After 10 hours of driving from Philadelphia we're finally back in Toronto! Exhausted we've put together a list of our favourites, not so favourite and funny moments below.


Most accessible city: Pittsburgh, PA.

Most accessible hotel: Hampton Inn & Suites Pittsburgh Downtown (Torrance), Holiday Inn Washington Capitol Hill (Terrence).

Least accessible hotel(s): Homewood Suite Raleigh-Crabtree, Raleigh, NC, Holiday Inn Express Baltimore, MD and La Quinta Inn St. Augustine, FL. due to no roll-in showers in the accessible rooms.

Most accessible theme park: Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Favourite theme park ride: Jungle Cruise (Torrance).

Best food place: Mert's Heart & Soul, Charlotte, NC (Torrance).

Best food place on the Disney Magic: Animator's Palate (Torrance).

Funniest town/city name we saw: Fancy Gap, VA (Torrance) and Bland County, VA (Terrence).

Favourite state motto: "We're Glad Georgia's on Your Mind"

Least memorable moment of the trip: Unidentified bugs in our hotel room in La Quinta St. Augustine. They've apologized and refunded us but the bugs are still unidentified.

Funniest moment of the trip: When Terrence thought we missed the cruise cause he kept thinking we're boarding the Disney Dream and not the Magic.

Favourite thing about the MV1: Feeling safe (Torrance) and good handling and powerful with a V8 engine (Terrence).

Least favourite thing about the MV1: Steep ramp (Torrance) and difficult to find controls on the dashboard when night driving and hard to reach certain buttons and cup holder without long arms (Terrence).
