Although the most interesting part of this blog will the adventures we have between July 22nd and September 24th in our 6000+ mile journey across the US, some may like to read about the preparation involved in planning something like this; choosing a guidebook, finding a car rental agency, estimating a budget and all the behind-the-scenes organisation necessary to avoid the pitflass of turning up in the dead of night to an unknown city with a reservation (or a clue)!
Last week, after months of having excitable conversations about the sights we wanted to see, Ben and I went to a lovely pub in Primrose Hill, ordered a couple of pints and sat down with the Lonely Planet and a notebook. The idea was, having already decided on destinations, to agree on the rough timings of how long we would stay at each stop and how long it might take to drive between them - longer than you might think..
Ever since, I've been unable to concentrate on much. How are we going to squeeze it all in?
