We have travelled through 24 US states and 1 Canadian, stayed in 30 different beds and covered over 23,000 miles in the last 9 weeks (including UK flights). We have driven 5,000 miles in 6 different cars, rode 2,500 miles on 2 trains and flown 16,000 miles in 6 planes! No wonder we’re knackered :).… Continue reading Bye Bye America

Loop Complete
We flew from Washington’s Reagan airport this morning to Orlando where we started our adventure! The Reagan airport is actually in Virginia so that’s another state to cross off our list! We are flying back to Gatwick tomorrow so have booked a room in the Hyatt hotel within the airport terminal so we don’t have… Continue reading Loop Complete
A Historic Day in Washington D.C.
We left New York this morning and drove 220 miles to Washington D.C passing through New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. It took most of the afternoon so we got to our hotel and went straight out for something to eat. After dinner we came back to the hotel bar, had a drink and went upstairs… Continue reading A Historic Day in Washington D.C.
Driving in New York, ahhhh!
We got up this morning and got ready for zip lining, but then got a phone call to say it had been cancelled because thunder and lighting was on its way. We decided to get on the road since we were up so drove straight to New York City via Connecticut. As we got to… Continue reading Driving in New York, ahhhh!
In the middle of nowhere again
Today we drove for 8 hours from Niagara Falls to a tiny place called Shelburne Falls in Massechusets. We are zip lining in the next town tomorrow so needed a place to crash for a night. We are staying at a B&B called the Dancing Bear Guest House, it is really small and I think… Continue reading In the middle of nowhere again
Cleveland Stop
We picked up our beast of a car to take us from Chicago to Washington. We spent the whole day driving the 350 miles and have just checked into our hotel for the night. We are now on our way to Niagara Falls in Canada so have stopped off at Cleveland as it is about… Continue reading Cleveland Stop
Last Stop Chicago
I woke up this morning at 6am and had a very strong feeling that I wanted to get off the train! We had been on for 43 hours and I really wanted to stand in a room wider that 1m. We finally arrived in Chicago at 3pm, collected our luggage and jumped in a taxi… Continue reading Last Stop Chicago
I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this…
Haha, Emma and Claire thank you for your Dumb and Dumber contributions! This morning we woke up in Colorado, I say woke up but I think we were awake most of the night! Every time you fall asleep the train jolts or the horn sounds! We spent most of today in our cabin watching DVD’s;… Continue reading I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this…
2 Days on a Train
For some reason we thought it would be a good idea to get a 49 hour train from Sacramento to Chicago (2000 miles). It was cheaper than flying and we wanted to see the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. It also means we get to go through 7 states; California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado (to a little… Continue reading 2 Days on a Train
Sacramento Old Town
We left the lodge this morning and drove 150 miles to Sacramento. We checked into our hotel for the night and walked over to Sacramento Old Town just across the road from us. The historic town still has many of its buildings from the gold rush in the 1800’s so we saw part of the… Continue reading Sacramento Old Town
