Massive

Not just the plane, we didnt get a good look at it from the outside but we already know its massive, the view from the wings is of a massive engine and a massive wing, the angle of the windows stops you seeing very much outside unless the plane is banking steeply.

The bathroom at the front was massive, you could have held a party in it, the Purser said she got 12 people in it on her training course, and another of the crew said they got 20 in it on his training course, glad they enjoyed it.
 The car is massive, I booked a mid size SUV to practice driving one for Alaska in the summer, I am going to have to sleep in it in Alaska because I am too scared to camp in a tent in bear country, I could book hotels and bed and breakfasts but thinking back to the trip Dunc and I took to Washington state, it was far more fun to camp!
The car takes some getting used to, its high and huge, goodness knows how Lis manages to drive one every day, I suppose she has grown up with them but for me its like driving a tank, it has a reversing camera so I can at least  reverse it even if its with a great deal of trepidation.

The Howard Johnson in San Bruno............hmm imagine your room opening out on the breakfast area of a hotel, people eating their breakfast while you wash your feet....atctually the hojo is at the lower end of the scale in hotels but San Fransisco over the Easter weekend was never going to be cheap so no point wasting money on somewhere we arent going to notice much after a marathon 11 hour flight.

Big Sur
Driving down the pacific coast highway it was well.... coastal , there is an area called Big Sur which is the best part apparently, it was winding and a few good views over the side, I think I have been spoiled by previous travels, it doesnt have the craggyness of Nova Scotia or the Scenic appeal of Hawaii but it was scenic enough without having any wow moments.
