1st Blog

Its 1st July and I leave for Seattle in sixteen days time!!

I am ready, but I am not! Spoke to my cousin Andrew in Silver Springs MD, and was reminded of many of the pitfalls of long distance driving in the USA. 

My most pressing matter is sorting a route and timetable as I cannot be late to meet Michelle on 18th August!!

So far my itinerary is as follows:

  • 16 July arrive in Seattle at around 6pm.  Collect the rental vehicle.  Suppose to be a Toyota Corrolla
  • Spend two nights in Seattle and go to the wharf and space needle
  • Head to Portland and stay with Vivian in Dundee
  • Spend no more than a week in Portland area and head for Pacific City and get feet wet!! I am going coast to coast and want to touch them both!!
  • Head up Columbia gorge via Walla Walla and towards Wyoming.  Visit Yellowstone Park
  • Drop into Denver, then head for South Dakota to Sioux country and Mt Rushmore
  • Head towards St Louis and Nashville.  Spend time in Nashville and live country!!
  • Head up Appalachian  Trail, going towards Newark.  
  • Collect Michelle on 18th August and travel towards Niagara Falls.
  • Return to New York and the various sights.  
  • End journey at Washington DC and cousin Andrew's place on the beach.  Dip feet in the Atlantic!!
So I sorted out my blog finally!  It will be linked to my twitter account
@correctguru
and if I can figure out Google+, will share it there too.  

Until the journey begins!!
