Everyone keeps asking me about New Zealand. I honestly do not know what to expect, other then what I've read and researched. That being said, I am not completely clueless about NZ, I just don't know what to expect from the journey if that makes any sense. When I had left Pennsylvania, and headed NW into Canada on my route up to Alaska, it was a very surreal feeling. I was leaving everything and everyone behind to go off on an adventure trip. (and boy was it!) ...

Howdy readers... In 9 days I will be off on the next leg of my adventure across this great big world we all live on. I've been spending the past month just planning this next leg. LOTS OF PLANNING. So much in fact that it made my head spin on a daily basis and wondering "is all this planning really neccessary." Well, unfortunately or fortunately it is. I am leaving Tuesday March 2nd and flying a short flight west to LAX where I have a nice long 4 hour...

So, I headed out of Vegas and back thru the hoover dam (again) One gets sick of that dam when you ride thru it 3 times in less then 5 days. I rode route 40 eastbound, which ...

Day 78 (day 5) A hunka hunka burning love Al and I spent the night on old route 66 in Arizona. Which was pretty cool. A small town and a tiny little strip left over from its heyday. but so awesome! Apprently most of the old route 66 towns have all gone away, so being able to stay the night in one was pretty cool indeed.
