Trip Summary
June 12 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Time to lay out a bit of a trip summary to preserve into history. 😂
After so many trips to the USA and abroad generally, this trip will be one to remember with the assistance of the final trip album once completed.
It was all driven by COVID, which stopped us from our usual annual overseas trips, and having not seen our beautiful girl for nearly 2 1/2 years.
The idea of the RV road trip came about due to the enjoyment of our previous one 6 years earlier. The 2 areas we have not seen were the SE and the NW, so it could have been either one, but ultimately after chatting with Bec she felt beaches and warmth were the job after a bitterly cold winter in Pennsylvania.
So the decision was made, now to find the rig. A website RVshare provided what we needed and a great negotiated rate gave us the rig we used.
Travelling from the NE right down the coast saw us cross 20 borders travelling through 15 states. Down to the lowest tip of the USA across to New Orleans, and back up through Nashville and the Shenandoah Valley.
The sites, the cultures, the accents, and the shift in weather made for a stunning trip, one to remember.
Trip now done all too quick, and discussions have been had with the RV owner to allow us an extended 6 months or longer trip in the near future.
Cannot wait.Read more

Take off from JFK
June 10 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 19 °C
Take off was little bumpy with strong winds but a clear night for some great shots. Disappointed that we got no aerial of Manhattan as we took off and turned NE. Our flight took us across the top of the Atlantic and Europe, Iran, India and into Singapore. Never been that route before.Read more

Departure JFK, NY
June 9 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
Well it’s that time again when we have to go through the torture of masks on our faces to protect us from the virus we’ve supposedly been vaccinated against, one day logic is going to return to the real world if the real world ever gets a chance to exist again. 18.75 hours from now we will hit Singapore, ok we’ll preferably land in Singapore not hit it. 😂. We’re maxed out on our luggage capacity as we came with 2 cases and returning with 4, all maxed out to the 23kg. 2 were Bec’s in anticipation that she would get the new AIS Melbourne gig, so it helped getting some of her stuff home.
As far as an airport experience, it has been the worst airport checkin and departure I have experienced. Sorry to say it, but JFK is staffed by clowns.Read more

Stopped into the Brooklyn area for a coffee and traditional baked New York Cheese cake, stunning.
Sue’s eyes show her delight in something she hasn’t had in over 40 years. I must admit it was fantastic.
Now time to fuel up the car and make it to the airport, although it will be a long wait as our timing got us back here sooner than expected.Read more

Here I was trying to do the right thing and do as the locals do. I waited and waited but no employees came to wash my hands. 😂

As The Sun Sets
June 8 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
As the Sun Sets over Atlantic City we prepare for our last night in the USA. Tomorrow we make our way back up to New York JFK for the flights home. Unfortunately this trip we haven’t missed home at all, and could easily have just continued on as we were. Alas, circumstances don’t allow it.Read more

Time for a Guinness
June 8 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
After a long day walking the boardwalks at both Ocean City and Atlantic City we decided to close out the day with a trip on the Steel Pier Ferris Wheel and then to the Irish Pub and finally, an ice cold Guinness.
We’ve done ice creams, and the famous Crab Fries, see the video. At the Irish Pub we finally decided to have Crab Cakes and were not disappointed.
Don’t know how many miles we’ve walked but done wonders for me as you can see in my pic attached.Read more
