If you’re looking for warmth, sunshine and adventure then this is the perfect road trip where you will see 8 different states!

Some of the most unspoilt unique areas of the usa are so easily accessible from I-10 a highway which begins in Los Angeles and ends in Jacksonville Florida, along this route you will pass through the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida!

What sights will you see along the route? The grand canyon, paddle boat tour of the Mississippi, historic towns in Georgia, Roswell, beautiful panhandle coastal cities, San Diego zoo , Tijuana Mexico, just a 20 minute drive from San Diego.

These are just a few of the sights you will pass along the way on this route, what a fun and exciting way to see the fabulous USA!!

There aren’t many places in the world where you will experience such a diverse culture! The best of things are found right in the city of LA from eateries skyscrapers, zoos, mountains, tranquil parks.

On the northern side you will find the famous beaches such as Venice beach, Malibu and Santa Monica, on the southern side you have Newport Beach, long beach and Huntington Beach.

The beach regions are so very different from the inland ports such as Beverly Hills and Hollywood, Los Angeles is a city made up of many smaller city’s that make it what it is today.

121 miles down the i-10 route you will find San Diego there are many fun places to stop reroute such as Newport beach, Laguna Beach, and there are some fabulous mansions to stop at also.

Further down you will come to Arizona and the largest city Phoenix where temperatures can be over 100 degrees in the summer months!
