Finally In The Us
Hi to everyone. I have reached the US after this dumb ride from Mexico via Tierra del Fuego on my Honda 125 ( Blog at home). Right now I am in Galveston and about to talk with University students. I plan heading to New Orleans next, then Nashville and north to Kentucky before heading east to the coast and on up through Washington to my daughter's home in Duchess County, NY. Anyone on the route have time for a cold beer with a very old Brit?
:oops2:simon |
just a little more North..
Simon-
if you change and come to Milwaukee the beers are on me! John |
Let us know if you are heading to the west coast
|
Well done!
Simon,
I think that is a record, at least in the recent past. Well Done! I am in Manie, so I don't think you are coming this far.... I am curious which way you chose to go north in SA. I responded to your "Architecture and Shrimp" blog, but didn't hear back??? Toby (charapa) Around the Block 2007 | |
Simon,
As long as you are headed east and north there are three roads you don't want to miss -- ideally suited to your 125. The Natchez Trace, runs from Natchez, Miss. to Nashville, Tenn. and the Blue Ridge Parkway, runs from Cherokee, North Carolina to Waynesboro, Virginia. The Skyline Drive from Waynesville to Front Royal, Virginia. Look em up on your map. If you dont mind a short detour- 40 miles- I can offer a warm bed, washing machine, workshop and a good southern meal. |
Galveston Ehh!!!??

I'm in Sacramento but I'll be crossing the US in May. Any idea where you'll be? May 4 - May 18 or so. I plan on flying to India around May 20th to start Round 2. Still need to buy a ticket for that but still haven't figured out exact date I'll be back.

Congrats to you, and great writing. :thumb

Congratulations, Simon. I've been reading part of your blog, it seems to have been a heck of a ride so far.

Home For May
Pete, my butt wouldn't last as far as the West Coast. Dave, sorry to miss you. I plan catching a flight home to England from NY the last week in April. I am anxious to discover how much damage my wife has done to my roses...and the first volume of this travel trilogy is due for publication in May. Have a great trip, simon
