A four and a half thousand mile motorcycle trip from Austin, through New Orleans, out to the end of US 1 in Key West, and up the coast as far north as Charleston, SC. Heading inland, I passed through Atlanta and Memphis, and visited one of the oldest of the National Parks.

Highlights included eating in New Orleans, visiting the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg FL, seeing lots of wildlife in the Everglades, snorkeling off of Key Largo, eating a Cuban Sandwich in Miami, seeing Space Shuttle Atlantis at the Kennedy Space Center, going on a walking tour of old Savannah, seeing whale sharks at the Georgia Aquarium, eating BBQ in Memphis, and visiting Hot Springs National Park.
