1986 – USA – “Continental Trailways”

Crossing America by bus

By late June 1986 I finally had confidence that I had enough cash saved to stop working in the UK and begin my journey.

I flew first to the USA and then crossed the country by “Trailways” bus.  I also made brief visits to both Canada and Mexico in the process.

I kept a diary of my travels.

The diary covers not only the first USA sector but also the next two years of travelling.

The diary starts below and each chapter follows the next.
