Success Stories
My best mate and I did massive road trip. We started in New Jersey and drove down through Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia into Alabama. Across Louisiana and Mississippi into Texas, down to Mexico, up through New Mexico, Arizona and into Nevada. Took in the sights in California , then north through Oregon and Washington finishing in Vancouver Canada. Thousands of miles and so many sights. My friend and i did it on a shoestring budget, using a drive away service where we relocated cars from city to city. We also made sure we stopped on a University Campus each time we were in a city, we would find a college bar and start drinking, sure enough by the end of the night we found a bed for the night (someone was always happy to help out a travelling Aussie). One night in Jackson Mississippi we were unable to get a bed, so we slept in the car....not a good idea as the local sheriff knocked on our window at about 4 in the morning with his gun drawn. He thought we were some sort of drug smugglers as the car was not registered due to us relocating it. After a discussion in the freezing cold night air he eventually let us go. Highlights of the trip are Dallas, Mexico and Oregon (it was so beautiful)
