My Cross Country Trek Across America!

I've been blogging with Tumblr to post photos from my month-long trip to the USA, which started in Boston and ended in LA and included the three-week Trek America Cross Country BLT (SNB) tour. You can see my photos on my Tumblr trip blog

I'm back home, for now but I've stil got plenty of photos to upload and remind me of the amazing time we had! :-)

My next American Adventure

I recently booked the Cross Country BLT (SNB) with Trek America. This starts in NYC and ends in LA (but also operates in reverse), with 3 weeks travelling across the USA via the Southern States. I'm taking a month off work and I might head to Boston first for a couple of days, as I've not made it there yet. The route of the trek is shown below (image courtesy of Trek America):

I've already travelled to quite a few places on this itinerary but I'm really excited to go back to those places and I've always wanted to travel coast to coast - this way I get to do it without worrying about how I'm getting from one place to the next and having already travelled with Trek America a few times, I know it's going to be so much fun! :-)

Included highlights

Some of the planned activities include:

# Evening illumination tour of Washington DC monuments
# Awesome scenic walks and hikes
# Tour of the Vegas Strip
# Sightseeing in Nashville, Memphis, Austin and San Diego
# National Parks and Monuments, including Carlsbad Caverns, Monument Valley and the good ole Grand Canyon!

Optional activities

I've already done a few of the optional activities listed on this itinerary on previous trips to the States, but there are some new experiences, including a trip to Graceland - who doesn't want to go visit the King's place?! I'm not a massive Elvis fan but there's no denying he was an absolute legend!
