Question and Answer Period

I figure I would answer some of the most common questions I have gotten about my trip for everyone's reading please.

Why are you doing this?

Why the trip? It all started with the fact that I have a wedding in Ohio in June, and since I have time off of work I got to thinking that I would drive out instead of flying. Since then it has grown into the trip it has become.

Why the blog? A good way to keep in touch (if I keep it up the whole time!).

How did you get this much time off work?

I am on a 10-month contract with my job, which means I have June and July off. Not so great as I am not getting paid for those two months, but good that I get a bunch of time off! I will also be able to store all my things at my current place and don't need to move them anywhere which is nice.

Are you going alone?

Yes, I will be doing the drive by myself. I will be staying with friends and seeing lots of people, so the only alone time will be the first four days of the trip, the last week or so, and any driving in the middle.

Are you scared/excited/nervous?

To be honest, I am all three of these things. Excited to get out on the road, nervous if I get bored halfway through, scared that my car might not make it!

Why all these random cities?

Almost all the cities I am stopping in (minus Las Vegas, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, etc)are because I have a friend there. Most of the cities I have also never been to, so it will be nice to check out a new part of the country.

So you are just staying with friends?

Pretty much. In the cities/towns where I don't know anyone, I will be camping.

YOU are camping?

Yes, ass, I am camping. I have a tent and sleeping bag and everything!
