Day 14: Space Mountain Proposal. Location: Disneyland, California.

Disneyland is fantastic, one of the places I never went to when I travelled America many years ago. I was a cool twenty year old though, of course I didn’t want to go somewhere populated by Disney characters and little kids. How I missed out. I think I’d like to live here.

We’re staying in the fairy tale suite, it really is like something out of a Disney film, a room fit for a princess. A beautiful four poster bed, ornate carved woodwork, satins and silks in rich colours, a chaise longue, embroidered coverings, old fashioned lamps, the most amazing bathroom that even has old Greek columns around the bath.

We’d done all the touristy things, buying Mickey Mouse ears, having our photos taken with the characters and been on a load of rides and as day turned to night we watched the character parades and the beautiful fireworks over Cinderella’s castle.

Then, as most people left the park, the hard core amongst us stayed on to utilise the rides some more.

We went on Space Mountain, and my God, Suzie has a pair of lungs on her – she screamed so loud, I feared deafness.

The Americans love the English and they love the idea of a romantic proposal even more, so the people in our car were more than happy to help.

As we plummeted down the big drop, almost in complete darkness, our photo was taken as part of the official ride memorabilia. It was only as we went to view our photo when we left the ride that Suzie saw the proposal. Each of the people in our car had held up cards spelling out the letters for my proposal. ‘Marry’ down the left side of the car, ‘Me’ down the right side of the car, with Suzie sitting at the front screaming her head off. Brilliant. One of my favourites so far, as she had no idea it was coming. I love surprising her.

Day 15: Land Yachting Proposal. Location: San Francisco Bay

We’re going to a baseball game tonight, (‘Let’s go Giants’ clap, clap, clapclapclap) so Suzie was convinced I would propose to her at half time, if baseball matches have a half time. But I had a different plan up my sleeve.

I’m keen for Suzie to do and see the things everyone does in these cities, but I want her to experience the hidden parts too. Tomorrow, before our afternoon flight to Vegas, we are taking a boat up the coast to Alamere Falls. How impressive it will be to see the water from Alamere Creek cascade straight into the Pacific Ocean.

But this morning, as soon as we had checked into our hotel, we did all the touristy things. We rode a cable car up and down the steep hills, (to the uninitiated, these are trams – to me cable cars are the things that take you up mountains, the hills in San Francisco are steep but not that steep) we went
