One Day Down...
So we made it to our first stop, safe and secure...A little wet but our clothes and things were dry. We had a wonderful first evening in New Fairfield with Christine and Christianne complete with chips and homemade salsa, delicious burgers and salad, a couple relaxing brewskies, and a nice cup of tea to end the evening. Along with a riveting round of worst case scenario, which may come in handy on our trip. Three hours from home the first drive was just a cake walk compared to what we will be venturing into, but it was a nice way to break in the car. We wish we could take Tilly along with us!
Now we begin day two and we are off to visit the Griswold clan in Port Jervis! Hopefully we will get to see some Eyth's and Drew's along the way too. No cheese no worries, Dad.

And herrreee we goooo!
Look out America, here come Rachel and Tyler. It is 2:16 pm Monday September 28th, it is warm and sunny out, not a cloud in the sky. We are embarking on our adventure! Our first stop is New Fairfield CT, a minor drive breaking in the car on our first day.
So here's to safe travels and we'll see you on the road! We'll miss everyone back home but we will see you soon enough.
Love,
Rachel and Tyler :)

One week to go!
Hi everyone! 
We are gearing up and counting down the days. Currently we are at 7 days and 10 hours til departure (those of you at NBCS have also been updated on this hourly countdown). Have we packed yet? Of course not! But we are very confident that we will be ready to go by Monday, the morning of September 28th. We've got our supplies, goods, and doodads, now all we need to do is put them in a bag, pack up the car, get in and go. Sound easy right? We'll see...
As most of you know, we have decided to take a trip of a life time. You only live once, right? We are about to embark on a 6 week, maybe longer, road trip in Tyler's 95 Camry...pray for us. Here is our tentative plan (including, but not limited to):
New Fairfield, CT
Port Jervis, NY
Cuyahoga Valley, OH (National Park)
Chicago, IL
Minneapolis, MN
Badlands, SD (National Park)
Billings & Bozeman, MT
Yellowstone National Park, WY
Seattle, WA
Olympic National Park, WA
Portland, OR
Arcata, CA
San Francisco, CA
Los Angelos, CA
Flagstaff, AZ
Grand Canyon, AZ
Bryce Canyon, UT
Zion Nation Park, UT
Arches National Park, UT
Albuquerque, NM
Dallas TX,
Cranfills Gap, TX (Auntie Jan's Ranch)
New Orleans, LA
Atlanta, GA
Charleston, SC
Washington, DC
Pipersville, PA
NYC
...and back to New England
Oh my lanta! Now that is a long list...
We'll be updating this as much as we can (or if we have a good story to tell).
Thanks to all of our friends and family that have offered us a place to crash for a night. We'll see some of you on the road, and for those of you at home, we hope your Autumn is as good as ours!
With love,
Tyler and Rachel
