Hi everyone So after 7 months I’m writing my last blog. I’m going to keep this one short as I’m sure most of you are tired of reading my blogs. It’s been an incredible adventure and we’ve seen some of the most amazing places in the world but nothing lasts forever and it’s time to come home. Our flight leaves tomorrow afternoon and we’ll be in London on Wednesday morning, which still doesn’t feel real. Anyway, let me tell you about our last few d...

Hello people Bet you are all delirious with excitement at the thought of me being home in a few days aren’t you?! Nope? Today’s blog will take us from Myrtle Beach, Virginia, to New York – our last stop. After leaving Colonial Williamsburg we drove south east to Myrtle Beach.

The day after Oregon Caves we took a scenic drive over to Crater Lake, one of Oregon’s famous landmarks...

Hello again, this time from Oregon. Today we’ve been to Crater Lake, which was just beautiful, but more about that later. I’m going to start this blog on the day we left Las Vegas on June 2nd and headed into Arizona, to the Grand Canyon. To sum up the Grand Canyon in one word would be huge.
