Day 2 Sett off from Union City headed for Montgomery, Alabama. We decided not to use the main freeway but travel the 160 miles or so using the old highway. What a good choice that tuned out to be. Probably an hour or so longer but through lovely countryside. We changed time zones as we crossed the stateline into Alabama and only noticed when we checked to see our arrival time. Stopped for lunch at The General's Diner in New Site and it was excellent. Arrive...

First day over now. All shattered. Not sure if it's the travelling, the 5 hours time difference or the two and a half hour queue to get through immigration! Anyway, we got to the hotel eventually and made our first trip to Walmart. Something to eat in the cafe in the photo (Swai fish for me?) Nighty night all

Ok, So our next trip starts in 8 days when we fly to Atlanta, Georgia. The loose route at the moment takes in Montgomery, New Orleans, Natchez, Clarksdale, Memphis, Nashville, The Smoky Mountains then back to Atlanta. I'll try to log in most days with our thoughts and maybe a few photos and musical clues ( spot the songs ) Cheers to all
