Ailsa, Hey, I’m just starting out. Thanks for the support. Off to Havana on Saturday, 2/16. Watch for it.
Sounds like quite an adventure you have ahead of you! Have fun in Havana
Happy trails !!!
Thanks Judy, you too!
Hey Ailsa, I’m enjoying your road trip stories! Actually I’m going on a road trip myself very soon. We will be starting off in SF and finishing in Miami, FL. Any tips or suggestions are welcome!
Wow, that sounds like quite an adventure, GorgeousChaos. Have you decided which route you want to take yet and are you short on time or taking it easy? If you’ve got time and haven’t done it before, drive along Big Sur. If you’re planning to hit more than a couple of National Parks, get a parks pass before you go to save you money – I-10 takes you right to Joshua Tree NP and Saguaro NP outside Tucson and then there’s the Everglades when you arrive. xxx
Ailsa, thanks for stopping by. It gave me an opportunity to explore your blog. Love it.
Thanks MaryLou, glad you enjoyed your visit!
Mine was a 30 day Amtrak trip across East West North South in the States! Because the train journeys in America are long, it often means you have to travel at crazy hours, having no choice but when the train gets to a station. Yea.. arriving in Pittsburgh at 4am and having to sleep over at the station was painful..
