A sign of things to come

Well, the idea behind having yet another blog, is to collate all my experience in all the cities that we plan on visiting over the summer, if it happens.

The trip will be pretty complicated, and we'll only have a month, which isn't a long time to visit America.

We'll probably start in Edmonton, go across to Vancouver, down past Seattle (Microsoft, yay!), then to San Francisco (Apple, yay!), down to Los Angeles, across to Las Vegas, then off across to the other side of America and up the east cost passing through Washington D.C., New York finally ending up in Toronto, maybe going to Montreal, and then finally back in Edmonton and back to England.

It will be a difficult journey, and already speaking to the Americans I know, they've said it'll be hard to fit into a month, but I feel that we'll be able to do it.
We'll have between 2 and 4 drivers on board at all times, but then we will be looking after 6+ kids (including me...) at the same time.

Even if we have to cut the journey short, I still think that we'll still enjoy America.
If anyone has any comments about sites or ideas about journey plans, let me know.

If it does go ahead, I want it to be the best experience possible.

Shafiq.
