I’m thinking about taking 2 weeks off of work next year, right around July 4th so I don’t have to worry about school, and drive cross-country on Route 66 once I get to Chicago. I’m still in the planning stages, like where I’m going to visit, where I’m going to stay, and how I’m getting back to Jersey.
