It feels like we are on a music tour of the USA as we arrive in Nashville. The campground we are in has live music here every night. After settling in we headed up to the Lodge for a few hours of live music. It was Joey Boone that was playing and he was good. …
We came to Chattanooga as it was close to Old Car City and we thought we could do both at the same time. As I said in my last blog, there were a couple of places that were priorities to visit. One of these is Old Car City in White, Georgia. After Muscle Shoals, Chattanooga …
Before we left NZ we were often asked where we were going to visit on this trip. We had a list of the usual places like New York, Washington DC, New Orleans and Nashville but right at the top were a couple of places many have not heard about. One of these was Muscle Shoals. …
Before we left Little Rock we were told we would be travelling along Highway 40, one of “the” busiest trucking roads in the US. Well they weren’t wrong. We calculated that there were approximately 5 trucks for every car on the road. Wow what a busy road. I have to admit to being a tad …
Little Rock, where all the roads meet, ot at least that is what it looks like when you see it on the map. Our visit to Little Rock was to catch up with an school friend I haven’t seen since school days, otherwise we would probably have given this city a miss, and how stupid …
We made a brief overnight stay in Leland just out of Greenville Mississippi on our way up to Little Rock, Arkansas, where we were heading to catch up with an old school friend.

The decision to head north wasn’t an easy one. We are having so much fun way down here in the south, but with our return to New Zealand in the back of our mind, we really had to make some decisions as to where we want to end our trip. So, with that in mind, …
New Orleans; NOLA, The Big Easy, The Crescent City, The City that Care Forgot, Paris of the South or Hollywood South. The town was settled in 1718 by a Frenchman, Jean Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville on a sharp bend in the Mississippi River and what a colourful history it has had. It has …
Leaving Savannah I thought would be hard, but actually, I am finding that come the 4th day in one place my feet are itching to move on, even if we haven’t seen all we would like to. I wonder occasionally if we have done this trip the right way. Perhaps we should have done the …
I kind of feel that the last few blogs have been full on history lessons. Well I hope this one won’t be as lecture-ish. Everyone one has told us that if we could get there, Savannah was a must, so we were excited to be heading to this city. We took another Free Tour by …
