stopped by a little breakfast restaurant right next to our hotel. They served the best coffee we'd ever had, I think we drank 4 cups each.

Afterwards we drove to the Empire State building. It was real hard to find a parking spot. We had to park a couple of blocks away. It was really crowded. We we're lucky that we got those tickets that made us able to skip the queue because otherwise we would had to queue for hours.

The view was amazing. We got all the way up to the 86 floor, 320 meter up in the air. It was a spectacular view of Manhattan. We saw everything from the Times square to the Statue Of Liberty.
Unfortunately the coffee started to kick in and we had to find a restroom.

We went back to our hotel to relax for a while. We bought tickets to a N.Y Rangers game. For dinner we went to KFC as they doesn't have that in Sweden, and man it tasted good. Afterwards we went to the hockey-game. We're both interested in hockey so it was a nice experience to watch hockey at such a high level, and of course, we're both big Rangers-fans.

That's all we did today. Now we're just hanging back in our hotel. Tomorrow we're just going to hang out in central park. We'll update when we're visiting something more interesting.
Sleep tight.

Airport

Hello guys. Today me and Rickard have been at the airport, waiting for our flight. We got there 3 hours earlier than necessary, just to be sure we wouldn't miss it. We had to wait for a long time, it felt like a year.
We took a flight to New York. When we arrived we rented a car and went to our hotel. The hotel is located near the central park. We choose that hotel because we love the tv-series "Friends" and it takes place right next to the park.

It was already noon so we just put our baggage in the hotel room and went out for a bite. We went to a steakhouse that was kind of close to our hotel and ate there. Tomorrow we're going to wake up early and explore the city.
