Graceland will be my last stop, and I'll be glad to get home because my boyfriend will have been back from overseas for at least a month.
I'll be taking the wee dog for company since the weather will be cool or frickin freezing almost the entire trip. I'll be staying at KOA's or other campsites at places of interest. I won't be tenting by myself though. Too scary. I'll likely sleep in my Civic.
I will be dancing once I hit Oregon. Most likely a week at the Alaskan Bush Company there, then the Spearmint Rhino in Boise.
I'm also gonna book all the clubs that TINA recommended in MT, ND, & SD while seeing some of the places above on the way. They didn't seem too much out of the way. I'm hoping it won't be for the $$, but the entire trip will be over 10,000 miles and there is no telling what might go wrong. I've chosen the Civic over the Durango because it is mine and I trust it BUT I've also logged almost 300,000 miles on that sweet little car.
Well, I just had to go on & on about my trip. I'm so excited!! Maybe I'll meet a few of you along the way.
