The time until my planned departure date of June 19 is rapidly passing. As I
make plans, I feel like there just isn't enough time to do all the things I
need to do to prepare, or make pre-trip arrangements. Of course, too much
planning takes the spontaneousness out of the trip; that idea of just
getting on the bike and heading off, letting the road bring it what it will.
Where this applies to me is the conflict between the spontaneousness (I
can't spell spontenaeity) and being on schedule (and covering a lot of miles
in a finite amount of time). Some of you have offered places to stay and/or
stow  the bike, and I thank you. Over the next week or so, I'll be sending
out and/or posting a timeline, with windows of when I hope to be dropping in
on people. There is also the conflict of enjoying what the different areas
have to offer (the Aquarium in Newport, OR, for example), and getting down
the road. I haven't done this before, so I don't know how much sightseeing
and local traveling can happen in a 13-14 day trip that covers over 5,000
miles.
I appreciate the feedback I have gotten so far. Keep it coming.
I hope to have a modest website devoted to this trip., I've already started
bugging Jules to help set this up, and could use other assistance and
suggestions (except for writing a little HTML years ago, I'm not too savy).
You know, daily uploads with that day's trip log, pictures, videos,
interviews of ducatisti and anyone else who crosses my path. Cool idea, huh?
