Deliberation

So as most of you are aware, Parents never stop being parents regardless of how old their children get. My mom, who has stood beside me with any and every decision I have ever made, is once again attempting to do the same. :-) I say attempting because like most mothers out there, she is worried. Her exact words to me when I first told her I needed to talk about something I was planning were, “why, what are you doing this time?” I know it has been difficult for her in sooo many ways to have a daughter like me. But I do need to say this. You have no idea how powerful it is to have someone love and support you even if it goes against everything they believe in. I truly feel it is those people that will change the world.

On that note,

After a few conversations with my mother, some friends and a meteorologist I have decided to be really confused as to the direction of my tour. We, decided that driving Canadian Highways in the middle of winter was a little on the nutzo side and figured it was best for everybody’s sanity if I were to head south first and go from California, East. Of course, that still probably puts me on the East coast in the dead of winter instead of at the beginning when it is hopefully coming in like a lamb :-)

My original plan was to head East in Canada in October and be well on my way into the Southern part of the United States by early November.

HELP!!! I am hoping for a lot of feedback on this one as the direction of this tour seems to be the only
stressful thing right now. That and my Passport!
