Anyway, towards the end of last week I spoke to my best friend from high school, whom I was planning to go visit after I left San Diego. I mentioned to him that I'd been toying around with the idea of road-tripping instead of flying and he said he'd like to fly out here and drive back with me. Suddenly, the whole dynamic shifted - instead of a long solo expensive drive across the country I was looking at an adventure with my best friend at a time in our lives when we need nothing so much as a good adventure.
So, at the end of June, we'll be leaving the West Coast and driving East, with a planned stop at the Grand Canyon but otherwise playing it pretty much by ear, going wherever the winds and Google Maps for Mobile lead us.
I'll be doing my level best to blog from the road using Jott on my phone, and hope to upload pictures at the odd wireless hotspot. This promises to be a weird experience, so if you want to follow along please feel free to click the "Subscribe to" link at the top to receive my new FeedBurner feed (h/t Christal) by email.
Now, in case you are wondering, I have no idea where I am going to end up. So there'll be, at least, some degree of suspense to the story!
Stay tuned...

Well I'm not writing this story, but if I were, I'd end it with a cheesesteak.
Not if it has to be liquid though. Ew.
Happy trails!
Did someone say roadtrip? You should drive through the Mojave desert and make a stop at the Hoover dam too. I was recently in that area and did a quickie roadtrip that was amazingly beautiful. Enjoy!
Nothing like some good old cross country road trippin' to start off the summer.
Wish I could join ya!!!
