Next Tuesday I will be traveling back to home sweet home that is the USA for a 5 week stay.
I will be visiting Las Vegas first to see my father (he is in bad shape) and my brother. I will be doing a lot of nursing to help out my dad and keep him company. So it may be the last time I will see him. He told me to come asap becuse he thinks his time is imminent.
Anyways, so after Vegas, it's off to San Jose and San Francisco. I look so forward to seeing my mom and hanging out with my best friends that I grew up with. Then I will surely visit the Los Angeles area to visit some more friends who were dumb enough to move away from Northern California. Oh, I will surely visit the Redwood forest just north of San Francisco. I love nature, so maybe a one or two day camp shall be in order.....and chasing down bigfoot. I also can't wait to go to the beaches in Northern California. They are very scenic...not like those SoCal beaches that are basically situated by some freeway or boulevard. Carmel by the sea will be a must. I just love the Pacific Ocean and doing some body surfing.
I plan on really hanging out a lot in San Francisco and enjoying the most beautiful city in the world (sorry, don't even argue with me). Perfect weather, awesome views from wherever you are in the city, open, groovy, and friendly people. Plus the restaurants offer so much variety, class, and top notch service. Also, San Francisco is not that spread out or huge like other big cities. It's all right there in a European way. One last bonus is that everybody speaks really good english there...lol
I do also plan to drop by Phoenix and visit a very special somebody
Nevertheless, I do need to get away from Sweden and Europe. I need to be with my culture in every way....especially some baseball games and do some major shopping in the malls.
Can't wait...and I will do some posting from America...they do still have computers right?
Sweetie, I hope things go well with your father. My thoughts are with you. I also hope you'll pop in on us from time to time and let us know how your visit is going.
I hope you have a wonderful time when you go, but it sounds like you already have a great time planned. I hope it is everything you are expecting and needing for a cultural reunion with our birthplace.
I'm sorry to hear about your Dad, enjoy every precious moment you have with him!!!
Say hi to San Francisco for me. You're right it is the most beautiful city in the world!!! I lived & worked there in the early '70's and fell in love with that city.

Wooo you have lots planned! I'm sorry to here about your dad tho.. BUT!!.. on the plus side.. people aren't often lucky enough to get to say all they may want too.. so that's a good thing at least.
I have only been to the SoCal beaches.. and I know what you mean about being at the end of a road.. freeway/Boulevard.. I thought that when we went to Santa Monica (where my friend chucked me in the Pacific and I had to drive back to Vegas in my undies AND a cowboy hat )
Have a great time! Recharge your American batteries!

Hopefully the smoke will be cleared out by the time you get here. From the reports I've been hearing even Vegas has been getting our smoke, so I'm pretty sure SFO is too. I wish it would just pour down rain & put the fires out. We've been burning up here since last week Saturday when we had about 3,000 lightning strikes during a thunderstorm.
Otherwise, enjoy your visit home. "We" miss you...lol
I want to visit San Francisco , LA , california .. few of the American cities on my to view list .. It sounds like a hell of a trip .. have fun !!! And keep posting .. or you might miss out on ermm well ..
