Travel Prep

I was just looking at flights trying to decide if I fly into Forth Worth TX  and take my time to drive up to Denver as Qantas has just started direct flights into Fort Worth or do I land in LA and drive, I think I'll go with Fort Worth it's closer to Denver. But I could land any place and fly into Denver and just grab an SUV when I get there. So many options and not a clue.

I was just looking at the Motel 6 site and they're map is OMG. When did I have to drive through Memphis from FW to Denver? By rights you don't Motel 6 obviously doesn't provide the shortest route possible. On the upside a side tour of Memphis would be good because I'd love to go to Graceland. I'd also get to stop in the Springs to see a friend but I'm put of this idea cos where she lives sounds rough.

I joined Road Trip America tonight and it makes me want to drive, I love to drive give me good music and a can of Mother and I'm good to rock n roll at least 10hrs. $500 approx will get me a Ford SVU for 10 days out of LA and as I have to fly back out of LA or Texas it doesn't sound that bad.

Flights from FW or LA to Denver are cheap but as never having done a long haul flight that I can remember maybe I won't want to get on another plane until I have to.

Note to self remember to drive on the wrong side of the road at all times.
Getting kinda excited just the thought of passing through Lubbock Texas the birthplace of Buddy Holly makes me go "Oh FFS"
My first big international trip and I am a bit OMG about doing it on my own but I can't wait either.

  1. Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you've never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground. Flights to Dar Es Salaam
