The Sunshine State!

Big news on this update - we've made it to 10 thousand miles!!!

We left Washington and headed to West Virginia, we stayed at a place just outside Charleston - there weren't many RV parks but we eventually found one that suited our needs. We then had a couple of days of hardcore driving down to Florida, we drove across to Ohio then down through Kentucky, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and Georgia.

We stopped in Georgia to go to another outlet mall - these places are awesome - they're big brand stores (Nike, A+F, GUESS etc) but with ridiculously low prices, we did some more shopping here, probably spent a bit much but I managed to get a fair few presents for the folks back home.

I think it was a total of 1100 milles, we arrived in Florida yesterday. We stayed in a town called White Springs before driving down to Tampa today. "The Sunshine State" is certainly living up to it's nickname, the weather has been perfect from the moment we crossed the border.

The drive to Tampa was uneventful and about 3 hours in length. We've staying in a place called Dunedin, about 5 mins from the beach. The resort is quality; it's quiet, no kids and the amenities are clean and modern. The first thing we did was take a dip in the pool! It was good fun and we'll definitely be going in again! Tomorrow we're heading to Busch Gardens for the day, after which we'll go out for some food and a couple of beers, then go to see the new Tarantino movie.

On Saturday we'll be heading to Caladesi Island, home of the best beach in the USA! (according to numerous polls) From the pictures it looks like a tropical island that belongs in the Bahamas. You can't drive to it so you have to get a ferry, luckily we're 5 mins from the ferry pickup point.

After Florida we'll be heading to New Orleans ( Home of Southern Comfort :-D) for a couple of days.

We've also managed to get tickets to 2 more Blink 182 gigs. We've got pit tickets for the gig in St Louis and seated tickets for the gig in Irvine, CA. It's going to be mental! The first one we saw was amazing and we can't wait to see them again!

All in all, we've got a shedload to look forward to in our last month in the US!
