Our first proper holiday since lockdown started. We have always wanted to visit Pompeii!

The hotel wasn’t very helpful when it came to asking for a late checkout. To be honest I’ve been pretty disappointed with the Pan Pacific.

The alarm was set for 4:30am so that we would be out by 5am and at the airport by 5:30am. In the event, neither Vick nor I could sleep properly after about 3am, so we ended up rising at 4am and leaving the hotel by 4:45am.

A better night’s sleep was had by all - we are slowly dealing with the jet lag. This morning we grabbed an early breakfast and then were on the road by 6:20am, missing most of the rush hour traffic, headed for the border and then on to Seattle.

We hit the sack at around 9:30pm last night and unsurprisingly woke dead early this morning - just after 3am. We both fought it a little but in the end got up and checked email etc.

Slept very badly. Woke at 12:30am, 2am and then again at 3am. Dozed until 6am and then decided to get up. Vick was still snoring!

In Aug 2006 we explored the west coast of the US, starting in Vancouver, down over the border to Seattle, down the Pacific Coast Highway, to Los Angeles, over to the Grand Canyon and finished off at Las Vegas.
