What a Great (Rosen Road) Trip!

** 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.
