This is part two of my disjointed and probably futile attempt to describe our time in NYC. In the last post I covered most of what we did during the day so here I'll do the evening activities. One...

There's no easy way to cover our time in New York City. It is just too big and varied and diverse. We spent four days in NYC and covered a lot of ground. At the same time we barely scratched the surface....

There was no time for rest after our hectic and action packed day in Washington DC. We were due in New York City (well Jersey City but close enough) for the night and we had a lot of sites to see and miles...

It's fair to say that Washington DC is one of the places that I had been looking forward to the most since planning the trip. The tiny district (it's not a state or part of one) is packed full of famous...

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a scenic road that stretches 469 miles along the Blue Ridge Mountains. The route starts in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in South Carolina and ends at the Shenandoah...

Charleston was another place that we didn't really know much about when we were first planning our route. Once we had picked it as a destination however suddenly it was popping up everywhere. We kept seeing...

We left Montgomery at around midday and drove east towards Savannah and the Atlantic Ocean. It was a long but pleasant drive though rolling forest cut by rivers and small towns. Upon crossing the state...

I've included the day number in the title here just to highlight how far behind I am on these posts. This covers the 20th and 21st of July. I write this from a hostel in Montreal, which at this rate you'll...

We had rushed to pack the car before the storm hit and it wasn't long before the rain started to fall. We wanted to take a walk in a swamp before we left Louisiana and we had a found a small nature preserve...

This is a bit of a long post but I thought it would be better to include all of the time we spent in New Orleans in a single post. As I mentioned last time it was late at night when we arrived in New...

Our next stop after Austin was Houston where we would be staying with Peggy and Todd's cousin. The drive from Austin was short and uneventful and we arrived just in time for a nice dinner. It was awesome...

Our first morning in Austin got off to a late start thanks to the 2.30am arrival the night before. We finally managed to get downtown around midday and wandered along 6th Street in search of breakfast....

Our plan after Santa Fe was to visit Carlsbad Caverns National Park that afternoon and then drive to Austin, Texas the next day. Carlsbad Caverns are a series of huge caves that are accessible via an...

I'm writing this post from a Starbucks south of Toronto, Canada. When I started writing this blog I just assumed that there would always be downtime to write posts and updates but that hasn't really been...

Once again apologies for the lack of updates. I have hardly any downtime to write these posts and realistically I don’t think I’ll catch up any time soon! I'm posting this from New York City...
