Amit and I have dreamed about setting off on a big adventure for a few years, and now it is finally happening. We hope that you will follow our travels around the country... and around the world... via this site and that you will leave us notes to tell us how you are doing as well. We will try to provide you with updates once a week or so, depending on where we are and if internet is readily accessible. We also hope to post tons of pictures (one of the best parts of traveling is the great chronicle of pictures you create!), so assuming that I can figure out how to add them into a blog post, you will actually SEE where we are too!
To begin: we take off this week for a five-week, cross-country road trip! We are leaving on Tuesday night from Boston and by Wednesday night we hope to make it to Chicago, our first stop. From Chicago, we head across to Denver (to visit my good friends Valerie and Talia!), Salt Lake City (for a short overnight), and then we land in Napa to celebrate my grandmother's 80th birthday on December 7th. We'll spend a few days in Napa, and then we make our way south to Palo Alto to see Amit's cousins. From Palo Alto, we'll head down to Los Angeles (to visit Amit's best friend Jeff), over to Bryce and Zion National Parks, and then to the Grand Canyon. By mid-December, we'll have made it to southern Arizona to see my aunt, uncle, and cousin. From Arizona, we'll drive to Houston (via Carlsbad Caverns) to see my great Uncle Max and cousin Linda, and then to New Orleans for a few days before beginning our trek back to Boston. We'll stop in Nashville, Philly, and DC on our way north, and end this amazing (or amazingly long!) tour of the country in early January.
So, if all goes well, expect to hear some good stories and see some great pictures over the next few weeks, and we'll keep you updated as our adventure continues!
Love,
Dena & Amit

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, DENA AND AMIT!!
Dena, Amit,
It looks like you have had a great trip so far. Your stats and record-keeping are impressive. I am not surprised you are bound for business school with your passion for avg. gas price, % driving stats, miles driven etc.
My vote for the car name is Clayton - a little throwback to your days on Clayton St at BELL.
Happy Trails!
Andrew
Wow! This is amazing! Hope the trip is off to a great start! I can't wait to read all your posts and catch up on the past couple weeks! Happy travels!
xx,
Aimee
