I met Road Trip Nation yesterday at SUNY Geneseo's campus. I found out about the company just 2 days prior. It was love at first sight.  I am instinctively and entirely taken with this idea. While I've had 2 papers and a midterm to be working on.. it's all I can think about. Where I want to go. Who I want to interview. I just can not wait to start. I'm ready to get back on the open road. I'm ready to ask my ...

... the seat of our pants. We have a place to meet and sleep in Venice and a flight to get us from Rome to Athens, but Lonely Planet and Rick Steves will have to help us fill in the gaps as we go. This goes very much against my strong organizational tendencies, but I'm going to use it as an exercise in spontaneity and run with it. I depart Tuesday evening around 5pm from Rochester. My cousin Susan is visiting from ...

We left to drive to Debbie B's house to meet up. I was transporting her daughter and boyfriend and our stuff was going in their panel van. Everyone else was leaving from their own homes. One group was driving the entire way on Sunday. It wasabout a 5 hour and 30 minute drive to Bath from home. We stopped in Clark's Summit, PA for lunch. It rained off and ...

Wow! What a day! To start with, before setting up our event today we stopped by the grocery store across the street to find some lunch and ran into Kirk Cameron (from Growing Pains, Left Behind, and Way of the Master), who was out with his kids picking up some groceries! He was very nice and we enjoyed chatting with him. He is such a nice guy. After working in ...

... with them too. Kind of makes you want to just hang around and chat all day! And if human companionship isn't enough, the weather is just perfect for sitting in the line of rocking chairs on the front porch and watching the world go by! I'm sleeping surprisingly well. The bed, as usual, doesn't work. I try, but I can only last a few hours. But in our "sitting room" are two massage chairs. Last night I climbed ...

... of Fish Market White?) Walt was philosophical. He said at least he'd had a nice drive in the country and I had had a nice nap, which I needed since I'd been awake since 4:30 a.m. Instead we came back to the Maxfield Inn so I could recharge the camera batteries and work on the first part of this journal, then we changed and headed down the street to the Imagine ...

... our final destination. In Batavia, we learned how to cross streets with a stoplight But the highlight was, of course. the Jello Museum. After we left there, we had lunch in Leroy at a reconverted train station, where I ordered the chicken pot pie (the smaller "Senior size", which advertised the flakiest crust in the world and I am a HUGE pie crust aficionado. All I can say is ...

Only one week left untill I leave for Florence!! I'm getting increasingly excited to leave, but have been very busy getting things together. I am going to try to keep everyone updated on everything I am doing while I am in Italy using this travel blog. I hope you like it!

Well today was to one of those days when you were doing stuff cos you felt you had too, not cos you necessarily wanted to. Now every dumbarse in the world has heard of Niagara Falls......and most assume its a waterfall..... Wrong!!!! Its a ******* lake and a theme park more trashy than Hollywood and more screwed up than Bogner. Lets start at the beginning..... We started early at Mc-e-dees with a coffee, no sugar for me and a sugar ...

... s said that this hostel is a really good one so I am assuming that things can only get worse!! ;o) Anyway the bar crawl took us to a really cool street in Toronto called College Street and we ended up in a dodgy rock club called the Mod club where the DJ was classic - if you can imagine a cross between Rave-on from Phoenix Nights and Eye-Ball Paul from Kevin and Perry Go Large then you might get close to who was DJ-ing, he was really ...
