Critique my last min American road trip

[sidekickdmr]

Ok so due to the Zika thing going around at the moment we are thinking of amending our Cancun beach holiday and instead doing something we’ve always wanted to do and travel across America, any excuse


So this is what we are thinking:

- Fly into San Francisco, 2 nights in a nice hotel

- Pick up a hire car from sanfran, something sporty and fun, mustang/vette

- Drive to Vegas with a night in a motel somewhere on the way

- Drop the hire car off in Vegas and stay 3 nights in a nice hotel

- Fly from Vegas to Houston, stay 2 nights in Houston

- Pick up a hire car, something a little more basic and cheap, drive to New Orleans with a motel stop on the way

- Stay 2 nights in New Orleans

- Fly to Orlando, stay 2 nights in Orlando

- Pick up a hire car, something convertible and drive to Miami, no stopover

- 3 nights in Miami in a really nice hotel with a beach/pool etc

- Fly home

Thoughts?

Alternitive city's/towns?

Thanks

The whole reason for doing Houston and New Orleans is that i imagine San fran, Vegas, orlando and Miami to be clean/modern and westernised, IE similar to each other.

To make it more of an experience I want to visit a couple of places that have character and charm, as different as possible from a tourist city, for contrast to the above.

I’m tempted to give Houston a miss and just fly direct to New Orleans and stay for a bit longer before heading to Orlando.

Anywhere else i should consider somewhere between Vegas and Orlando that meets the above brief?
