I was asked what I would spend the money on if I won the lottery… And the first thing that comes to mind for me is the places I want to see, rather than the things I want to buy and for this reason I’m going to share my ideal trip with you if money were no object. One of the lottery options I have here in the UK, and is super easy to play online is Lottoland. 

I’ve played the lottery on and off over the years but it’s never been consistent, I’ve never won anything but I still sometimes get the urge to play when I’m feeling lucky.

It’s funny that it takes writing a blog post to make me sit and think about all the places I would love to visit but realistically a lot of the places I want to go are financially out of reach.

There isn’t really one destination that I want to go to more of a trip with a few stops along the way. My all time most longed for destination was Las Vegas and I did that a year and a half ago!

My ideal trip (not the only, but definitely the one I would do first) goes a little something like this…

My sister and I want to fly to Miami FL and hire a car and drive to a few of the southern states. I have always wanted to experience the music and food in New Orleans and just the overall culture so that is a state that was an absolute must and is the main event of the trip.

Once we arrive in Miami we would only stay there a couple of days as we have both been there before, and it’s the only lying destination on the trip that is ‘beachy’.

From Miami we will drive to Atlanta, Georgia.. This isn’t a destination that was ever a must see place for me but definitely someplace that is worth visiting as we pass by and the shopping experience is meant to be amazing!

From Atlanta we will drive on to New Orleans! I would love to stay in New Orleans for no less than 5 days, there are so many amazing things to eat and so many authentic NOLA places to visit to immerse yourself in theor amazing culture. I want to drown in Creole culture while I’m there. My parents used to speak the language when I was growing up so it would be lovely to hear all the broken French that someone of the NOLA people speak.

From New Orleans we would drive down to Mississippi and then to Alabama, just to see what things are like way down south. This will definitely be a foodie road trip because again  that is something that draws me to that side of the country, the promise of gumbo and jambalaya, collard greens, grits, peach cobbler… Omg the list could go on! After a few days in each of these places we would head back to Miami to fly home.

These parts of America are rarely talked about as dream destinations but they are places that I would love to see and experience soon. I don’t know how long we would spend in each place or what attractions will be in the list but I am sure we will do this trip!

If money was no object, where would you go?
