halfway home!

sorry, sorry, sorry!

well, sorry to all three of you who read this. however, i know i was supposed to be updating this diligently, but, what can you do... it's harder to find internet access than i thought.

BUT, i'll give a quick overview of the past three days:

DAY 1: san diego, CA to Demin, NM. at least i think that's what the name was. anyway, it was all desert, and i mean all desert. going through tuscon, AZ was a bit anticlimactic and that's about it. at least mikey and i fart a lot. but we already knew that. and, we found it's helpful to play our tunes loud so when we sing with them we can't hear each other...

DAY 2: demin, NM to elk city, OK. this was a good one. we went through albequerque (sp?) and saw a funeral procession for a slain police officer that stretched for miles on the highway, i mean probably 10 miles, shut down a major highway going westbound and pissed off the truckers something wicked. we have a CB in the jeep, and it was something to hear the truckers rant. also, elk city, OK has probably the nicest holiday inn in the world.

TODAY (day 3): elk city, OK to collinsville, IL. we made this day up with the intention of going to the bud brewery in st. louis and getting the tour. well, we made it to st. louis, but found that those anheuser/busch assholes closed the gates on us before we could get there... so, we told st. louis (and the west bank of the mississippi) to eff off and we headed into illinois. had BBQ at the bandana's across from our lovely comfort inn, and we're headed to PA and amish country tomorrow.

we haven't killed each other, all is going great, and i have no idea in the world about how i'm going to manage to play in my rugby match saturday! pray for bad weather or something, i guess...

we're almost 2,000 miles in, and the U-haul's still hitched to the jeep. that alone is an accomplishment.

wish us well, and mahalo!
