Any suggestions would be appreciated.

road Trip Thru Mississippi December 08kia ora, Kiwis here..Travelled one month from Sth Carolina to LA in Aug...In a motorhome drove the 84 route and infrequently the freeways..By driving thru%26#39; secondary roads experienced small town USA.. Wonderful trip ,surprising old fashioned feel at time..GPS is a good idea...
road Trip Thru Mississippi December 08Hey Roadhogs....I usually enter two destinations in Map Quest to get a general idea of a route then start my research from that initial info.
I hope you can click on this link since I just entered Las Vegas to Orlando for you, and you can see by the map that you have a great and wonderful driving experience waiting for you.

Roadhogs,
If you pull up my previous posts, you can see some of my suggestions for Mississippi. You will probably also be able to tell that DH and I Love Mississippi!
Have a safe and fun trip!

We have purposefully left a few days free here and there as the last thing you want on a holiday is to be tied to a strict timetable if we are having a great time we could even put our arrival date in Orlando back a few days.We dont plan on booking any Hotels on Route in advance as that will give us the chance to WING IT as us crazy brits like to say.
Sams town is provisionally booked for the 5 nights to give us a base in vegas and we have a townhouse on Regal Palms Waiting for us in Orlando.
I will post this on each of the states we will be passing through as there dosent seem to be one forum for the whole of the US.
Cheers

What will be your route through MS? I-10 or will you enter the state further north?
Sorry, missed your last post. Obviously, looks like you will be driving I-10. With that being the case, you won%26#39;t spend long in MS, as that is really a short span of Highway...and so many landmarks on the Coast are gone after Katrina.
It is a short distance off I-10 to visit Waveland %26amp; Bay St. Louis, the heart of the destruction (and I do not mean that in a voyeuristic fashion, but what Katrina wrought, and what the locals can relate to you when having a meal in a local diner down there, is something to appreciate - a true force of nature).
