Southern States Tour, 2012.
These articles are all about the escorted tour of the Southern states of America I did in 2012 with my Uncle Dave. The articles are about the places we stayed, the things we did, and the places we visited. We flew into Los Angeles in California and travelled by coach eastwards across the southern states of America. We went through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. After we finished the escorted tour, we flew to New York and spent a few days there before returning to England.
I had visited the Cape Kennedy Space Centre in Florida many times, but this was my first trip to the Houston Space Centre. Although there is more to see at the Kennedy Space Centre, I preferred seeing the command centre in Houston.

We toured around the swamp in the Atchafalaya Basin on a small boat made for about 2 dozen people. We saw hundreds of alligators our tour guide threw food to, getting them to come closer for our photos.

I went to Atlanta, Georgia, as part of my Southern States tour in 2012. As well as looking at many of the large homes in Atlanta, we also visited the CNN Centre and the Martin Luther King Memorial Visitor Centre.

Jekyll Island was beautiful, and if I ever win the lottery, I may buy a home there. The homes are all built on large plots of land and have beautiful, lush green surroundings. The beach was beautiful, and I enjoyed watching the deer playing in the dunes as I went for a sunrise swim in the Atlantic.

We stayed in Savannah for two nights. After we took a guided tour of Savannah in an electric tram, I went on a Segway tour of the Historic District and walked around the River Street area.
