A REAL one!
In a few weeks, I will be making a big move. Out of the country really. My plan is to drive my car that I've had for 9 years from where I am (South Florida) to Seattle and catch a flight home. I will be selling my car in Seattle in case you are wondering.
I am giving myself 3 weeks to do this trip, by myself. So a bit of charity will be great! By that I mean your generous time as tour guides and perhaps a place to crash for the night.... I can throw in a meal!
I am planning to drive by Texas (Austin or San Antonio) to Scottsdale where I have a friend. Then drive north via Salt Lake ( cus I want to see the Salt flats), then to Boise ID ( know someone there, hopefully he will be kind enough to take me in). If time permits, I want to see if I can make a detour to Yellow stone, then head towards Seattle.
I've done road trips alone before, but just over night drive moving from one city to another. I've done travel by myself (air) hopping between parts of the US for 3 weeks, but never a long one driving. I bet by the end of it, I'd hate to get into a car. I love to drive anyways, and have always wanted to take my little coupe on a journey like this. I can't think of a better way to end my 10 year stint in the US though, although the real big trip of my dream is to take it all the way to Alaska.
Seattle is good enough I guess. So any suggestion, places to stop by on the way, must-taste places (big food person), best BBQ along the gulf, photo spots, weird towns etc? Any one offering their time or couch?
Planning to do the trip between mid Aug to mid Sept, hope that the weather will be good. It's too early to see fall colors, but late enough to escape some summer heat.
I've been "displaced" from home since I was 8. It's probably a fitting thing to do to end my hobo life with an epic hobo experience.
