Seeing the US of A.

I like to travel but I'm afraid of flying. Airplanes give me some serious anxiety, especially take-off, landing and any time there is turbulance. BUT I really want to take a road trip across the U.S. with time to stop and stay in all sorts of places along the way and see ridiculous landmarks like "The Biggest Ball of Yarn." (I'm not sure that this even exists lol).

I've driven across the U.S. before (well I rode while other people drove) when I was younger. My family and I drove from Cali to Florida and back AND we made the drive from Cali to Illinois and back. But since I've been older I haven't done that big of a roadtrip.. I think the biggest was Nevada to Arizona, which took about 13 hours.

Now that I'm older I want to take like a summer-long, or even a month-long, roadtrip all over the U.S. One of the things on my unofficial bucket list is to go to all 50 states. I think I have about 19 of them down, but that leaves quite a few left to see.

Since I'm in AZ, I figure we could drive through New Mexico, Texas & Louisiana (even though I've been to these states before, I want to go again), up through Arkansas or Mississippi to Tennessee and North Carolina and then up the coast from there, through Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, etc. all the way to Maine and back down through New York, Pennsylvania, etc.

Now I just have to figure out how to fund the trip, take a month off from responsibilities and find someone to go with me. With our wedding and honeymoon planned for next summer this may have to wait but maybe during law school, or even the summer after, I'll be able to take a summer off and do this. Who's in?

Until Next Time,

Nora
