Hi Y'all
I have decided to create this blog to record my recent, amazing adventures in the USA. This took place in May/June 2011, when my friend Cameron & I traveled through 7 states on a three week "road trip". Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Colorado & Nevada, a big circle starting and ending in Dallas, Texas.
We spent a fair bit of time on the famous "Route 66" - or what is left of it - and took other roads and routes to explore off the track places and also some big cities.
We basically hired a car and just drove, with only a few hotels pre-booked along the way.
It was soon obvious that we had fallen in love with small-town USA, and the natural wonders of this breath-taking part of the world. From the deserts , plains/prairies, canyons, rivers, mountains, forests, ghost towns and wide open roads. But you will see this as you join me in reliving my journey.
This was probably the best holiday I have ever had. Many life-long dreams were realised and I am already yearning to go back. (I believe this is a common symptom of post-holiday blues.) This was my first proper holiday since 1998, but I had already planned much of it in my "dreams" since I was a little girl in the 1960s.
So please, come along for the ride, and enjoy!!!
NB: Please ignore the dates at the top of each post, and in the Archives listings. -- I had to change them for some reason to make this blog go in the right order. Otherwise it would be going backwards. Oh, and the " Older Posts " link near the bottom of the page is what you click on to see newer posts.OK.?? I wish they would sort this out!!
I would also like to thank Cameron Wright for getting me around so safely in our great little car - a Mazda 3. We really had NO bad incidences. Cameron was great through incredible downpours, dense sand storms, and of course, all on the "other" side of the road.
ReplyDeleteoh well done Deb!!! It's always been a dream of mine to see some of Route 66 before it simply deacays into nothing and yur trip has inspired me - even us lot at our, ahem, advanced age, can still follow the dream.
