The cross-country story

It took me some time to put this entire story in place with all the original pictures and anecdotes. All the photographs published related to this trip was either taken by Ria or me. Undoubtedly, we had the vacation of our life – if I ever get the opportunity to do it, I will do it again. If anyone is traveling from the east to west or west to east – I will suggest do cross-country, it will be an experience of your life. Most importantly use the AAA Internet Triptek – it is such a veritable cornucopia of information. We made all the hotel reservation in advance and planned the entire trip. Some people prefer it to be some sort of an adventure, but we decided that at the end of the day, hunting for a hotel would be a real pain. Make sure you have adequate clothing for the trip and plan the unforeseen. [For example, we didn’t keep any warm clothes with us and had to buy on the way.] Also make sure to service your car and change your tires if required. Keep the tire pressure-measuring gauge handy. AAA membership is a must for such a trip. We also didn’t have much luggage with us – both the suitcases were in the trunk – it is not safe to keep any of your luggages in the car other than the trunk.
