But after a couple of hours into the drive, the pair stopped at a roadside diner, a place that she explained was nostalgic because she had visited the same restaurant with her parents when she was younger.
She explained: 'We were completely naive. There were lots of cars around, so we didn't think anything bad could happen.'
But when they returned to their vehicle after just half an hour inside, they found it smashed up and all of their belongings stolen which included their passports and medication.
She added: 'It's not just the material things. It's everything we needed. We had nothing left, no ID, no medication, nothing.'
Josh added: 'There were tourists everywhere, and apparently this happens almost every day. It's crazy that there are no warning signs.'
Saffron said: 'I'm so grateful to be alive. They have guns in America, and something much worse could have happened. We keep telling ourselves that we should be grateful we're still here.'
But the trip continued to get worse as the pair had no choice but to still drive the car to Las Vegas with the car's windows shattered in order to return it.
And when they arrived at the hotel, they were met with another complication as staff at the hotel were suspicious and denied check-in when the couple could not provide any ID.

Saffron claimed: 'We looked like we'd stolen the car. The hotel didn't care about our situation and wouldn't let us in.'
And this is not the first time the pair been targeted by thieves as the house they left behind in the UK was recently robbed - 'the cherry on top,' Josh added.
Now, Saffron and Josh are waiting for emergency passports, and will have to drive back to LA to retrieve them before their flights home from Vegas.
Saffron concluded: 'We won't be stopping anywhere. If you ever decide to do a similar trip, please don't stop off at places like that.'
