Coast to Coast (part 1)

After crossing the Atlantic Ocean, the next project is to cross the United States. Unlike the cruise I won’t use the shortest route. My companion, thanks to a special Hertz Adrenaline Collection-treatment is a brand new Corvette Stingray. With 460 horsepower V8, 0 tot 60 in 3.8 seconds, it should be enough to propel me across the continent.

But not without visiting interesting places on the way. And what better place to start than the wonderful New England area around Boston. Traditional Irish pubs, inspiring visits to the worlds best universities (Yale, Harvard, MIT) and beautiful views on the Ocean under a nice Indian Summer sun.

Next destination: New York. As mentioned before, one of my favourite cities in the world. I’ve been there before but there’s always so much to do. A show in “The Garden”, Helicopter Tour, Yankee game while staying at the Waldorf Astoria (not that special, but just to check if off the list).

Through the madness of Atlantic City I arrived in Washington, for a long awaited visit of the Smithsonian Institute. To lay my eyes on the Spirit of St. Louis was a very special moment for me, but doesn’t do justice to the rest of the collection. 

Only disappointed on this trip so far is not being able to stay a night at 1600, Pennsylvania Avenue. Even my black Amex doesn’t manage to do that……..
