What's this trip about?

    TRIP VIBE = fast-paced fun with tons of socialising, bucket-list sights and good times all round. Life is a highway. And this 19-day all-American adventure is the route to living YOUR best life. From the iconic capitals of the big screen to the culture-infused cities everyone’s raving about: this is one SUPERsized roadie. Get to know the big guns (hi NYC!), lose yourself in otherworldly landscapes (take a bow, Grand Canyon), and party like you’ve *never* partied before (Vegas is calling). If you really want to do the USA, this trip is it.

Itinerary

Travel Map

Day 1: New York City (New York)

The Big Apple. One iconic city to kick off one UNbelievable cross-country USA adventure. Makes sense. First: meet your Topdeck fam. This lot? They’re your people. Then: dig into an included group dinner at Applebee’s and get pumped for good times. Ready for over two weeks’ worth of OG road trippin’? Hell yeah!

Meals: Dinner

Day 2: New York City – Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) – Washington, DC

Hitting the road bright and early, we’re heading to the hub of American politics. But first: Philly. The home of Rocky and the Declaration of Independence, we'll tick off the top sights on a driving tour. Then: we’ll arrive in DC just in time to see the Lincoln...

Day 3: Washington, DC

You’ve got 24 hours. Your undercover mission, should you choose to accept it... ok, you get the gist. Our suggestion? Nab yourself a set of wheels on a bike tour. Then, hit up the array of FREE museums. From the National Museum of American History to the Nation...

Day 4: Washington, DC – Charlotte (North Carolina)

Wave goodbye to ol’ Lincoln – North Carolina is calling. A city with a tagline like “Charlotte’s Got A Lot” means expectations are HIGH. But with urban forests, specialty museums, the NoDa art scene and two brewery districts – we’d have to agree, this place has...

Day 5: Charlotte – Nashville (Tennessee)

Sling on a cowboy hat and tune up that fiddle. This morning we’re making a beeline for America’s country music capital. Ngl – it’s a bit of a drive there. Meaning? Your chance to impress the fam with a rendition of Dolly Parton’s back catalogue (lucky them!). W...

Day 6: Nashville

It’s your day, your way. What’s up first? Hit up the Country Music Hall of Fame for an education in all the folk and blues greats. Go star spotting on a stroll around the free Music City Walk of Fame. Check out the Grand Ole Opry for an old-school country music...

Day 7: Nashville – Memphis

Time to dust off your best Elvis impression cos we’re heading to Memphis. Another hotspot for music lovers, it’s the home of both rock n’ roll AND the blues. Check out Beale Street (one of the USA’s ‘most iconic streets’) on a walking tour. After, do your own t...

Day 8: Memphis – New Orleans (Louisiana)

Full disclosure: this is a drive day. But it’ll be totally worth it when we roll into New Orleans. Trust us. We’ll start with a walking tour of the French Quarter (aka New Orleans’ Crown Jewel). Wanna know what’s on the menu for dinner? Between gumbo and po-boy...

Day 9: New Orleans

A city exploding with culture, history and seriously good food – this is a GREAT place to wake up. Today: the choice is yours. Check out the open-air gallery in Jackson Square. Hit up the French Market for shopping. Uncover your love for jazz along Frenchman St...

Day 10: New Orleans – Fort Worth (Texas)

Truth bomb: the USA is B-I-G and we’ve got a bit of a travel day today. Stock up on snacks, hop on board and dig out the AUX cord – Texas is calling! After arriving in Fort Worth, tonight is totally up to you. Our pick? Fully commit to Tex-Mex and get stuck into all the tacos and chimichangas you can handle. RIP white T-shirt.

Meals:

Day 11: Fort Worth – Dallas – Fort Worth

Fill up at breakfast and practise your best yeee haaaa! – we’re heading to the wild, wild west with a visit to the Fort Worth Historic Stockyards. Lasso your way around the original brick walkways and wooden corrals of ‘Cowtown’. Next up: Dallas. See the city’s...

Day 12: Fort Worth – Amarillo

Is this the way to Amarillo? Hope so, or we’re totally lost. Fire up the coach games. Blast out the trip song. And don’t be fooled, our next stop is a ‘go big or go home’ kinda place. Speaking of going big, how does an optional hot air balloon ride over the Tex...

Day 13: Amarillo – Albuquerque (New Mexico)

Ready for something a bit... different? On Route 66 we’ll check out the quirky art installation at the Cadillac Ranch. Fan of Breaking Bad? We’re rolling into Heisenberg’s old stomping ground later today. Prepare to spice up your life when you hunt down dinner ...

Day 14: Albuquerque – Santa Fe – Durango (Colorado)

Tongue still on fire? Pass on the hot sauce at this morning’s included brekkie. First up today: the arty markets of Santa Fe – stop for lunch and a wander around the city’s historic heart. Then: crack out the playing cards or glue your face to the window as we ...

Day 15: Durango – Monument Valley – Flagstaff (Arizona)

Arizona – this state is made for road trips. Stretches of endless sky. Expanses of red desert. Centuries-old history. And some pretty famous rock formations. Today’s first stop = Mars. Actually –it’s Monument Valley, but it may as well be another planet. This I...

Day 16: Flagstaff – Grand Canyon National Park – Flagstaff

One word: iconic. The only way to see one of the world’s most incredible natural wonders in its entirety, is from the sky. Lucky for you we’ve organised an optional heli-tour. Prepare to be wowed by AWESOME vistas of the canyon’s iconic landscape. Group pics na...

Day 17: Flagstaff – Las Vegas (Nevada)

After an included brekkie, it’s time to turn our attention to the strip. The Vegas Strip. En-route, we'll pass Sedona’s Red Rock State Park where you’ll have a chance to admire its fiery-red canyons during an optional jeep tour. Then it’s onwards to Sin City, a...

Day 18: Las Vegas

Anything goes in Vegas and you’ve got a full day to make the most of it. Our suggestions? Take an optional heli-tour over The Strip. Flash some plastic at the mall. Or hit up a Vegas-style pool party. Just save some energy for later ‘cos we’ve got one last grou...

Day 19: Las Vegas – Los Angeles (California)

Wipe away the last traces of glitter and confetti – we’ll make tracks for LA this morning. You’ve got the whole coach ride to plan next year’s reunion trip. Get cracking!
