Wow. What day is it? Thursday. In the month of August, I have been in/through 11 states and 3 different timezones. And now I'm sitting in Malmö, Sweden trying to recall it all.
Here's the jist.

Cross Country Road Trip... done. Would I do it again? Um...I need some time to think about it :) It would definitely need to be super luxury car that was not a 5-speed transmission to start with. Nor would I choose to drive through the desert in the middle of August. Some key factors to keep in mind... hehe.
