First Leg Report - no lovin'

So we have successfully knocked out our first part of the trip. We left Raleigh around 1130 Sunday morning and made it to Nashville around 7ish. Ate dinner at this kick ass diner - Browns Diner. Four dollar mouth watering burgers and a bowl of hush puppies for 1.75. Yes please - despite the fact the place looked like complete hole in the wall/crap - it was delicious. After dinner DP and I drove through Vanderbilt s campus - beautiful campus. We ende our tour if Nashville by walking around downtown on broadway. Wow- we saw two country bands play and they were awesome. We stopped in at Legends and some salon bar. These chicks new how to belt it out.

Now we are on our way towards st Louis. My travel companion wanted to stay at a hostel ... Yah a hostel. Um can say hell no? One I have seen that movie and I would be a prime candidate to be taken away and cut into pieces and two this America there are hotels and these great things called AAA discounts. Bless his applachain trail climbing hiking self - I don't do that. Camping yes but not when the red roof inn awaits you across the street. Lord bless my heart I need a drink.

And We are Back!

Hello Friends ... if there are any out there still reading ....

I know it has been months since my last post but seriously life was not that interesting and then it got interesting and then I forgot to write about it. BUT IM BACK! And this next segment of blogging is going to be about the travels west. Yes that is right - Pav takes on America Part 2. I will be taking a week to travel out west and plan on doing some mountain climbing, camping, people meeting, food eating, and fun time wedding celebrating.

So hopefully if there is anyone out there reading still - please join me on my most excellent adventure. However as a side note - the Goose will not be joining me on my most excellent adventure. Not cool - I know but Aunt Jenn is taking care of her and since I will be gone for 2 weeks and not 2 months it made more sense to leave her be.
