May to October, 1999 - A Trip Across America

In May of 1999, we quit our jobs, put all our "stuff" in storage, and embarked on a trip across the USA.  We wanted to explore America and find a new place to live.  We traveled and lived in our trusty travelvan, Vincent Van Go, for six months.  Below is a week-by-week journal of our adventure.
