Surfin' USA

Mr A has been well and truly bitten by the holiday bug and is chomping at the bit to arrange the next one!
I am equally as keen, so all our free time has been spent surfing the web and comparing itineraries.

We've not been able to decide where to go; back to America, South Africa or maybe even the Far East, so it's meant trawling though loads of different companies to see what's on offer.

What we decided was even though the world's a big place, we still have lots of time (the rest of our lives) to explore it together.
So what we don't see next year, will wait until the year after....or the year after......!

Mr A quite liked the sound of 'hike, bike & kayak' in Vietnam, only the bike was of the pedal (not motor) variety so that was a straight no from me.
I know I've got time to practice, but cycling 100km+ a day, in what is likely to be hot & humid conditions really doesn't sound like a holiday to me!

We then had a tie between Miami and the Keys or another coach tour of East Coast USA.
The East Coast won! Purely because it had a fuller itinerary and it covers Canada too.
We are sticking to the coach tour, as we feel we saw so much on this years trip. We also know what to expect in terms of travelling, luggage etc

These are the places we will visit:

New York
Boston
New England
Quebec City
Montreal
Ottawa
Thousand islands
Toronto
Niagara Falls
Gettysburg
Amish Country
Washington DC
Philadelphia

The only decision left is whether to book it now (with hopefully an early booking discount) or wait until spring. I don't think it matters really, we still have to pay for it no matter when we book!
