Today will be the final push to LA, Jo want to get up and leave at 5.00 as in our real time that will be 7.00. Yes we have found both the hours we lost on the way out to Kentucky. The problem with that is we will arrive at LAX before lunch and our flight isn’t until 10.00 pm.

As it is we leave before 8.00 and already Google is saying there is at least 30 mins delay.

As it turns out google is wrong and we head off to the beach for a stroll before returning the car.

There in is another thing for Jo to worry about. Part of our deal was a free wifi enabled tablet, that gave us calls and a wifi hotspot. This was because we had spent over £500 ordering it in the uk. Will they charge us for the unit as we are returning the car early and will be under the required spend.

All turned out ok in the end we weren’t charged for the unit.

And another long drive today, the last hopefully. Final stop is Kingman AZ, tomorrow it’s LA and then a flight home.

To break the trip up we ‘stood on the corner of Winslow Arizona’

And are now sat infront of the fire at our hotel.

Oh, Jo played me a tune as well.

A short drive today as we finally reached Greensburg KY. We drove to the cabins to see what they were like, then went to the city hall to make our booking.

The cabin came complete with air con and a smell of wet dog. Hopefully it’s only on the porch.

After unloading the car we drive round to Ro’s. We have become Americanised as it’s next door to where we are staying. So it was out the drive from the cabin and a u-turn on the road and up the next drive.

We found apartment 2 and I knocked on the door, no reply. I tried again, still no reply. So we head back to the car we discovered that I had been knocking at the wrong door. Luckily we didn’t disturb anyone.

We spent the afternoon and evening chatting to Ro, Larry and Mel.

After several days of driving we have finally decided to stop for the night and to go out on the town. Luckily we have stopped in Nashville.

The main street is one long row of bars each one having a different sound resonating from it, one even had a barbers chair.

After several drinks and a meal we weaved our way back to the hotel.

Another full day of driving. Found an hotel for the evening and asked about the local restaurant. They said it was quite good and informed would need to drive.

We drove out the carpark turning left, drove one block to a mainish road and the restaurant was there, Right in front of us.

After a lot of umming and ahhing we finally decided to miss out New Orleans and to head straight to Kentucky. We stopped off at Waco to see some Mammoths. Petrified as they weren’t fossils. Also stopped off at a ‘ghost town’ at Guene, but there were too many people about and the ghosts didn’t appear.

Again we are driving through Texas, will this state ever end.

Whilst driving along minding my own business what looked like a plastic bag suddenly lifted up off the ground and in a swirling motion rose into the air. The next second the car shook and the bonnet vibrated, looking as if it was about to burst open. Then just as it suddenly started it was all over.

The only thing I can think was that it was a mini tornado. We check the dash cam at our hotel, but again it missed the action. Was this just another coincident or are they trying to take us out after seeing their secret rocket.

Well here’s today’s route for anyone is following us.
