London to Knoxville, Tennessee It began with a ride in the back of an Uber to London Heathrow after three hours sleep the night before sorting out last minute things for work, and hastily packing […]
Knoxville, Tennessee to Charleston, South Carolina (and back) Best laid plans From Knoxville it is around six hours to the Port of Charleston, South Carolina, where the car was to be collected from. Originally we’d […]
Loudon, Tennessee Months of planning have gone into this trip, yet here I was, on the eve of setting off across America busy trying to organise things. Driving around to find a Walmart or Target […]
Knoxville to Nashville, Tennessee and onto Kansas City, Missouri The start of our road trip proper and one of the days I’d been looking forward to most. We have two days hauling to do covering […]
We’re starting to realise first days of this trip are challenging. They are perhaps closer to an expedition or rally than a vacation. When we first sat down and tried to map out a route […]
I was sipping margarita when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray! Yesterday was tough, a much longer day than expected. A late start, detours and bad weather denied us our chance to […]
Denver, Colorado to Santa Fe, New Mexico It is just a few short hours we’ve been in Denver not counting the ones spent sleeping, yet it feels like we’ve been here longer given the amount […]
*This post is not about Texas. And we were not murdered in our beds. The oldest church in America, the San Miguel Chapel dating back to the early 1600s, is in Santa Fe – things […]

Palm Springs, California Vista Las Palmas We’ve been here a while now – a halfway stop if you will. It’s like a holiday in the middle of our adventure. We figured nine days would be […]
Palm Springs, California (and nearby areas) The 993 was dropped off at Porsche Palm Springs the Monday morning after we arrived. 30 minutes later it was in the air and team of people who know […]
Slab city, California to Tucson, Arizona Neither of us wanted to leave Palm Springs, we even tried to extend it but sadly there were people coming in behind us. One last swim in the pool […]
Tucson, Arizona There are good reasons to visit Tucson but none more so for me than it being home to the Pima Air and Space Museum – the only airplane boneyard tourists (like us) can […]
Arizona to Texas Checking out of the Downtown Clifton in Tuscon, I showed the guy on the desk our map and asked advice on whether we should take Highway 83 through the Santa Rita Foothills […]
Big Bend National Park, Texas More national parking. Big Bend in Texas sat right on our doorstep for a couple of days. Initially, we’d looked at staying in Big Bend National Park but options are […]
Marfa and Valentine, Texas West Texas, a landscape straight out of No Country for Old Men. 60 miles or less from Mexico and aside from the beauty of the desert, a never ending sky and […]
Marfa to Comstock, and onto Austin, Texas Goose Snow Cone Most song lyrics we can work out a meaning to, whether it is the actual meaning the writer intended or something we read into it. […]
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee New Orleans, Louisiana With time closing in on our road trip, we left Texas behind and headed to Louisiana. In terms of driving there really wasn’t anything to write. Leaving […]
