After a rough time at the Miami Airport Days Inn (see previous post), we finally got going at 1 PM. We attempted to see Miami itself, despite starting several hours later than hoped. This was a challenge as there is…
Day 74: Mile Zero and the Southernmost Point
We were a little worried the return would not be as good as going out. Obviously it never can be, but we still managed to find some new and unique things on the way back that we’d missed on the…
Day 73: The Florida Keys
Ever since we’d discussed moving to the US, Chris has wanted to drive the whole Florida Keys road. We have finally had the chance to do it and it was actually properly amazing – a dream come true and what…
Day 72 Part 2: Southern Florida
To make better time, we had to give a few things a miss that we would have normally done, like going to NASA, but I am sure we will be back to Florida even if we don’t move here, so…
Day 72 Part 1: Daytona Beach
We woke up to a beautiful day and had another dip in both the sea and the pool. Since it was a ‘proper’ hotel, they had a bit nicer breakfast as well (hot food beyond those waffle makers). We headed…
Day 71: The Florida Atlantic Coast
We went back to Jacksonville Beach on our way out of town as it was gloriously sunny day, which was great because it was Chris’s half birthday. We don’t normally celebrate that sort of thing, but given we spent our…
Day 70: Jacksonville, Florida
The next day we went into Jacksonville. Since it was a Sunday, we stopped by a church to speak to people. We met a lovely high church Anglican in sandals in a suburb. He told us that a good thing…
Day 69: Southern South Carolina & Savannah, Georgia
Before getting to Georgia, we stopped off at the Port Royal Sound Foundation, which is a maritime education center. We spoke to a very lovely woman with an excellent accent. She has one of those non-rhotic Southern accents like in films…
Day 68 Part 2: Beaufort, South Carolina
We carried on down the road so we could cross into Georgia the next day. We found some fairly mad and/or nice things along the way. We saw a sign for some peach cider (American meaning of cider, so non-alcoholic).…
Day 68 Part 1: Charleston, South Carolina
We spent most of the day in Charleston, South Carolina because it turned out to be absolutely fabulous and one of our top three cities so far. As soon as we got into town, we got some lunch. Everyone at…
