Wish you were here?

Well now you can be with our fully interactive blog.

a. Sit on your washing machine or tumble drier (this will simulate the diesel engine and mud terrain tyres)
b. Stare at this picture for 5 hours:


c. Should you get bored, you may stare at this picture:


d. Stop for lunch and stare at this picture of the Mississippi (admittedly this was quite nice) for 20minutes:


e. Repeat stages ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ for another 5 hours and 30 minutes.
f. Try to find a flight path to sleep under, preferably close to a motorway.

Special note: You may occasionally dance in your seat to music on the radio, but only if you can find a companion to give you a humiliating look whilst you do it.

…and you too have now experienced a day in the life of Dan and Jen’s Travel’s Across America.

Admittedly it wasn’t the most exciting day ever, we started off in corn fields and pulled up 10 and a half hours later in ..well, they can only be described as corn fields! Still, we made good progressing knocking another 585 miles on the head and everyone had warned us this part of the trip would be the most tedious. Hopefully one more day of it tomorrow and we should intersperse that with the Badlands, the first of our National Parks and the Mount Rushmore Monument. With any luck the day after we’ll be knocking on the metaphorical door of Yellowstone… NOW I’M GETTING EXCITED! :)

P.S. Nige (you should have mentioned Toronto! We've read your blog too you know..) and JU, this should mean more good piccies as well :) Rich, thanks for the news update. Mum - yup, it's a spare wheel! Glad to know the DLander and Max are famous, someone buy me a copy and I'll settle up on my return, don't want to miss it!
