Ok, so I planned a road trip from Boston to Los Angeles - and guess where I am right now: in Canda ....
There's one cool thing I learned about the Canadians so far: the first motel I stopped had free wireless internet access - this it the first time I could go online since leaving Boston :-)
It's still a very long way to drive, but if everything works fine, I'll be in Vancouver tomorrow and in Los Angeles somewhere around late Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning or so. Maybe I'll also stay another day in Vancouver and/or Victoria and then take the train from Seattle - after spending 70 hours in a train I'm not scared of long train journeys anymore ....
Oh, and before I forget this: after that stupid hotel totally fucked up my trip and I was forced to take that train, I did some really exciting hacking on the long way west, will post more info when I'm back at home.
