My husband and I came to Austin last September from Korea and have stayed here for 5 months. Before we came here, we have one wish which we can do only in the United States. That is Trascontinental travel!!! South Korea is such a small country as compared to the United States that it only takes about 5 hours to cross the country from West to East and 6 hours from North to South by car. We wanted to feel the vast of land in the United States, one of the largest country in the world.
In the mean time, we got a chance to realize our dream finally. My husband’s aunt in Washington D.C. invited us for Chirstmas and New Year’s holiday and we decided to go there by car not by flight. Although it is only half of the entire length of the continent from Austin to Washington D.C., it was enough to experience the vastness of the United States.

We traveled to Washington D.C. by car and it took two weeks for us to come back to our home in Austin. During the trip, we stepped on 11 different states: Texas, Louisiana, Missisippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Tenesse, Alkansas, and Texas again, stayed in six cities: New Orleans, Jacksonville, Charleston, Fairfax (surburb of Washington D.C.), New Port News and Dickson, and total distance we traveled was about 3,900 mile. That was longest travel in my life. Some details of this exciting travel will be posted in this blog.
Woooow! :D
ReplyDeleteI envy you a lot! :D One of my dreams is that, travel around one country by car and just stop in every town or place I can find, I think it is excited, but tired. I mean I really do not care because it means an adventure! :D

wow. I just wonder your car, nothing problem? actually, my family went to trip from Austin to Florida by our car, too. it was really long long driving. it took a almost 20 hours. how about Austin to Washington D.C.? you guys were so brave. I think you guys could try to go to other side of America such as Grand Canyon and San Diego. thoes places are so beautiful. haowever, not summer. maybe early May is fine. let talk about later.
