Day 11: New Orleans After a long drive, we arrived in New Orleans rather blearily eyed. From the first impression, it is full of graveyards; we passed lot of them on the route to our campsite. Sadly, I think they are after-effects of Hurricane Katrina. There were no pencilled crosses on them which are a mark of voodoo culture which I have expected to see because I visited the city when I was a teenager to see my Uncle Ben when he lived in New Orleans. We chec...

Day 10: The Sixth Floor Museum Today brings a first visit to a museum which is the first museum that we visit in this trip. The museum in the question is The Sixth Floor museum which documents JFK's assassination. I was excited for the trip; we drove to the museum, finding a car park was difficult because we had to drive through the city.

The shop itself was interesting because in England, when you wanted to try on a pair, you have to ask a c...

We stumbled out of our campervan slightly dishevelled as we have earlier mutually decided not to use campervans shower as it wasted fresh water which are better ...

Day 7: Grand Canyon The stop for today is Grand Canyon which was one of sights that I was looking forward to see the most. On the way to there, Stuart even allowed Julie to drive briefly and Julie did well. We stopped by a petrol station and I asked the clerk where to buy chemical tablets, luckily he was able to provide directions to the store. We stopped by the store which was a souvenir shop so everyone enjoyed themselves browsing while I finally located pesk...
