Road Trip

My friend Daniel is moving from New York to San Francisco. While I was in New York, he talked at length about whether he should drive across the country or fly. His main concern about driving was that he really didn’t want to drive 3000 miles by himself. Well, that sounded like enough of an invitation to me, or perhaps not, in any case I invited myself to accompany him. He graciously accepted my invitation.

I am my father’s daughter. When my parents decided to travel around the world, my father sent me a 50 page itinerary, detailing where they would be, accommodations, sights to see, etc. I mocked him. I should have known.

I have devoured every book, every website, that I can about tourist destinations between here and San Francisco, via the West and Pacific Northwest. I have seen good websites, and not so good. Informative ones, and not so much.

We set off next week, and I am excited. Very, very excited. This will be the ultimate adventure.
