My USA Road Trip Tale

[thworple]

First-time poster here, so hope this is in the right place. Thought I'd share my 2008 USA Road Trip experience!

Earlier this year I was busy planning my wedding to my lovely fiancee, when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Despite her brave battle she passed away just three weeks before our big day.

She always knew it was my big dream to drive coast to coast across the USA, and she made me promise her that I would go and do it as soon as I could. So that's exactly what I did.

I dragged my friend into the mix, and together we set about planning our adventure, with our drive starting in Florida, and ending in California, taking one month to complete, and driving a rather excellent Ford Mustang the full 6,000 miles.

Along the way, we updated a regular blog mainly for friends and family to follow our journey across country.

Having come across this great little forum though, I though I'd open it to others to share in our experiences, in the hope that others too can get ideas and tips on where to go, what to see, and what to avoid.

Good luck to all those planning trips of your own!
