Take a road trip across the USA

Absolutely incredible! Highly recommended!

I got lucky, as I already had a friend over there with a car. I joined him over there with a few others and we travelled for 3 months (If your from the UK you’ll struggle to stay for more than 90 days due to Visa issues!).

The American people are so friendly and fantastic, super hospitalitable – we stayed with so many people we met who invited us to stay with them – I’d say about half the nights we were there someoene was putting us up! Fantastic adventure, fantastic country!!

into the wild!

First I drove from Maryland to California. Then three years later, I came back. I drove on the road and it was a trip. But I doubt that is the kind of road trip you mean.

Was fun. Nyc to
Myrtle Beach in NC nice beach its really long. the entire coast with the hotels looks like such a touristie vacation spot to
Montgomery Alabama its funny there, nobody lives there
Atlanta Georgia i had to go visit Dr.King’s grave, very beautiful there to
New Orleans a week before after or during Mardi Gras- I don’t know and don’t really care, in any case, they don’t play with there drinks. In nyc you get nice a nice watered down drink for 8$, there you get a 151 slushi for 3$. Yup, plus funny ppl there- but that’s another story) to
Houston Texas checked out the aerospace museum. it was really small, i got to the end of it and thought there was more a second floor or something. but its true that- at least the people I ran into- the people in Texas are the friendliest people ever… weirdly friendly =P
aye yai yai…
Vegas-> death valley(darkest place ever) > LA (met freddie and jason.. scary I didn’t expect them) > the shoreline up to San Francisco (of course drove across the Golden Gate)-> Yellowstone (it was closed for 2 more weeks when we got there, but my friend had a fun time hitting me for howling back at the wolves) -> across those north mid states, on that drive you’ll see more God Bless, Believe in Jesus, and No Abortion/Abortion is murder billboards then you will anywhere else. We went up to Buffalo where our college was and nyc is where I live.

Fun stuff, can’t trade it for anything else, memories to last a lifetime. And at some mid smtn state in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a far out the way rest stop with nobody around, there was a f!$#ing van that parked next to us with the !#@$ing crew from devils rejects. THANKFULLY they left in like 10min, but I wasn’t falling asleep there with them there. WHEW! =)

some tips: if your not doing the m/hotel thing but sleeping in your car. take advantage of those trucker rest stops. to me it sounded nasty, but it was the complete opposite. very first class treatment and setup with those places.

It was so much fun. Bring friends!

I only have 7 days, any suggestions.

Destination New mexico.

It’s not realistic. I have a child with Autism, I hate long car rides, gas prices are awful, driving is bad for the environment, etc.

I’m moving to portland, OR in june and will be driving out there. So i’m currently pondering whether to pretty much just continually drive west and experience whatever i pass along the way, or to plan out a certain itinerary. hopefully i’ll also have a certain friend coming along, and they’ve already voted for the random route, but we’ll see!

She said that it was mostly deserts and nothingness for days. No thanks.

I’d like to see more of the country!
