Quote:Hi all,


After over three years of being engaged, the wife-to-be and I have decided that for the money we could spend on a single wedding day over here, we could have a blow out two week vacation in the states with a cheap and tacky Vegas wedding followed by a trip across America.


No dates or events set in stone yet, but the initial outline would be 4 or 5 days in Vegas with a very long road trip to Florida finishing with a Jags at the bank.


We'd like some suggestions on things we must see/do and place we should stop at along our way. The only stop that is pretty much certain is a trip to Memphis as the fiancée and her mom are Elvis fans.

We may just end up flying from Vegas to Florida but the idea of spending a night or two in a couple of different cities would be an adventure of a lifetime

 

That would be very wise.  That would be a long and boring 2,400 mile drive and there's not many places to hit on the way.  You'd be better off flying into Florida and taking full advantage of seeing Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville if possible. 

 

The only places that I'd recommend driving instead of flying is if you were to go up or down 1 of our coastlines East Coast->  Boston-NYC-Philadelphia-DC ....or....  West Coast -> San Francisco-LA-San Diego.
