Southern States of America.
These articles are all about the escorted tour of the Southern states of America that I did in 2012 with my Uncle Dave. The articles are about the places we stayed, the things we did & the places we visited. We flew into Los Angeles in California & travelled by coach eastwards back across the southern states of America. We went through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Missippii, Alabama, Florida, & Georgia. After we finished the escorted tour we flew to New York & spent a few days there before returning to England.
I took my Uncle Dave with me to America in 2012. This would be his first visit to most of the places we would visit. The tour started with a few nights at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles.

We didn't spend much time at San Diego Zoo and for that I was grateful. At the time of our visit, the zoo was looking very old and in my opinion, needs closing down.

I had visited the Cape Kennedy Space Center in Florida many times, but this was my first trip to the Houston Space Center. Although there is more to see at the Kennedy Space Center, I preferred seeing the command centre in Houston.
