Its been a long time since I went on this Trek but it is impossible to forget how amazing it was.
Everything about it made it the trip of a lifetime and I am planning on booking another trek very soon. To anyone who is in two minds whether to book just do it! Southern Sun is a great mix of culture and adventure, covering a lot of America.
I think its changed a bit since I went but that's the best thing about Trek America, no two tours are the same.
ONE WORD AMAZING. I travelled with 12 people, plus the tour leader (Jeremy who btw was awesome) we all met up at the custom hotel in LA on 18-03-2015 before we proceeded to go to Las Vegas!! We went on to visit the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, New Orleans, Memphis & Washington D.C just to name a few. I was travelling for around 7 weeks in total and these 3 weeks made my trip. Don't worry about the camping side of it, I had never camped before and it was fine we had a couple of hotel nights as well.
At night we would all take it in turn to cook, wash up and van clean before sitting round the campfire having a few drinks and eating marshmallows - thats if we didn't go out. If your travelling alone it doesn't matter near enough everyone on our trek was solo travellers but you end up getting to know each other so well they become friends you will continue to stay in touch with.
IF IN DOUBT JUST BOOK IT YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT BEST 21 DAYS/4800 MILES EVER!
