Welcome to our travel blog, on this travel blog we are going on a road trip in the USA. We are going to drive from Los Angeles to Orlando!

Let's go back in time a bit.....

It's September/October 2019, we just started to plan a road trip to drive from Los Angeles to Orlando, coast to coast and also Disneyland to Disney World (which we are most excited about of course!). 

We'd booked everything, flights, hotels, car rental and we were very excited. Then just a couple of months before we were supposed to go on the trip COVID-19 hit.

In 2020 it wasn't possible to go over to the USA, so we took a trip to Germany. In 2021 we were too anxious to go over, so we decided to take a holiday in Germany and The Netherlands. Also, Joanne and Emma got to go over to Scotland for the first time in a year and a half. 

In the mean time, we've re-planned the whole trip yet again, the flights, hotels and the car rental. Planning the trip again was a bit easier, because we'd spent a lot of time before planning the trip. 

We think that we've got a great mixture of places where we'll stay during our trip, for example we're staying in motels on Route 66, a horse ranch in Texas, on the beach in Florida and at the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley we're staying in the National Park itself. 

In total we're planning to drive almost 5000 kilometers, through 8 different states (California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida), also we will be driving through 4 different time zones.

On average we'll be driving 3 to 4 hours per day, along the way we're planning to stop frequently. Of course, there will always be some parts of the journey where there is less to see or do, but on the whole we're very excited for this trip and we're keeping our fingers crossed that we'll be able to go!
