Welcome to another trip report of our's.

We are taking a break from Orlando for various reasons and doing a US Roadtrip instead.

We start in NYC for 3 nights.
Drive from Newark Airport, through New Jersey, Delaware & Maryland.
Arriving in Washington DC for 2 nights.
Driving through the Virginian mountains and stopping over night in Bristol just before the Tennessee border.
Driving through Tennessee, Ketucky and arriving at my Dad's in Indiana
where we stay and explore Indiana a little along with Kentucky and Illinois for 6 nights.
Flying home from Nashville and then Atlanta.

It was a trip of a life time.
Totally amazing.

We are home for 5 days as I write this.
No jetlag, no holiday blues... just full of inspiration and feel totally refreshed.

I hope you enjoy our trippie :wavey:

Hi Lisa
School summer holidays and a day at home for the sprog meant a day of reading both your Orlando trip reports. You have a very similar touring style to our family. I really enjoyed the reports and they have made me very excited for our next trip in December :)

Ooh I love your trippies, can't wait for more.

Can't wait to read this!

I keep checking for day 2 :(

Sorry about the super long wait.
The next day is finally up x
