So its a short hop across land to the west coast and american airlines flight to LA. Collected another hire car from down town and much to my delight this car has "never lost" sat nav (bonus). Our first 4 nights are in mission bay a small town outside of san diego! Our first stop was to get some lunch as we were both starving having no food on our 5 hour flight! Stopped in a small town called Carlsbad, about 1 hour from downtown LA. We had met a ar...

Miami baby!!! Booked the hotel with a website called hotwire which gives you a good price but you dont know where your staying until its booked and they send an email with your hotel.

Next stop in the deep south in the old quaint town of Charleston! Have to say this was one of the places we both really wanted to see and i can easily say it did not disappoint! It is the most beautiful and well preserved towns i have ever seen! Lots of the buildings date back to the 16th and 17th century and it is all still immaculately preserved and maintained! We arrived about lunch time and the sun was shining so we found our way to the visitor centre got a m...
