Last Post USA 2008, Malibu, 4th July.

Greetings and welcome to my last post from my journey to the USA 2008.

I had the good fortune to stay with Mike and Judy high on the hill behind Zuma Beach, Malibu. It just so happened that this pair of Kiwi’s ( New Zealanders ) were having a party on this important day on the American calender and I was able to join in the festivities…..what a way to finish my visit!

I am blown away each and every time I visit the States by the incredible hospitality and camaraderie I experience, truly a very special privilege for which I remain extremely grateful.

A huge thank you to each and every one of my hosts, Andy and Gina in New Jersey/New York, Jamie and Sunshine on the Jersey Shore, Adam and Nina in San Diego, the Rubio’s in Agoura Hills, Mike n Judy in Malibu, to all those who made the effort and took the time to participate in the workshops, Pat on the Jersey shore who plied me with prodigious quantities of Chinese Beer followed the next day by a consummate chiropractic treatment, and Matty n Kirsten for showing me a good time at the San Diego State Fair and blooding me with Frisbee on the beach.

No wonder I want to go back next year!

Thanks heaps guys for a unforgettable journey through the USA in 2008, to each and every one of you I extend an invitation to come on downunda , I would love the opportunity to reciprocate.

Have a gud 1,

Alan
