Well, we have arrived in New York. The impression so far is definitely good, so so different to anywhere we have been but we love it. I'm only going to write a little in this post, I will let the photos tell the story.
San Francisco
Downtown San Francisco
Haight-Ashbury
From the park in Haight-Ashbury
Yosemite NP
A beautiful place, everyone should visit here
El Capitan and Yosemite Valley
Desert Travelling to L.A.
The deserts in California and south-western USA are amazingly empty places, yet I couldn't keep my eyes and my camera off them. Hundreds of wind turbines in the mountains outside San Fran and L.A.
Mojave Desert
Outside Mojave town
Los Angeles
A big, hot, dirty place. some interesting spots but overall we weren't very impressed. Everyone drives 4WDs because the roads are in such poor condition.
Venice Beach skaters. One of our favourite places
The Farmer's market
L.A. from the bus
Travelling to El Paso
More amazing desert.
New Mexico
El Paso
A big desert city on the border of Texas and Mexico where Almost everyone is black or Mexican. It was the first place that really felt very different to Australia.

On our way to the Cayman Islands
In a straight line, it would take about 80 minutes to fly from El Paso to Grand Cayman, however we decided to go via Chicago and Miami. About 10 hours all up.
Sunset over Cuba
The Cayman Islands
Burgers, Jerk Chicken, Moet et Chandon and pina coladas. Quite a wealthy place for a tiny island nation. It gave us a week to really relax. Definitely a place people should visit. I wont forget having friendly stingrays jumping on me at stingray city.

Tax haven anyone?

Some lucky person's beachside hut
New York
Finally here. Its big, busy and very different but we love it so far. We even caught the subway yesterday!
