A lot of this blog will be a recounting of the cross-country road trip that my lady Cathy and I experienced in the summer of 2009. We nicknamed it the "Summer of Love Tour" not only to honor the cultural phenomenon forty years earlier but also as a tongue-in-cheek test to see how well we would get along after 6500 miles.
We were faced with a pleasant dilemma of sorts. Each of us were compelled to attend our respective family reunions. Cathy's was near Jackson, Mississippi; mine was near Los Angeles, California. And then there was the Las Vegas BBW Bash that we wanted to attend. Of course, all of this was going to be happening in a four-week period. After trying to figure out the logistics of flying all or part of the journey, we decided we would be better off just driving. One of the greatest benefits was that we were able to visit parts of the country that we had never seen before.
I hope you enjoy this re-telling of our experience and that you learn something from it that will assist you in your own travels.
