Travel Advisory

Something happens every time I go to an airport -- even a little, itty-bitty one like the now-defunct Reading Regional Airport...

I get travel lust.

Seeing the luggage turnstiles, thinking about the destinations out there, reading the various license plates in the rental car park...

It all works against me -- and my sensible, homebody side -- and makes me want to GO...somewhere, anywhere, just to explore.

Recently, I've begun dreaming of driving across country...

According to Yahoo! Maps, it's a mere 2732.2 miles (38 hours, 11 minutes) from W. City, Pa., to Los Angeles, Ca.

Hmmmmm...

That's doable...very doable.

And while it won't happen any time soon...it's VERY freeing to know we're not locked up in our own backyard.

There's a huge world out there to explore...

One day.

(Loved this part! A little disclaimer...) When using any driving directions or map, it’s a good idea to do a reality check and make sure the road still exists, watch out for construction, and follow all traffic safety precautions. This is only to be used as an aid in planning. (No kidding!)
