Literally. 

Over 3240 miles, 115 gallons of gas, and $372 spent on gas later, Better Half and I are safely in California.  Well, we were technically in California on the 27th of May, and at our destination on the 28th, but things have been a little busy since then, and I have not had time to come by here and let you all know that we did, indeed, survive.  Sorry.  One of my tires was perforated (just required a patch), and my back right seat was also punctured (blame my Route 66 sign), and I lost my cell phone charger (God knows where...  Louisiana has big gators), but Better Half and I made it just fine, and had a blast of a time. 

For those interested, pictures of our jaunt can be found at my Picasa web album.  Not all of them are up yet (nowhere near), and only some of those that are up have explanations attached to them, but more and more pictures will be added over the following days.  Additionally, posts giving the day-by-day highlights and interesting locations will also be added to this weblog at some point in the future.  Catch you all later!
