After almost 9 years of abstinence we were desperate to travel to the USA again.
Since we had visited the Southwest a couple of times before there was no need for us to concentrate on the absolute highlights. So this time we also travelled somewhat off the usual routes of tourists.
Stops on our trip:
Los Angeles — Palm Springs — Joshua Tree National Monument — Death Valley — Las Vegas — Sedona — Tucson — Tombstone — Yuma — San Diego — Carlsbad — Long Beach — Los Angeles

Puerto Rico — December 2009 / January 2010
The turn of the year 2009/2010 we spent in Puerto Rico.
Although it was a very relaxing journey it was not too impressive. For that reason we haven’t written a travelogue. If you are thinking of a Caribbian holiday, we are sure you will find better places than Puerto Rico.
Stops on our trip:
San Juan — Rincon — Guánica — El Yunque — Vieques Island
