Miles: 10,443
We made it! And, importantly, the Avalon did too!
The last two months have flown by for us: we drove more than 10,000 miles across the country and back, celebrated four weddings with family and friends, saw some amazing sights (and took some incredible pictures), ate some great food, drank delicious drinks, and even made it to Sarah's first SEC football game!
We always wanted to allocate some time in our year-long journey to seeing the US and we are so glad we did. There are so many beautiful places across the country and we'd highly encourage you to check out our favorite spots (in no particular order): Jackson Hole, WY; Grand Teton National Park; Sedona, AZ; Grand Canyon National Park; Monument Valley, AZ; and White Sands National Monument. Not only were these places magical to visit, we walked away with some of our best pictures of the trip so far! You can check out our USA gallery here.
Thank you very much to all our hosts along our journey. Half the fun of seeing the US has been catching up with you along the way and we'll miss you while we're abroad!
Tomorrow we fly to Japan to begin the next eight months of our journey! It's a six-hour flight to LA then another 11 hours to Tokyo - good thing we each have about five books to choose from to keep us occupied! See you in June, USA!
