B-I-N-G-O!

It was suggested that I offer a fun play-along game on my trip. Well, actually, this began as a pool amongst my co-workers deciding how I was likely to perish on my trip. I thought it would be more fun to make it less death-y and more fun, while maintaining it's moderate terribleness.

So I present to you - Barb's Route 66 Bingo. Let me know if you want a card to play along. There are several of these that are definite gimmees, but hopefully some will never come to pass. Particularly those involving snakes, tornadoes and bears. I could live with a night in the slammer *if necessary.

*i just noticed that I put "get arrested" on here twice. Make of that what you will...

That's a lot of miles~

Here is my itinerary - I have places to sleep, which is a good idea. Very little chance of bear attacks...

Kicks-getting Comences Soon





Yes, I am less than one week out from my summer adventure. I will be documenting it here so before I begin, I wanted to post some interesting links that friends and husbands (okay, one friend, one husband...) have sent me that might just have some impact on my travel adventures.








My beloved sent me this one - https://weather.com/travel/commuter-conditions/news/27-strangest-sights-route-66-20140613#/1 from the weather channel. Some very cool looking features here.








My pal Shilpa sent me this one -  http://www.abebooks.com/books/features/route66/  -  she knows me so well!








Finally, I found this some ludicrous place or another - http://www.metv.com/lists/9-delicious-regional-soft-drinks-we-still-crave-to-this-day -   I spent a childhood drinking Vernor's and Faygo. Dr. Brown's was out go-to Thanksgiving beverage and I can get Moxie here. Although why I would want to...blech. I had Sundrop on vacation before and feel deeply in love with Cheerwine in the Outer Banks a couple years ago. This leaves Big Red, Green River and Vess to be tried out. I can't wait!
And yes, I am as concerned as you are that I spent three times as much blog-space on exotic sodas as I did on bookstores and points of interest. I think if I call it a SODA CHALLENGE it will be less concerning. Let's do that, shall we?
