Hey stabi, that's 40degrees C, not F, or to put it another way - "bloody hot mate"


I think you are trying for too much - to put it in perspective - starting at Washington, after a couple of days heading down to the Blue Ridge and Virginia, then down to Texas, then north to the Canadian border, then across to New York then down the coast to Washington..


You really have only 7 weeks traveling as you are taking about half the first week in Sydney and you will need a couple of days at the end.


Perhaps a better option would be a loop - Sydney, Broken Hill, Adelaide, Great Ocean Rd to Melbourne, around the coast to the Snowy, across to Canberra then Sydney. Still a big trip but doable and your bums won`t be numb from all the sitting.


Anyway, whatever you decide to do, enjoy your time down under.
