Planning the Great Road Trip

May 8, 2016 – Jim: A preliminary planning map for our next trip.

It’s 9500 miles of driving. Plus, I’m flying 2500 miles from Maui to Vancouver, just to get to the mainland. We’ll be all Summer on the road, and if our earlier trips to Arizona and Mexico are any indication, we’ll probably melt Facebook servers with the quantity of photos and videos we upload.
