Being that I am Kramer, I am off. Off on a grand adventure. When a friend asks me to accompany her on a road trip from Arizona to Minnesota, I gave a 'sure!' response without any hesitation. Why not? I have no job. I have no children or family. I have no responsibilities, well minimal responsibilities. Aren't these sort of trips what you're supposed to do when you are a young twenty-something, in between careers?? I mean, what do I have to lose? Nothing. And to be gained? Well, a once in a lifetime view of our great country! I love and am so thankful that these opportunities are presented to me, and even better, that I am able to take them up! Gosh, how do people survive with full-time jobs and full-time kids??
The plan. Well, there is none really. We have camping gear, hot weather clothes, an ice-chest, a short list of desirable destinations, and a comprehensive list of Guy Fieri's Diners, Dives and Drive-ins. Other than that, we will just let the road lead us where it may. Oh, you want to pull over at that funky gift shop? Ok. You want to stop and jump in that lake? Sounds refreshing! Food? I could go for some food. I've always wanted to see the Grand Canyon! Family in Arizona. A friend in Boulder. Friends in Omaha. A laid-back recipe for the perfect trip.
How long will I be gone? When am I coming home? Good question. I have no idea! The real kicker that makes this road-trip as carefree and spontaneous as possible, is that I do not have a return flight home! Yup, that's right. Whenever I feel like coming home, from where ever we are, I'll just jump on a plane. Who knows, maybe I won't come home?
Look out America, here we come!!
