In early November, I'll be getting out of the Army after five years of service. I've got some complicated feelings on the subject that I might eventually share, but one very uncomplicated feeling will certainly be the most incredible sense of relief and release. What better way to celebrate my newly recovered freedom than to spend a few weeks roadtripping across this great country I spent five years of my life defending? Here's what my tentative itinerary looks like:
The only schedule so far is that I leave point A on the 4th of November, I need to be at point E by the 12th, and I'd like to finish at point L by Thanksgiving. Anyone anywhere within a couple hours of this general route who'd like me to stop by for a cup of coffee, a meal, or feels like offering me a bed (or couch) for the night, drop me a note and we'll see what we can work out. Oh, and anyone who'd like to join me for this, or even just for a leg of it, we should talk. I do really enjoy driving solo, but for 6,000 miles I'd certainly prefer some company.

As far as I know, I'm within 45 minutes of point L. Going home for Thanksgiving break, but will be back before and after.
Looks like a great trip. Have fun!
And stay away from the Crawfish Monica. You've been warned. I see that point C there, and it's dreadfully close to a friend of mine who cooks weirdo food.
Ditch this trip and join our already-in-progress Latin American Trip. By early November I expect I'll be in Panama, from which we will sail to Colombia, eating lobster and drinking beer while our truck is shipped on a barge to meet us on the other side of the Darien Gap.
I'll be waiting for you in the Madison WI area. Let me buy you breakfast back at the airport restaurant.
I'll look forward to it, Bruce.
