Day 14 – So this is a follow on from my previous weeks on the trip to date – starting off in Hawaii and then driving up the West Coast from San Francisco to Seattle. Now we are after departing Seattle early on Sunday morning at 06:00 and flying up to Anchorage in Alaska – a flight that took approximately 2h 40 minutes. We slept on the plane for a bit and just rested after the early start. We had had a nice time in Seattle and...

Day 7 – So we left Honolulu Saturday night on the red-eye flight to San Francisco. We got a little sleep on the plane but not a lot – there is a lot of pressure to make sure that everything is organised and booked properly – especially when you are doing most of the organising yourself. If you are wondering where the first six days are, they are in an earlier post in Hawaii. So the flight time was approximately five hours and...

DAY 1 Monday morning and I left Limerick at 09:00 to head to Dublin for my 15:00 flight to Budapest. I stopped off in Abbeyleix to get a cup of tea around 10:30 and headed on from there at 11:00 towards the airport. The roads were fine re travel at this time of the year and there was a lovely sunrise as I was coming towards Nenagh. Definitely a potential there for future sunrise photos. We arrived at the Blue Car Park near Dublin Airport around...

Day 1 – So this trip all started off in early July 2012 – just after I got married. After getting married on the Saturday and recovering on the Sunday, it was time that evening to finish off the packing and get ready to leave for Hawaii on the Monday. We had till the following Sunday to look around the Island and have a nice relaxing time at the location. We decided to get all the travelling done on that first day .. Monday July 9th....

I never get tired of looking at these amazing creatures – whether it is on TV, online or in the real world. I headed out to Alaska in the summer of 2012 with the hopes of seeing some grizzlies. Ah I was not disappointed. I went to Homer in South Alaska out near the spit and had a hike organised with some people for the day out on one of the local islands – approximately  one hours flight away. After we landed on the beach, we...

This was a view that I took when we were travelling from Jasper down to Banff on a lovely bright sunny day. The road itself is known as the Icefield Parkway and there are some amazing views along here. You can spot anything from wildlife like bears, moose, elk etc to glaciers and amazing coloured lakes. I pulled in when I saw this image – my first shot was of the lake off to the right of the shot – and then I stepped in the middle of...
