48 hours in Boston.

Posted on January 21, 2017 by emmalouiseclarke Posted in City Breaks, East Coast, Massachussetts, New England .

Share this:Boston. One of America’s most famous cities, home to Harvard University, some of the country’s richest history and the largest city in New England, it makes sense to start a tour of the North East region here. We arrived in early May – an unseasonably hot day, there was an air of happiness with

New York Take 2: Lessons from the same place, at a different pace

Posted on January 14, 2017 by emmalouiseclarke Posted in City Breaks, East Coast, New York .

Share this:Having been to New York in 2015 (you can read about that trip in another post), and uttering the words, “Mum would hate it here”, I decided a trip to New York with my Mum would be a great plan. We discovered around 2 years ago that Mum had 1st cousins living in Connecticut

2 nights in New York: Seeing the sights when time is tight

Posted on January 8, 2017 by emmalouiseclarke Posted in City Breaks, East Coast, New York .

Share this: The infamous skyline appeared over the horizon as we approached the Lincoln Tunnel, and excitement welled up within me. I was filled with anticipation at what the city had in store for us but we only had 2 nights, which is NOT long enough to see New York in all its splendour. This

There’s something about spring in New England

Posted on July 2, 2015 by emmalouiseclarke Posted in Connecticut, East Coast, Maine, Massachussetts, New England, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont .

Share this:It has always been a goal of mine to go to New England. I’ve read so much about it over the years; the lighthouses, the history, the foliage. New England in the Fall. That’s the dream right? The problem is…flights are more expensive, hotels are more expensive, and according to all sources, the area becomes

Posted on February 15, 2015 by emmalouiseclarke Posted in Arizona, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Route 66, Texas .

Don’t forget Winona: Making Memories on Route 66

Posted on October 7, 2014 by emmalouiseclarke Posted in Arizona, Route 66 .

Share this:“…Flagstaff, Arizona…Don’t forget Winona…Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino…”. So goes the famous song. Except we had forgotten Winona. In our excitement to take that massive detour to Monument Valley, we had missed a section of Route 66 that we had to loop back on. As if the previous day hadn’t been busy enough (you can

Valleys and Corners: Why a 500 mile detour from Route 66 is so worth it.

Posted on June 26, 2014 by emmalouiseclarke Posted in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Route 66, Utah, Western USA .

Share this:A detour in the UK would be perhaps popping around the corner to see a friend on the way around the M25, or maybe stopping off to get some eggs after work. On a US roadtrip, a detour is more like, oh, I don’t know, 500 miles to see Monument Valley. But it is

A journey into Cowboy Country on Route 66

Posted on June 8, 2014 by emmalouiseclarke Posted in Oklahoma, Route 66, Texas .

Share this:Texas has a reputation amongst us Brits as being huge – it is 3 times the size of our entire country (yet the UK has nearly 2.5 times more people living there!). It’s the 2nd biggest US State (Alaska is even bigger) and has the 2nd largest population (after California). I guess the notoriety
