I know, I know, it’s another one of Melise’s overseas holidays.. “So you’ve left the country again?” [YES] Aren’t you sick of the Sates?” [NO] There’s just something about America that leaves us wanting more! This time around I found myself reaching for my camera a little less and taking everything in, it was great for the soul.

LOS ANGELES
Travel tip: If you have Los Angeles and Las Vegas on your to do list, hire a car to drive route 66, it’s amazing and eye opening and you won’t see those amazing desert sites anywhere else (unless you are planning a trip to the desert that is.)

We detoured to explore a small town called Cabazon and stopped to see the [abandoned-ish] dinosaur park- home to the world’s biggest dinosaurs, it was a favourite of mine.

LAS VEGAS

NASHVILLE

ATLANTA, GEORGIA

This time around Atlanta, Georgia was a favourite and somewhere we would have liked to stay longer to explore, there is SO much to do there!

General travel tip: If you can, download and use UBER (a ride share app), it saved us a lot of money using this instead of paying for taxis!

Lots of bacon, burgers, ribs and gelato was consumed and we had a great trip, though nothing beats that that feeling of coming home.
