Day 92 - Thursday 25 July


We've arrived home in Melbourne.


What a Great (Rosen Road) Trip!

** We were away for 92 days (including 2 flying days).

** We had 4 flights - Melbourne-LA-Atlanta-New Orleans, then LA-Melbourne - over 28,000 kilometres (17,000 miles).

** We drove over 21,000 kilometres (13,000 miles).

** We drove through 29 US and 1 Canadian State (we've now driven through 43 US states!)

** We completed 3 major objectives of the GRR, which were:
      -  indulging in music, which included the New Orleans Jazzfest, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers concert, the Blues Music Awards, etc, etc
      -  visited numerous Frank Lloyd Wright-designed buildings, highlighted by Fallingwater
      -  completed some spectacular drives, including Route 66, the Blue Ridge Skyline Parkway, Vermont's Route 100, Arizona's Highway 89A, Monument Valley, etc, etc.

*** And most importantly, we caught up with our great friends, namely (in chronological order)):

      - Trevor Leeden, and his friends, Mark & Julie, Jen and Lee
      - Jo, Pete and Shona, and their lovely St Louisan friends
      - my cousins, Lena, Berny, Maria and Lovisa
      - Abigail, Andrew, Amelia and Asher
      - Lee
      - our goddaughter, Nicole

Signing off now - thank you for keeping up with us.
