Giant Whales and Cadillacs on Route 66 in Oklahoma and Texas

The road trip continues. Leaving the desolate stretch of Route 66 in Kansas behind, I paid a visit to the World’s Largest Totem pole before spent a night in a classic Route 66 motel in Oklahoma. From there my journey west continued as I watched the scenery morph from mountains …

Giant Whales and Cadillacs on Route 66 in Oklahoma and Texas – This and That

I had a defective gas pump outside Oklahoma City. First it kept shutting off like it was done even though I had just started pumping. Next, after finally finding a position that kept it on, the thing actually overflowed my gas tank. A man who worked at the gas station …

Sorry Oregon Trail, I’m taking bedbugs to go with my trip through Americana on Route 66 in Missouri and Kansas

Change of plans. Instead of shooting north to take the Oregon Trail, I’ve decided to just stay on Route 66 all the way to Los Angeles. It’s just too much fun! After leaving St. Louis, I spent a two full days doing nothing but driving The Mother Road and taking …

Religious Farmers, Smoking in Restaurants and Other Observations

When I asked for directions at a post office in Missouri, the woman actually said to me, “go west young man.” Classic. Store employees are constantly impressed by my New York license plate and how far I’ve driven. Some nights I eat out…others I eat random foods I brought with …

British GPS’, 50ozs of Coke, Budweiser Brewery Tours and Other Observations

Due to a silly law that any car 1995 or older must be inspected in the city it is registered in, I had to drive back to New York City for an inspection instead of heading directly to Washington, DC to begin my trip. No big deal, but it was …

A 1,500 Mile Road Trip With No iPod

Camping gear packed in the car? Check! Clothing, cameras, directions? Check, check, check. iPod for music during our 1,525 mile road trip? Uh oh…what’s this frowny-faced icon on the screen?! Guess we have to grab whatever CDs are laying around and my old high school Discman. That’s how Carrie and …

A 1,500 Mile Road Trip With No iPod – This and That

New York is a HUGE state. The people in Canada are so friendly. Is it a coincidence that the Canadian border guard was super nice while the NY one was a huge jerk? Why would you have six empty blackjack tables when there are huge lines to get on the …

Shorts and Flip Flops in December…AKA, Florida Tales

Five vacation days that don’t carry over to 2008 could mean only one thing…vacation time! Don’t worry, this email won’t be as epic as my usual ones since not as much crazy stuff happens when you’re in Florida with a rent-a-car. YAAAAR, SAID THE PIRATE I’m sure everyone has heard …

Observations From Southern Florida

Our rental car was the same exact car my mom just bought. In Key West we stayed with one of Carrie’s high school friends who she reconnected with on MySpace after 10 years for a few days. Jet skiing is awesome! I think mosquitoes have developed an immunity to OFF. …
