The Road Stops Here...

Or at least my blog does. I’m writing my final blog entry from the airport terminal in Baltimore waiting for my flight to Connecticut. Flying with luggage for a month of camping and traveling is not so much fun! I was just thinking that if they lose my luggage it would really suck, because I’ll lose just about every pair of underwear I own (that should have made you laugh)!

This trip has definitely helped with my US geography. We ended up traveling through 25 states, and if you hand me a blank map of the USA I can probably fill in most of the states now (I don’t make any promises for the middle of the country still).

I’m slowly regaining the concept of the days of the week; it’s a slow and steady process. I might have it back fully by September.

Last night at dinner Ilona’s dad asked us about our favorite places and meals on the trip, and I think that’s a good way to end my last blog. I think that my favorite places on the trip were Lake Tahoe, the Pacific Coast Highway through Big Sur, and New Orleans. As for my favorite meals, I’m not sure I can pick. We had so much amazing food and I really enjoyed all of it! Cooking for myself again in September is going to be very sad, that’s for sure.

We experienced a few glitches and some changes along the way, but overall everything went pretty smoothly. I really enjoyed visiting with friends and family, and meeting some of Ilona’s friends and family. If you are reading this and are one of the people we visited, thank you again for your hospitality!

I can’t express to you how happy I am that I can now cross off cross-country road trip from my giant life to-do list! :) Thanks for reading along and sharing the experience with me!
