Americans love road trips.  It is part of our cultural heritage.  We hope for an odyssey of self-discovery or at least a chance to get laid!  Here's what I learned on my 3-state journey.

• I pack too much clothing!  I only used half of what I brought.
• Teenagers are annoying from any culture, speaking any language.
• 10 hours of driving is about my physical limit.  I will push it if there are only a couple more hours to go.  I will not again drive 15 hours in one day by myself if I can avoid it.
• As a single woman sitting in a bar alone, (usually older) men will eventually hit on me.
• I can feel at home pretty much anywhere.
• I can do more than what I believe myself capable of doing!
  
• I didn't know how to spell odyssey.
