So this years trip is coming to an end. Bawhawhaw! According to the program – I guess it is time to sum up everything in decorative, seemingly interesting, thought jamming sentences with post-ironic meaningless-to-answer-headlines.
Well… Yes. America is great. In so many different ways.
While we think the well researched ad-hoc way of traveling is great and provides us with many great opportunities, there is one part we se needs some work: Staying.
We are so occupied with traveling and moving that we forget about staying.
Even by Japanese speed-tourist standards, our two weeks on the road was a stretch when taking the length in comparison. Going North from Salt lake City when the destination is to the south-wes even had the tourist information puzzled for a while, and the distance increased as we wanted to see more of the country. Google has estimated our final road-toll to be AAAA miles, equivalent to BB hours on the road.
Is that much? We wouldn’t know!
Thus we invented the Stay/Go ratio, S/G
Kari og Knut Goes USA
S/G ratio: CC,C
While most of our sleepovers were in the low/medium range, we sometimes got tempted to going higher end. Arriving late means we get little out of the lodging. And that it wasn’t worth it, as we saw little or nothing of it.
Where should we stay and where should we go?
Decide what are the go-miles and where are the stay-places.
Here I’ll give my ups to the charter planners. When we arrived in San Francisco, we used a lot of time on Yelp, finding where the restaurants and bars were in our neighborhood.
Solution:
1. Kickback
Å ha en bil eller andre typer tidslås/rom. Planlegg -1 dag til å undersøke
Working with it!
I’ll try to update this thread as we go. In the meantime, here is the final salute to San Francisco, recorded in the once lavishly extraordinary Cliff House on the east coast of SF (now a little less lavish, but still in a great spot!)

So this is it. Again the end of our trip is approaching. Yesterday we went to Castro Theatre for a live musical performance of a russian silent film from named “The Overcoat” from 1926. Pretty dramatic / brilliant stuff!
We also met a group of San Franciscans about our own age that insisted San Francisco is the place to go. And perhaps we will? Oh well this was blogged at a speed so here are this mornings last two video updates from San Fran:

This is the ultimate list we lost. We are now trying to decipher and do the things the list once said. :)
It’s day 11 and we’re somehow settling into the neighborhood. Height was apparently the place where the hippie movement started and doesn’t really seem like it has ended yet.
But now – breakfast!

It sure is cold. 13°Centigrade! San Francisco seems like the Bergen of California.

I was very happy we were approaching SF from the North. This way we had to cross Golden Gate to get to San Francisco. And to be honest with you, I was actually quite nervous before approaching this immense bridge. I don’t really know why, it just seemed like a great endeavor. Perhaps also because it was such a milestone for our trip.
We have been traveling by car for over a week, going 3283 km (2043 miles), and now we are approaching our destination. Perhaps the Golden Gate somehow just became a great symbol of “no return” for us? I don’t know, but as we approached it, we weren’t disappointed.

The immense bridge lay in a fast moving cloud of mystery, and it seemed like the temperature gauge dropped by the meter. From the hot territory of Sonoma just north of San Francisco, it was now 20°C lower, clicking in at 15° while we were going across the bridge! Wo0t!?
It is day 10, and we are going to San Francisco! Looking forward to it. The wine district of healdsburg is intensely hot at a temperature of 35°C. The warning signs of San Francisco being a little cooler suddenly seems perfect for us.
