So here's our map. Sam and I have already planned expenses, saved (still saving as much as we can), and now have the general route outlined. There's a few planned destinations but otherwise it's wherever the road and our whims take us. So that's why the map is just an outline. We'll hopefully end up in a lot of small towns, on a lot of back roads and acquire quite a bit of adventure and stories to share.
I've known Sam for about 10 years and we had talked about taking a cross-country road trip the summer after we graduated high school. For all the excuses in the book (i.e. no money saved, no vehicle, etc) we never ended up doing it. So now it's five years after high school has ended, and while life has taken us down different paths during that 5 years, we've arrived at the same place. And the place and the timing are perfect. And even though we could easily conjure up some obstacles, instead of using them as reasons not to go, we're coming up with ways to work through them.
It's really going to happen this time.
So, right now, it's a waiting game. Stay tuned. Road trip starts June 15th, 2011 and will end mid-July.
I'm so excited. :)
Always & Forever,
Stephanie
