5 days until the trip and to confirm the crazy that everyone says I am I have posted our "guide" for the trip. This table really confirms that amount of miles that we will riding each day. We are not going to stop at every spot, but we wanted to have an idea of places to visit in order to be prepared for the worst. Even though we are both going to be pharmacists - for some reason only I am the one who is stressing about not having a schedule/map. My partner in crime (Zach) has always been laid back and does not need a fancy map/schedule. The whole point of this trip for myself is to learn how to go with the flow. I will let you know if this trip is successful at this goal or not.
I am most looking forward to Cypress Swamp Exit 122 on the trace. The pictures look amazing and I hope to see an alligator! I have never been to this part of the United States and I am excited to see the beauty of the south everyone claims.
If anyone has ever been on this trip and has suggestions please let me know!
