drive across the country

Moose and I have been talking about doing this for a few years now. It was one of those things that I had always wanted to do, but never thought I could. It was one of those things that when I thought “What’s stopping me?” it really hit me. I realized, we have two cars, we have jobs that allow us to take vacations, we have several friends we could visit with along the way, there really is nothing stopping us.

... and I really want to take it all the way west!

I got a definite yes from my friend from back home, he will be making the trip with me, which will make the experience so much better. Now we’ll see if he actually goes back to NJ once he’s gotten to the left coast.

I’ll be heading across country starting on Dec. 31. I want to time it so I can have two New Years (one in EST, one CST) in Tennessee, then make stops in Arkansas, Texas, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, three weeks in San Diego, then finally move to Fallon, NV. I’m hoping that a friend of mine from home will go with me and fly back, or a friend in San Diego will fly out here and drive back with me. This is one time I’m glad I’m in the military and have a reason to do this while getting paid for it.

drove from nashville, TN to thousand oaks, CA in five days. i took route 66 almost all the way across the country. i went through tennessee, arkansas, oklahoma, texas, arizona, new mexico and california. it was definitely worth doing!

And I will some day, even if I must do it alone.

So much gorgeous countryside…
i wanna experience and visit so many NZ places

I am 25 and just got my license, I think it would be cool.

going on road trips! They are the best way to see as much as possible! I’ve only flown a couple of times, and it was fun, but I enjoy driving to my destinations because of all of the fun stuff you get to see on your way there. All the states that I’ve driven through (in the order in whichever one pops into my head first): California, Washington, Idaho, Montana, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Virginia, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland/ DC, and Hawaii….(also Canada- Victoria, and we crossed the border when we saw Niagara Falls).

Definitely worth it, just because you are able to see all of the beautiful scenery and visit local towns that you pass through, learn its history, and it’s just a great way to get to know whoever you’re going with that much better!

Bring a good book and ensure your car has air conditioning!!!
