Sailing to the Isles of Scilly

20 Sep , 2018 No Comments Video Post

It’s me! Matt Stone. It’s the summer and after a bumper year of vacations in 2017 (see video links below) we decided in 2018 to focus on paying off debts and saving for buying our first house, however when my parents invited us to go sailing during one of the nicest and sustained heatwaves we’ve ever had in the UK, I managed to convince Dianne we should go (she doesn’t enjoy being on boats!).

We sailed from the Helford River in Cornwall across the Celtic Sea to the Isles of Scilly, the most westerly point in England. We had 3 nights anchored in St Marys and Tresco and enjoyed exploring both of these beautiful islands that look less like England and more like the Caribbean.

The City of Los Angeles

03 May , 2018 No Comments Video Post

It’s me! Matt Stone. It was our last full day in Los Angeles and we decided to see some local sights. We travelled to Griffith Park to hike up the hill to the world famous Griffith Observatory made famous by Hollywood movies and containing an amazing science museum and of course the observatory. We then went and met our friend James for lunch and ended up at Santa Monica beach and the Pier where my brother Morgan finally got to have a go on his skateboard.

On our trip to Los Angeles where we spent most of our time at Disneyland, Anaheim (video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY1DTQZ25vA), we also did a day trip into the California desert along Route 66 as far as we could drive in half a day (video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=girtVmd_dow).

California Route 66 Road Trip

18 Feb , 2018 No Comments Video Post

It’s me! Matt Stone. Back in 2011 my wife Dianne and I went on an epic road trip across the United State of America, we started in Chicago and followed the old alignments of Historic Route 66 as far as Flagstaff, AZ (see our video of the trip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrPONHckPp8). We went up to Las Vegas followed by Los Angeles and San Francisco which meant we missed some of the best sections of Route 66 through western Arizona and almost all of California.

On our trip to Los Angeles where we spent most of our time at Disneyland, Anaheim (video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY1DTQZ25vA), we did a day trip into the California desert along Route 66 as far as we could drive in half a day.

We stopped off at the McDonalds museum in San Bernardino where we met the museum curator Jack Marcus, the California Route 66 Museum in Victorville where we had a personal tour of the museum from Lou, one of the volunteers who had many amazing stories about the collection and his own life growing up in the USA, with our final stop being Barstow and seeing the famous Harvey House and Train Station.

Our epic trip to Disneyland Anaheim in California

It’s me! Matt Stone. It’s been a goal of mine and my wife to visit every Disney park in the World. If you’ve watched any of our previous Disney vlogs you’ll know Dianne and I love Disney and visit Disneyland Paris at once a year, this year we’ve been lucky enough to go on a trip to the home of the original Disneyland park on a trip to Anaheim in California.

Join us as we wander around Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure, including footage from Tarzan’s Treehouse, the queue and pre-show of Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout, as well as The Little Mermaid.
