We don’t usually post details about the road trip until March/April. However, we couldn’t resist sharing the name of next year’s road trip.

Road Trip Fun
One of our new additions to this year’s road trip is the Foursquare application. With Foursquare you check into places and can earn special badges. We look forward to using Foursquare to track where we go and hope to unlock some unique badges available only in specific locations.
Some possible badges we might unlock include the Wall Street Journal Urban Adventurer Badge, the Gossip Girl Badge, or the Today Show Newbie Badge.
We are fairly certain, however, that we will not be earning the Last Degree Badge.
Stay tuned to see what we unlock on our adventures!

Live from Minneapolis, It is Saturday Night
My creation, originally uploaded by Litandmore.

Writing a final post on the road proves a struggle. Do you feel like you drove beside us for over 7,000 miles? Anecdotes do not give justice to this experience of a lifetime. How many people can say that they drove over 7,000 miles in just under three weeks, all while seeing site after site? We are the road trip truck drivers (Toot! Toot!).
Go Farther West ’09 consumed our brains for so many months. So much energy revolved around “not” planning the perfect road trip– although as June 9th or 10th approached, the desire to Go Farther West consumed nearly every thought. It is crazy to think that tomorrow we will be home and GFW ’09 will be relegated to a series of fond memories. Some of our favorite memories are…
Getting in the car at precisely 5:30 AM with no idea which direction the car was headed only to be asked 45 minutes later how Donna felt about having BBQ in Memphis that night and jambalaya in New Orleans the next
Watching John’s reaction at the Texas rest stop when he looked up to see a raccoon in a nearby garbage can
Taking a self-guided tour of The Orange Show in Houston when John and Donna arrived after hours and the nice lady from across the street let them in as long as they promised to lock up
Listening to the surf pound outside our window in Bandon, OR as we drifted off to sleep after a long day of driving
Learning that all of our favorite shows were not filmed on location
Singing “it’s a small world after all”
Playing road trip cards and learning things, such as, We ARE GOING TO SAN DIEGO
Staying at a 4 star hotel in the French Quarter for less than we paid for parking in San Francisco
Driving through Glacier National Park in Canada in the middle of a rainy night
Nightly rituals (None of your business)
Walking around Roswell, NM
Listening to Michael Jackson’s autopsy report while viewing a desolate marsh in Saskatchewan
Admiring the Seattle Public Library
Wondering what it would be like to live in San Francisco
Turning off our air conditioning in the middle of California
Wondering about Lou Grant
Enjoying a fantastic dinner sitting at Mary’s Table
Getting Diet Coke for $1.00
Celebrating a birthday in Seattle
Enjoying the 60 degree temperature in Carlsbad Caverns
Drifting to sleep thinking, “What a Day”

John takes time away from admiring beautiful Lake Louise to read his favorite Canadian travel book written by two authors he adores.

Donna took a moment out of her day to read the latest bestseller. Oh, yeah, that is Lake Louise behind her. Isn’t it just fantastic?
