During spring break, early March, we rented a car and drove South along the Atlantic Coast. This part of the US is fairly unknown (or unpopular?) to Europeans – a real shame, because even in the colder months of the year, there is quite a lot to see along the Pacific coast before you reach Georgia!
Our stops included (in chronological order):
- Ocean City, Maryland
- Outer Banks, North Carolina
- Savannah, Georgia
- Hilton Head, South Carolina
- Beaufort, South Carolina
- Charleston, South Carolina
- Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
- Georgetown, South Carolina
- Wilmington, North Carolina
- Beaufort, North Carolina
- Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia
- Annapolis, Maryland
… 2300 miles … in 7 days. OK, we admit, we underestimated the distances and we would not recommend you to repeat our mistake. After one week, we were exhausted! On the other hand, this was the ideal preparation for the 3 month road trip we are planning later this year.
Yes, you read it right, THREE WHOLE MONTHS! We will be travelling across North America, starting late May 2010 in Canada, flying to Texas, driving to Orlando, flying to Los Angeles, driving all the way up to Seattle, back down to Los Angeles via Denver to finally return to Belgium in late August 2010. The plan is to keep the folks back home updated as much as possible through this site – hoping to post a lot of pictures and some road stories.
I’ll be posting some highlight photos from our Pacific Coast road trip soon… so stay tuned!
