Florida and Hawaii
For a road trip with a tropical twist, try driving across the Sunshine State or Hawaii. In Florida, you can lap up the Art Deco glitz of Miami, laze on palm-lined beaches, spot alligators in the Everglades and drive across the Overseas Highway to the Key West for afternoon margaritas and serious relaxation. On the way, you can swing by the Kennedy Space Center and whip through Orlando's magical theme parks. In Hawaii, you can drive to hidden waterfalls, volcanoes, and secret sandy bays. Beautiful, laid-back and packed with Polynesian spirit, it's an exceptional choice for an exotic USA road trip.
When to take a road trip across Florida or Hawaii: Warm all year round, Florida is the perfect place for a winter escape, although it can feel a little crowded. November and March, either side of the high season, are often the best times to travel. Hawaii's dry season runs from April until October, with July and August seeing the busiest in-flux of tourists.
