Before I continue on to the rest of my trip in the US, I thought it would be good to look back at the time I spent with my friends. It's been almost four months since we split up so I've had plenty of...

Chicago was to be our last destination together as a group. Both Hannah and Todd would be flying out from O'Hare airport and Peggy and Rez would be back to Bloomington to start their semester. We had three...

I have already written this post once but a technical issue lost the whole thing so here is attempt two. Once again there are no photos as the camera still wasn't fixed. Todd, Hannah, and I had another...

There are no photos here due to my camera being out of action :( Todd and Hannah did though and I will update this later with some photos of theirs. For our first night without Peggy and Rez we stayed...

It was around about midday as we crossed the border in to Canada. There was really only one thing to do next; Go and see the falls! There were lots of subtle things that were different in Canada, the...

It's been a bit of a while since my last post but I've been busy trying to find a flat in London, but more on that later. We went to bed on our last night in New York City with alarms set for 5am. We...

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...
Wednesday, October 7, 2015
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 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...
Saturday, August 8, 2015
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...

Once again I'm sorry that this is so delayed. There just hasn't been any down time! We woke up in the middle of the night after Yosemite (3rd July) to the sound of heavy rain and thunder. The lightening...

We spent three nights (July 3rd to 5th) in Las Vegas but I'm going to cover them in one post. I'll also mention here that Vegas is hard to photograph. There are cars and people and telephone poles everywhere...
Our next destination after Las Vegas was Zion National Park in Utah. Note that this is one of three posts for today so don't miss the other two below! We ended up leaving Las Vegas fairly late in the...
Once again I've had no time to write anything in a few days but I'll do my best to catch up! Our next stop was Yosemite National Park where we planned to spend the day of the 2nd of June. Yosemite is...
Monday, July 13, 2015
For the first time in over a week I have enough internet access to write a post! I'm writing this from a Navajo Tipi camp ground in Monument Valley, Utah, but more on that in another post. As I mentioned...
