Day: 128 Leaving the country for a few hours we crossed into Canada to see Niagara Falls and have the most expensive meal at a chain diner of the whole trip. Loading back into Skittles we drove across a rainy Canada into Michigan (spending two hours getting back into the US) found a White Castle [...]
Day: 127 We left Boston heading into Maine, then about an hour later I realized I left my phone in the last cab we were in. Bummer. I called it a couple of times but no answer. No worries we kept driving, across New Hampshire, Vermont (where I found some fresh Vermont cheese), and New [...]
Day: 126 First things first, I shaved off my civil war beard. It was fun for a day but I just can’t manage to look that white trash for more than one twenty four hour period at a time. Maybe I’ll grow it back in Cambodia and see how it works for me there. Matt, [...]
Day: 125 This morning I shaved myself a wicked new beard in a style that, when I meant new people and they asked; “What do you do for a living?” I could reply “I specialize in civil was re-enactments and photography and am working towards my doctorate in civil war history at Northwestern.” I am [...]
Day: 124 We all got up kind of late, after the late night in a thoroughly sweaty mosh pit (in which all of our shirts were completely soaked through with sweat) and some crowd surfing for me it was really needed. When I finally did manage to get up, I turned on my computer and [...]
Day: 123 Today after a morning of not much activity we left Joerg’s house to go into Boston to see a Brand New concert. We wandered the streets for a while, had dinner and drinks and went into the concert where I was easily the oldest person there (other than a few parent who had [...]
Day: 122 It’s time to finally leave New York and head into Massachussets to stay for a couple of nights with Joerg, a family friend of Aarons. We managed to get a late check out of our hotel and climbed aboard Skittles after 1 o’clock and pass through the most states in a single afternoon. [...]
Day: 121 With plans to get out of the city today (not that we wanted to, but it was far to expensive to stay) we stumbled out of bed around 11:30am and tried to attempt to get ready to leave (it had been a rough night). Just minutes after our return to the world of [...]
Day: 120 We are not the most excessive of planners (long time readers already know this about me), when I joined this little road trip across the country the only thing the boys had planned on was a concert and a Red Sox game in Boston. This left us to try and fill in the [...]
Day: 119 Waking up just in time for our noon checkout (this seems to be becoming general practice), we were headed into New York City today, supposedly just a short two hour (127 mile) drive up the Garden State Parkway, over the Jersey Turnpike, and through the Lincoln tunnel. Sound easy huh? Well not in [...]
