USA 2004

In the late summer of 2004 (August 31st - September 14th) I went on a trip through the western USA with a friend. Afterwards we treated ourselves to a few days (September 14th - September 20th) in Hawaii (Oahu).

The report is written in the form of a diary and will therefore hopefully not only be informative but also entertaining.
