Road Trip Diary: 5

Next day, we left the hotel at 10 and went to Haulover Beach. Just wanted to enjoy some more views of the beautiful beaches of Miami before leaving. Spent quite a while there, and from there we went to Bayside Marketplace. It was as lively as ever, a local band was playing and some people were dancing too. And what to say about food, it was the perfect place and we had a scrumptious meal.

Around 3, it was time to leave for home. The journey began right there and we set out towards our destination. At 7, we stopped at MIMS on the way, for refreshments. And by 9:45, we were in Georgia.

We decided to drive all the way in one go. And around 3:11 am, we entered North Carolina and by 7:30 in the morning, we were in Virginia. At 11, we crossed Washington D.C. and took a small breakfast stop for half an hour.

By 1:30, we were home, home sweet home. It was a long haul and we did it in 22 hours at a stretch. So, we covered almost 11 states - New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, D.C., Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida; went all the way to the southern most tip of United States  and around 3500 miles (5632 kms), when it comes to numbers.

It was a memorable trip and we had the most amazing time. And Road Trips are always great, especially this one as it was just according to the way we wanted it to be. Seeing it on a map makes it even more awesome, the route we took, the places we visited, the distance we covered - its an unbelievable feeling to finish a mega road trip in time.
