The Ultimate Road Trip
Monday, November 13, 2006
The ultimate road trip has been hatched and is picking up steam as each day passes. Here are the loose travel plans: The trip will begin in Dallas (or Austin) and will end there as well. There are several sure-fire cities that are penciled in for a stop, but there will be a whole heap of improvisation going on. Some of these cities include: Nashville, Raleigh, New York, Boston, somewhere in Maine, Chicago, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, and Santa Barbara. Here is a look at the extremely flexible road map:
The current plan is to buy a van of some sort to be used for the duration of the trip that will have the ability to provide shelter for the night when necessary (we are thinking a VW because Brunson's did us so well on the trip to the Olympics). The length of the trip is not completely decided, but it looks like 3 months is the current target (probably a week or so at each stop). There really are no plans as to what will happen when we get to each city, except that we will find different ways to earn money at each city in order to make it to the next destination. Here are some possible money-making endeavors: the cliché guitar on the sidewalk (which we grew a large audience in Australia from), miscellaneous work-slave for a day or two, painting houses, trimming the hedges, or baby-sitting (who wouldn't want two male, complete strangers to watch their kids?). The Box is a social butterfly, so we are just planning on meeting people and making friends as we get to each new location. If you have any suggestions, ideas, or if you would like to become a sponsor for the trip then please leave a comment.
