Timing is Everything..

There is something in the crisp mid-January air that does strange things… Don’t get me wrong, I tend to have some great ideas and schemes for adventures, but the timing could definitely be better. Looking back to this time last year, I was finishing up finals from my first semester in Paris and packing up for a European adventure during the inter-semester break:

• Travel in Europe: good plan.
• Going to Eastern Europe mid-January with temperatures around -20ºF: could definitely have been a better plan...

So here we are, embarking on 2011 and history repeats itself…

• Road-tripping halfway across America with a friend: great idea
• Opting to drive from Dallas to Boston mid-January with blizzards bombarding the East Coast: poor execution…

But as of now,about 50 hours ahead of our planned departure, the road-trip is on. With an emergency kit (compiled by Boy Scout leader Eagle Scout, JJ!), warm clothes, and some maps, there’s nothing left to do but hit the road.

Check back to see our progress as we make our 1800+ mile journey January 15-18!
