It took my boyfriend Oli and me some time to decide whether or not to go to the U.S. this summer because we actually had no time for such a trip. However, when it comes to travelling it's never hard for me to decide - there's always just one alternative for me: "Go for it!"
The second thing we had to decide upon was where to go in the U.S.; but this decision wasn't hard either. We still had some friends from our study-abroad term in Champaign, Illinois in spring 1999 we really wanted to see again; I also made some American friends while being in India in 2001 I missed already; and moreover Oli has relatives in Oklahoma he hasn't ever seen or met before. According to our friends' and relatives' hometowns we planned a route right through the middle of America, covering as many friends as possible (I still didn't have the chance to meet all of them… well, the next time! That's a perfect excuse to go back :-))
The destinations we covered are for sure not THE typical tourist destinations the U.S. has to offer (like the East or the West Coast) but still we enjoyed every minute of our trip! We had a great time, had some interesting experiences and even more exciting encounters with different people!
So, if you're interested in the trip we made, check out the following links - I'm gonna provide you with some general information about the particular destinations, give you an insight what we did there and show you a small selection of my pictures. Hope you like 'em!
And don't forget, I would love to get a guestbook entry from you :-)
