We went to Toronto today. I have been in Toronto before but never had any opportunity to see the sights. I was always there for business. We drove down to a mall outside the city and took the subway downtown. We took some pictures while we rode. We walked from the subway station and over [...]

I’m currently sitting in a small diner in Ferndale MI waiting for the bad weather north of me to pass. No need to get wet if if I don’t have to. Yesterday was fairly simple. Simple is relative, I know. [...]

Hi All!
I’ve successfully completed the first leg of my journey. I’ve made it to my friend Brian’s house in NC. He was kind enough to invite me to crash at his house. It’s a good excuse to hang out for a bit anyway.
Looking back on the first day a few things

I hope everyone enjoys [...]

I’m getting anxious as illustrated by the fact that I was up until 2 in the morning investigating routes and estimating mileage. I used Delorme Street Atlas to plan out what I know so far. I’m not big on planning this trip but I did want to get an idea of what I was taking [...]
