That is awesome! I'm so happy to hear that. Have a wonderful time!!

Thank you so much, Michael! I hope you'll get to make the same journey sooner rather than later :) It's so much fun!

That's awesome! Haha, yeah the heat is always unbearable in the summer and yet I always stay here during that time. Go figure! Sounds like an amazing trip. Safe travels and have a great time!!

Thank you! You too!

Thank you so much!!😀💕 A carriage tour in New Orleans sounds amazing. I will definitely have to check that out next time!

Awesome!! Have a great time😊

Thank you so much! Happy to hear that you were able to experience the adventure with me😊

@@travelpockets my pleasure 😊

Haha thank you! My brave little baby😊

Thank you so much! I left Kuma in the hotel room while I had breakfast :)

Thank you! Yes, you need to go for sure :) I will forever be a Whataburger girl :) I love their chicken strips and gravy too much!

Aw, thank you so much for watching my entire journey!

@@travelpockets 🫶🏻

Haha thank you! Hopefully I'll get to go back end of this year :)

Thank you! Yeah, there's always been a Whataburger in Tallahassee, which is the closest to Tampa, but that's still 4 hours away😭

@@travelpockets I mostly mentioned it because I figured you could stop on one of your road trips.

@@davidwelty9763 Yup, that's one of the many Whataburgers I stop by on my road trip :) Thanks for letting me know!

Thank you so much!! We are loving it too :)

I like the animation map too! How did you create it?

@@mylifewhereilive Thank you! I created it in Adobe After Effects.

Thank you so much for replying! I am a beginner, it’s hard to do for me.😂

Thank you! Super excited for your trip too :) Yes, I pre-booked all the hotels before I hit the road. I only booked hotels that had a free cancellation policy (usually up to 1-2 days before). Have a safe trip!

That's so awesome that you're thinking of doing a solo road trip too! I drive my own car on all of the road trips. The main reason being that I have my dog with me and I know she'll get fur everywhere in the car because she sheds a lot😅 I also feel a lot more comfortable in my own car. I drive a 2018 Ford Escape and it's done a fantastic job on all of my road trips!

@@travelpockets thank you

Thank you, Shirley! I don't live bicoastal, but I go back and forth often because my sister, Candy, lives in California and I like to stay there during the holidays with my dog. My home is in Florida :)

@@travelpockets awesome! We are starting the bi-coastal life in NC and CA and we have to make the drive because of our two frenchies. You videos are helpful! 😊❤️

Yup, it's super comfortable! I love my Ford Escape. This is my second one. I believe the highest gas price at the time was around $3.70 per gallon.

Aww really!? Maybe next time?😁

Driving cross-country solo really is not that bad. Once you get on the road, I think you will enjoy it. Make sure you get a full inspection on your car before you leave so that you know your car is in good shape for the road. Having AAA would be a good idea too for emergency situations. My dog loves to go from hotel to hotel because she's always excited to check out a new place. If your dog has not traveled much, try driving with him/her to different places locally first.

@@travelpockets Thank you so much for your reply. What about from a safety perspective? Have you ever felt in danger? Are there any cities I should avoid? I’m a minority so I am a little concerned about standing out in some places where there is no diversity.

@@Trulyblessed521 No, I never felt unsafe anywhere. All of my stops felt pretty safe.

Hi! Yup, that is a wireless mic on my seatbelt😊

@@travelpockets that it very cool thanks so much for replying.
