It has been a rather boring week and though there is not much going on in "John's Crazy World"...he has many ideas on things to do to spice up his life (again).
More traveling perhaps. My goal is to get most of the U.S under my belt by 2007 and then to try and finally make my much "WANTED" journey across the "pond" to Europe.....
So far in my life, I have traversed and or passed through the following states besides my own home state of Wisconsin: Ill, Minnestoa,South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, California, Nevada, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Indianna, Ohio, Pennsilvanya, NY, Conneticut, Virginia and DC, and Florida.
So that is 23 states. Almost half....and only 27 more to go.
The company I work for has a very cool "Holiday Trade out program" available to all of it's associates.
The Marriott Hotel Corporation offers it's accociates the ability to stay free at the majority of it's U.S. hotels over the holidays. One can use the program as many times as they from now until the end of Janruary but can only stay at "one specific hotel" only two nights. So if one were to string a vacation together, like I have done many times now, one can "theoreticly" stay "FREE" at all of their destination hotels....kind of cool ha??
So I am thinking of planning a little road trip to the southern U.S. during the cold month of Jan. 2006 and maybe even get a chance to visit my extended family down in Florida.... if I go down slightly and across to the east I could probably get quite a few more states under my "belt" along the way.
And from the Tempurature picture above (of Florida), it is alot warmer down there than it is up here in Wisconsin right now.......
Another idea is another "Amtrak Trip" out to the NorthWest where I have some friends that live on the upper portion of the West Coast. I could take a train called the "Empire Builder" out to Washington State and then spend a few days with them on the coast.
I am just in the planning stages right now so...stay tuned.
