DAY 1 of 84- 1st Caribbean Couple to drive across the US and Canada in 12 weeks. June 12th-Sep 4th I have traveled to the U.S. a couple of times before and each of those trips were purpose filled. This planned 12minRVconvos journey however superceded all those and I could feel it in every fiber of my being. Our friend Alicia, who lives in the U.S. accompanied us on this first leg of the journey which I spoke about on Day 0. When we got into Ft Lauderdale's Airport we separated as Alicia's car was at a nearby car park. We would later meet at her home once we got through with our rental car.

In no way did we imagine that upon arrival we would be faced with an obstacle of this nature . How fun!!! We did not have the deposit for 2 reasons. What were the 2 reasons? 1. Firstly, there were two sources of money we had access to for this 12minRVconvos journey. Our personal VISA card and the money that we raised through our GoFundme campaign. However, because of scarcity of US$ in Trinidad and Tobago, our bank would only allow a US$200 spend per month. The deposit was more than this for a 12 week rental period. 2.Secondly the money we raised was in the account of Ryan Dean because when we signed up for GoFundme, one of the pre-requisites was a US bank account. At that time we did not have one. This was one of the reasons we travelled to the US a day earlier. What did we do? I approached the counter a second time and explained our situation. The customer representative thankfully worked it out and by the time Alicia returned we got our . ...Continued on 12minconvos.com/blog #caribbeantraveller #coupletravel #roadtrip #roadtripusa #roadtr https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsd8jW8gYoW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ivlei9dquwqn
