My Friend James had come through with the goods and delivered an email to my inbox on monday morning that is still shining a light in my traveling heart. In it, he outlines an approximate itinerary for our cross country trip to America.
As we are based in Sydney the wise man begins with a flight from Sydney on the 6th of February 2010. First problem getting to the airport with no money! From Sydney Airport we fly to Los Angeles catch a connecting flight to the Big Apple, New York City. This will mean arriving the same day on the 6th of Feb! Party time!
After drinking and eating as much as we can in New York we hope to be able to drive down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras! Leaving on the 8th of Feb and arriving into New Orleans on the 15th. At this stage we have no idea how long this will take and no idea how many random museums we are going to stop at.. I did come across a website filled with useless stops to make on a road trip! I am sure there will be plenty of things to keep 5 resourceful guys entertained on the open road… Can you buy fireworks somewhere along that road!?
After partying down in New Orleans with 100,000 of our new closest friends we are planning on flying to Vegas on the 18th. Vegas will probably be a highlight and after initial talk of visiting the Las Vegas Rugby 7’s it was all to hard and put on the back burner for another time. The next move on this colossal trip is to drive to LA… Now to be perfectly honest with you I couldn’t think of anything worse by this time I anticipate raging hangovers, 10 girls trying to squeeze into our car and a few pit bosses chasing us down the strip.
So this is where I come to a cross road… get it cross road.. the road between Los Angeles and the airport! So I will be campaigning for a short plane flight into LAX so we can party the night away like the rest of the Hollywood wannabes. The theory is that I don’t like too much driving at the expense of beers.. The beer to gear ratio I call it…
Sydney will look like a beacon of hope shining in the distance by the time the 25th of Feb rolls around and we depart leaving a trail of nothing but good times and fond memories. With the help of my valued readers this dream will become a reality and of course your comments and criticisms are welcome and I look forward to taking a few of your suggestions on board.
