I’m seriously considering a 6600-mile road trip next summer.
I really liked doing my trips around Maine last summer (and into this fall and winter). Sometimes I’d drive around 400 miles in a day – and that’s through towns and other slower roads. Probably on Interstates I could do more. What’s the next step? Taking on America?
I’ve never been one who likes to travel. I’ve always been satisifed sitting in my little dorm room or bedroom working at my computer. But this summer’s trips convinced me that there’s a lot out there that I’d like to see. On the list:
- Silicon Valley and San Francisco
- Seattle
- The Grand Canyon
- The Mississippi
- Chicago
- The Great Lakes
- The Midwest
- The Rockies
I think a trip like this could be very educational, interesting, and fun. It’d expose me to new places and give me a chance to work on photography, videography, and even social skills. I’d even try to get hotels with wireless or high-speed access so I could upload pictures easily.
I don’t know; it’s still all in its planning stages. But you know me – once I get an idea in my head, I have to go through with it. 6600 miles is a long way; maybe there’s a compromise in there somewhere.
I still don’t have much interest in international travel, but maybe that will be for 2004. Who knows. 🙂
