Filling in the Blanks

It became obvious to us by the second day of the trip that we weren't going to have tons of time to do much with this blog. About the only thing we had time for each night was to upload the day's photos of Arthur and give a super quick rundown of the days events.

We were generally so wiped out we couldn't even be bothered to label the photos, we have since gone back and done that, so you might want to revisit our Flickr Photostream. Our routine would generally be to wake up before 9am so we could get the "continental breakfast" before the Potels cut it off. Then try to get out on the road sometime before 11am. In the car it seemed like we were always busy planning out what we would do in the next spot, where we would eat next. It was hard even trying to squeeze a twitter in.

We would then go to all the spots we planned on, or at least as many as possible. We didn't really have time to spend much time at any one place or tour museums. It was like a vacation on speed. We then would generally try to find a Potel where we could stay by 11pm. We would then deal with the problematic wifi and post the pictures and crash.

So we only had two weeks and we wanted to get the most in, It was really only the half-way point, that middle Sunday in NYC that we felt like we weren't on speed. We had nearly a full-day to just explore Manhattan. We tried a few times to get off the interstates, but that just succeeded in us getting lost one time, and taking lots of time. So we were on many boring roads, but to be fair we got in plenty of interesting ones as well.

So in the next post we will try to come up with some awards like "most memorable meal" and so forth and shed a bit more detail on our race around the country.
