On Saturday morning we woke around 9:30am. The first order of business was to dial room service and have them bring up a $14 pot of coffee and a pitcher of ice water. As mentioned in my previous post, there were no coffee makers in the hotel rooms, and desperate times call for desperate measures.

Good fortune must be the theme of 2009, as I’ve found myself luckier and happier every day since the new year began. I feel more energetic than I have in ages, and everything seems to be working out just as it should.
Today I had my first ever set of passport photos taken. It happened to be [...]
Despite my serious bout of the flu, we decided to go ahead with our trip to the states over the weekend. I was feeling mostly better, and I didn’t want to pass up the chance to see more of America, and to cross a thing of two off of my bucket list.
After some discussion, we [...]
As much fun as we had in Chicago, we were glad to get the hell out of there (as far as traffic went). We paid FOUR TOLLS on the way out, damn them.
We didn’t see a lot between Chicago and Michigan, where we camped that last night. Passing Climax was amusing, as was driving though [...]
We enjoyed our complementary breakfast on Thursday morning before checking out of the Holiday Inn and heading for Chicago. A generous blogger pal of mine had offered to tour us around for the day, and we were looking forward to a break from driving and having a chance to see the sights.
On our way to Chicago [...]
After a blessedly restful sleep at the KOA, we hit the road Tuesday morning feeling a lot more alert than we had the previous days.
Wyoming was really, really hot. We discovered that ferrets will pant when they get hot enough (yes, we had V’s ferret along for the trip) and that no amount of swearing [...]
After a very chilly and miserable night, we woke up roasting to death in our tent under the heat of the sun, and the wind was threatening to blow us away. We were fatigued and more than a little sore from sleeping on the ground, but I promised V we would stop in Billings and [...]
A summary of our Saturday, spent preparing for our week-long road trip can be found here and here. I won’t bother going over everything that happened that day, but needless to say, our trip was off to an interesting start, LOL.
Sunday marked Day One of Shasta & V Do America. We said our goodbyes and [...]
GOOD MORNING!!! I am writing this at a picnic table near Sheridan, Wyoming at about 7:30 in the morning. V and I pulled into a KOA (Kampground of America) last night at the end of Shasta & V Do America - Day Two. The trip has been really awesome so far, although our [...]
