It's starting to sink in for the both us that we are leaving in less than a week. I've been thinking about the books I wanted to have reread before the trip but haven't. Two of them are 'On the road' by Kerouac and 'Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance' by Pirsig. Great books and essential in more ways than one for this trip. The blog being a 'continuous scroll' for one, Pirsig's trip lasting 17 days another and living in the moment being essential for both books.
Living in the moment will truly be one of the most essential feelings for us. There are three parts to this journey - there's us, the car and the road. A set beginning and end, and that's it. Whatever in between is up to us. I can't fix the car if it breaks down ( I could if we were doing the trip on my motor bike) but we will sure be more confident in each other and any mutual challenges we might face in the future.
In June 2009 we travel from coast to coast on a 3000 mile roadtrip through the heart of America. We´ll try to get out of the car as much as possible in search of the best diners, rodeos, historical trails and slices of cherry pie that we can find.
