West Coast Adventure Travel Log

Hey weirdos (i switched it up a bit),
          As you may or may not know, for the next two weeks i am taking a trip with my mother down the west coaststarting in Vancouver, British Columbia and ending in Los Angeles, California. Unfortunatly, I did not post yesterday, but i will catch you guys up!
         A lot of preparation was made for this trip starting with the itinerary. We are going to visit a total of  8 cities including: Vancouver, British Columbia; Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Medford, Oregon; Eureka, California; San Francisco, California; Yosemite; and Los Angeles, California. We are using literally every type of transportation available from flying in planes to riding ferry boats. So it is bound to be a great trip.
         Next on the list of preparation is packing. When I first learned about this trip, I wanted to be somewhat fashionable so I started shopping...and shopping...and shopping some more. And then, it turns out to be cold...and instead of wearing shorts and really cute tank tops, I am wearing jeans and long sleeve shirts. But that is okay because I found a way for it to work. Other than clothing I needed to bring other things because how else am I supposed to blog and keep you guys updated! I ended up packing four essential things that I think are important for everyone who wants to blog a trip: an iPad or laptop ( my laptop is for school and they take it away every summer so I have to blog from my iPad), your phone if that is how you take pictures and notes throughout the day, a camera of some sort ( YOU GUYS I FINALLY GOT A POLAROID CAMERA), and a scrapbook to keep a more personal log of your trip. Obviously I packed some other things to, but those are the most important.
       Moving on to what happened yesterday. Not much actually happened, but at the same time I have a lot to talk about. The flight to Vancouver was at 9:00 pm central time and in my mind that meant grab a snack for the plane and then fall asleep for 5 hours. That was almost impossible to do. We did get a smoothie for a snack, but falling asleep on that plane was near impossible. It took us forever to get on out of the terminal and then the plane seats were as far from comfortable as you could get. We did eventually make it and took a cab to our hotel. The hotel beds were 1 million times more comfortable than the plane seats and thanks to the time change we still woke up at a reasonable time.

       So that was day 1 posted a day late ( so sorry but you should know how I am) I am also creating a page for this so you can either read as I post day by day or you can go to the page and read in order from beginning to end! That is all for now.., see you weirdos later!



I got my ticket for the long way round! ~Anna Kendrick
