I left Boston on May 5th, 2002 in my stately pleasure dome: 
the Celica's hatchback packed with magic markers, a video camera and journals...and a map of
the USA with highlighted places that had called to me on either a spiritual or
human-connection level.
I drove
down the coast, arriving at the Jersey
Shore. 
Evoke "Greetings from Asbury Park" and early Bruce Springsteen. Saltwater Taffy. Ski-ball and sunsets. I have the fondest memories of summers spent on the boardwalks with my cousins... and it was their beach house a few blocks from the beach that was my destination.
;
Then
to Washington D.C where I meditated for our nation at the top of the
Washington Monument
From
there I flew to Maui with Colleen.
We were Maui Babes
for a week.

Thru Middletown Ohio to Peoria (to visit my folks),
then south through East St. Louis...where my car broke down. On a Sunday. On a Holiday weekend.
Amazingly, I found a mechanic who had
me back on the road Monday morning.
Kansas City, here I come!
