A Restful Start...

My (Annie's) day has been lovely. Waking up in my treehouse (shown in the blip) to the gentle sound of a wild Turkey, I then had a fabulous late breakfast overlooking the Pacific. The cliffs at Big Sur are so high that you can see the curvature of the Earth on the ocean. A spa bath, then a massage before heading off in my trusty white steed to meet up with Fresno. It's a 4 hour drive, but driving in America is like living in a road trip film so fun...

I got to our hotel in Fresno, calm and serene, only to find...

...Chris and all the rest of the group are stranded at LAX as their connecting flight was cancelled. Rumour has it some bloke called "Obama" is in town and they shut the airport as he landed. Chris will have set off for the airport at around 10pm yesterday our time, and it's now 7pm with them still 250 miles from their beds...

They made it, eventually, at 9:30pm - 24 hours after setting off on their travels...
