Planning my Coast-to-Coast Nation-Wide Road Trip!

in #travel7 years ago

My girlfriend Joelle, and I will be embarking on a trek across the USA starting July 29. We will be on the road for about 2-3 weeks, making stays in Jacksonville, FL with family and friends, as well as a long stay in Hollywood, CA with a very good friend. We will be passing through and stopping at many major US cities along the way. I have started to map out our route on Mapquest.com using their multi-stop route planner.

This trip will probably run about 7,000+ miles on to my car, thankfully I just got new tires!

We will be passing through/stopping at the following US cities:

You have family in Jacksonville? Which part? I grew up on the westside and all my family is still there. Enjoy the road trip! Looks like it'll be a blast.

Thanks! And to be honest I have no idea where they live. My cousin and my gf's cousin both moved down there not too long ago so I've never visited. My buddy that lives there said he lives right downtown but who knows where that is hahah. I'll let you know when I'm down there! And yeah I do need my passport ASAP

Looks like an awesome trip with some epic stops along the way! A good pre-game for Lisbon ;)

One hell of a pregame... I have to get my passport!!

You should have your passport no matter what! Get it ASAP!!

Get on that tomorrow! Fairly simple (just costs money)

Nice Plan.. I hope to execute it in couple years.. :)

Awesome! You definitely should! Where are you from?

Minneapolis,MN
