Me and my friend from England hit the road for a 6,000+ mile long road trip starting in New York City to Chicago via Toronto, then down to Nashville, through Texas and out to New Orleans just in time for Mardi Gras, then off to Miami before heading back up to NYC. Such a fun trip!

07:38am: Niagara Falls, Canada.

Rolling into Toronto, Canada.

Chicago was freezing cold and snowing. Was glad to hit the road south.

Nashville, Tennessee: If you’re a music head and you’re in Nashville, you have to visit Ernest Tubb’s record store!

Dallas was cool. X marks the spot where JFK got assassinated, allegedly.

I couldn’t have visited Texas and not visited the grave of one of the greatest guitar players ever.

I’m a massive fan of the TV show Fixer Upper so it was absolutely essential we made a visit to Waco to check out all the Magnolia stores and restaurants. That power couple single handedly raised Waco from obscurity to a nationwide sensation. Every town needs a Chip & Joanna!

Austin was cool.

By this point, we had smashed off about 3,500 miles in a 5 days. We were pretty exhausted but arrived in New Orleans, Lousiana just in time for Mardi Gras 2020. ‘Twas as experience to say the least.

Sunset in Clearwater, Florida. The sands were so white and clean!

By the time we got to Miami, we just sat on the beach and drank beers all day. Relaxation time was needed.

A view of lower Manhattan from the Staten Island ferry. 6,000 miles done. More of the world seen. Next.
