What's this blog all about then?

Welcome!

I've created this blog as a way of keeping family and friends updated about my upcoming trip from New Zealand to the USA.

The idea of a trip to the states popped up nearly two years ago, when I learned that the 27th National Narrow Gauge Convention was to be held in Portland, Maine in late August 2007.

The scope of the trip has grown a wee bit, and all going well, will cover about 11,000 miles (not including the bits in the big tin bird between Auckland and L.A.), 27 of the lower 48 states, all in 44 days!

I will post more detail about my itinerary over the next few days.

Only 19 more sleeps to go!! I think everything is pretty much under control too.
