DM Osbon at Sweet Flag has tagged me with the four things meme. Who am I to refuse?

- Once Upon a Time in the West.
- The Terminator 1 & 2.

Hey Stropp
Did you keep a journal on your 9400 mile road trip? I’m sure that would make for a good read…
The trip was 2 years ago before I started blogging. I did consider setting up a online journal with pictures and notes at the time, but never got around to it. I’d been seconded over to the US for 2 1/2 years and I took six weeks off to do the road trip with a friend who came over from Australia. With finishing up a job and arranging all my return plans, I never really got the time to properly look into doing a journal.
There were more than a few incidents that would make a good story. But most of it was spent driving.
