Hey Everybody,
I am taking off for a trip around the USA on August 1, and plan on returning October 1. I will be driving to various National Parks and Baseball Stadiums. Saving money since January for this trip has been a struggle, but I finally made my goal and can set out a week from today.
I will be updating this blog periodically, and using twitter @N_Mcnaughton and facebook to keep everyone updated and share some beautiful pictures and exhilirating experiences. My Itinerary is the first post on the blog, if you scroll to the bottom.
If you will be in any of these places please let me know so we can meet up!
Also, if anyone has any suggestions in these destinations, feel free to comment and share them with me.
Wish me luck, and I hope you know how to use Western Union to wire me some money when I run out!!!
