I shall leave Ithaca with Krishna on Swati (the Mazda Protege) on the 8th of June. We shall drive over to Cincinnati on day 1, stopping by at Erie, Cleaveland, Columbus on the way. Cincinnati is where we shall stay for day 1 (night 1 actually). Here's our roadmap for day 1:
Cities en route (except some spots that we don't know now, but shall stop by in case we feel like :P - that's the charm of a roadtrip anyways) - Erie, Cleveland and Columbus. Total expected drive time for day 1 - 9 hours.
Day 2 starts at Cincinnati and ends at Memphis. Places en route - Louisville and Nashville. Total expected drive time for day 2 - 7.3 hours.
Day 3 - Memphis to Dallas. Total drive time - again 7.3 hours. No major cities en route, but a great ride through the Texas countryside on offer :P
3 days - States that we pass through: New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas. All this followed by a 4 day stay at Arvind Bhaiya and Sheetal Tai's place in Dallas with my cute little nephew Nilesh and my dear niece Neha. Then I go to Washington DC to meet Krishnanand Dada, where my dearest cousin sis Gayatri and Mhavu would have come over too. A good weekend to spend with them all and Viju Vahini and another of my sweet little nephews, Ronak. Then another cross country trip from Washington DC to Ithaca (albeit via bus :P ) en route New York city.
This is how a trip to the USA should be - not visiting big cities and clicking photos of majestic buildings and hot chicks, but carrying out a cross country trip and absorbing the true spirit of American life and getting to learn and experience their culture. Sad that some people do not see this.
