It's just one week till our second Mono team meeting in Boston and I'm already very excited about it :-)
Like last time, I'm also combining it with some vacations again and spend the two weeks after the meeting on the road. I'm leaving Boston on the 23rd, the Saturday after our meeting and start driving south. My first stop is Clemson, SC where I'll visit my friend Olli who's currently visiting his american girl friend. After a few days, I'll hit the road again and start driving west.
I still need to find some historical maps and driving directions, since I want to follow the ledgendary Route 66 from St. Louis till Santa Monica. I don't think I'll visit Las Vegas this time, that'd be just too expensive, but I definitely want to see the Grand Canyon and - if time (and gas price) - permits, take the US 101 south over the Golden Gate Bridge ....
