Hi this is my first post on this site, what a fantastic idea this is.

I am planning a round road trip from New York to New Orleans around the second last week of March. I was thinking I might 'train it' in one direction and drive the other.

I'll be travelling on my own and I only have about a week to play with. Any tips on best ways/routes to travel and what to look for along the way, not to mention when I get there, would be fantastic.

I will happily reciprocate with advice to any folk travelling to Sydney.

cheers
Lizzie
