These articles are all about the escorted tour of the southern states of America that I did in 2012 with my Uncle Dave. It is about the places we stayed, the things we did & the places we visited. After we finished the escorted tour we flew to New York & spent a few days there before returning to England. Many of these articles will also include photographs of the places we went to.
Los Angeles.
Los Angeles was our first stop on our tour of the Southern States of America in 2012. I took my Uncle Dave with me, this would be his first visit to the majority of places we would go. We spent a few nights in the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles.

Exploring New York.
When I booked my Southern States trip I added an extra few days on to the tour to spend a few days looking around New York before flying home. I have not always enjoyed the time I spent in New York but I did enjoy my trip there this time. I saw a lot more of New York & it has made me want to visit again in the future.

Mission San Xavier del Bac
I visited the Mission San Xavier del Bac near Tucson in 2012 as part of an escorted coach trip. It was a very interesting building & well worth a visit if you are in the Tucson, Arizona area.

The Alamo, San Antonio, Texas.
I went to the Alamo with my Uncle Dave whilst we were staying in San Antonio, Texas on our Southern States Tour in 2012. I thought it was a fantastic place & would have liked to have spent more time there. We had a guide who was telling us a story in the outside garden area. It was very informative but he told it in a humorous way that had us all in fits of laughter. I would love to visit again someday.

I went to the Houston Space Center as part of my Southern States tour in 2012. I had been to the Cape Kennedy Space Center in Florida many times but this was my first trip here. I think there is more to see at the Kennedy Space Center but I prefered seeing the command centre at Houston.

New Orleans.
In 2012 on my Southern States tour I spent a few nights in New Orleans, in the French Quarter on Royal Street. I had a look around a lot of New Orleans on different types of sight seeing trips, including a coach tour, a segway tour & just walking around with my Uncle Dave.

Jekyll Island.
I spent one night at Jekyll Island on my tour of the Southern States of America in 2012. It was a beautiful place & if I ever win the lottery I may well buy a home there. The homes are all built on large plots of land & have beautiful lush green surroundings. The beach was beautiful & I enjoyed watching the deer playing in the sand dunes as I went for a sunrise swim in the Atlantic.
