The topic of my wiki page is how to survive your American road trip. This past fall three friends and I in barked on a road trip across the nation. We were on the road for about two months and the places we went and the people we encountered truly made it a life changing experience. The first and most important step to having a successful experience is to travel with people you can handle being around all day. My travel companions are three of my oldest and best friends. We all went to summer camp together and have been friends ever since our first summer at Camp Dudley. Alex is my cousin so naturally I knew we would get along swimmingly. David was the first person I ever met at Camp Dudley and we’ve been paling around since we were elven years old. Pete (shorty) and I lived together for a period of time so I was confident that we had a solid crew. The second step is planning, destinations, lodging and sights. Between the four of us we had a great network of college aged friends, resent college grads and family friends to stay with. We only had to stay in a hotel twice and we camped out once. Not paying for lodging was the most helpful part of making this trip affordable. Also the people hosting you will always point you in the right direction to great sights, restaurants and other forms of entertainment. This is a country full of nature beauty, not being afraid to pull over and check something out is a good thing to remember. Our most memorable moments happened on a whim, having a plan is important not being afraid to deviate from it is even more important. Another thing to remember is “when in Rome” when in a new city try the local food, drink and live in the life style of the city, do as the locals do.
