A Note From the Author

It's very hard to do a blog about a journey like this. One could write an entire book about the experience, easily.

Doing a whirlwind tour of 40 cities in 60 days, and drving over 10,000 miles in the process leaves little time for writing anything, and when I do have the time I find I'm usually too exhausted to compose anything coherent, let alone intersting.

So I do intend to continue this blog, since I started it and it seems to have a loyal following of my parents and at least two other people.

But don't expect all my interesting stories and observations to make it in. I would love to sit down and write a detailed, humorous account of every day of my trip, and I could if given the time, but sadly it's not in the cards.

So I'll keep you up to date on the hi-lights and lowlights. The delicious pizzas and speeding tickets. And all the friends I see along the way. But don't expert Newberry Award material. In fact, don't expect much and you'll get what I can give you.
