Hello everyone......

Well, we've finally finished our blog from the USA!

What a trip! We hired a car (Charlie the Chevrolet) and spent 6 weeks driving 7,000 miles across the states from LA to New York, with a few diversions along the way.

We had the most amazing time in the USA - it was a million times better than we expected. What a country! We spent most nights in countless Motels along the way and managed to dodge most of the fast food joints which are absolutely everywhere - although eating a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Kentucky was pretty cool!

The scenery blew us away - from Yosemite, to the Grand Canyon and the Blue Ridge Mountains just to name a few. Driving along Route 66 was definitely one of the highlights! When we arrived in New York we met up with Karen's Mum, Dad, sister and brother in-law and spent a week sightseeing with them, before our six month journey finally came to an end :-(

Our photos will guide you through our trip pretty well.......................so enjoy!!

Love to all.

Mikey and Kaz (the returned travellers).

PS - thanks to everyone who read our blogs along the way - we hope you enjoyed them and they kept you up to date with our trip of a lifetime. If we could do it all over again.............WE WOULD!!

AMAZING!!
I gotta say Karen I am absolutely astounded at the places you guys have been! I hadn't heard anything for a while and thought you'd finished only to hear you've done 6 WEEKS across state driving! I just hope that one day I'll get the opportunity to experience it. Make sure you never forget it because I won't be! :) Continue having fun!
