I've got so many tabs in this book, I need to make a solid plan to actually check some of these visits off my list! Definitely gave me some good ideas for a cross-country trip. ( )

Even the most avid traveler would be well challenged to take advantage of such an ambitious itinerary before shuffling off this mortal coil. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try!

Nick Stringas laughs at lost luggage, wrong turns, and canceled flights - always with a smile the size of Montana - reminding me that there's no such thing as a bad trip. (From the acknowledgments)
