Let me be frank here: I'm fucking excited for this trip.
This is going to be the best road-trip I've ever heard of, because it has a design I've wanted to put into action for years now.
We're going to live this trip, strictly by the skin of our teeth. What do I mean? Simple:
Wake up each and every morning, find out where we're at, and hit the internet. Here's where the hundreds of amazing suggestions I've gotten, from people just like yourself, come in:
We're going to figure out what would be cool to do, do it, take pictures, jot down a few notes and stories... And share the experience with you. Right here. :-)
The only goal: Eventually see Los Vegas, and the beautiful West-Coast ocean. So you know there's bound to be at LEAST a handful of stories from Vegas, and some incredible adventures in Cali.
With only 27 Days to go, I'm starting to get geared up for the trip. Hey, help me out: What do you think are the absolute necessities for a great road-trip? I'm thinkin':
* Camera. Duh. Gotta take and share the pictures
* Laptop. For research and sharing stories.
* GPS. So we don't get lost in hick-town Kentucky and Texas Chainsaw Massacre'd.
(And if you're from Hicktown Kentucky... Fuckin' move. I'd apologize, but you need to get the fuck out of your town and see the world. I'm doing you a favor)
So... Hit up the comments, share any stories or whatever, and also - Tell us what you think we should pack-up for the perfect road trip. I'd love to hear what you have to say :-)
If the comments aren't your style, you can fire us an email, or hit us up on Twitter. Oh, and tell your friends about this trip, too. Share the love.
Anyways, talk to you in a few!
Your Roadtrippin' Friend,
- Alex

Since we were kids, we wanted to travel but life got in our way. But once my baby brother at 40 died with regrets of not following his bliss, my husband and I got to crunching things to make it happen. In February 2005, we came way out of our comfort zones and travel the country in our RV, working our way to our next adventure. It has been challenging but we would never go back to living in a stix'n'brix home again.
ReplyDeleteNo, GPS = bad. A GPS makes it way too easy. Instead bring a compass. A compass will get you headed in the direction you want to go, eventually.
ReplyDeletethe best thing for a trip like this is an open mind and a great sense of adventure!! looks like you already have both and should be able to let the trip lead you, instead of you leading the trip. that sounds like an awesome vacation. no schedule, no rules, just freedom & fun!
ReplyDeleteHey, hicktown kentucky here! Lol, grew up in Louisville, 16th largest city in the states (as our mayor likes to splash all over the county). Don't be fooled, we may run around barefoot, drunk and tipping cows, but Kentucky's fucking beautiful and well worth a couple days time on your trip! I'm one of those rare girls from the country, loyal to where I came from but very much a traveler. I love coming back home when I finish a trip, there's nothing like being a Southern girl, other people just don't understand... ;)
