Update

Started to ride the recumbent stationary bike at the athletic club downtown, in anticipation of getting a recumbent for the cross country trip. Don't like it as well as the upright, but have to start somewhere. I put an ad in a web based shop about looking for a tandem recumbent, hopefully I'll get someone who wants to sell one, the new ones are mega expensive. Looks like we're going with the plan to start in Oregon and end up in Wash. DC. More later.

Found a laptop

Reading the paper the other day I found what may be the perfect laptop to take on the trip. Its called the Asus Eee PC, I googled some web sites to look at the revues and they look pretty good If anyone has heard of it let me know, and also if you could look at the revues let me know what you think. The price is decent for what we need. If there is any info on gps units I need that also. Also need a camera perhaps, along with something like an mp3 player.

Change of plans

After some looking and looking last night, Laura likes going from Oregon southeast to Denver better than going from San Diego. So looks like we'll start where Lewis and Clark ended and go through Yellowstone back down to Colorado. Then plan to go to Hawaii for the soccer tournament to see Kelci play on the way to the national championship. Then we will continue on to Iowa for the ragbrai ride, then on to Annapolis and the Atlantic ocean. Still six months to go before we start to ride, so things are still in initial planning stages, don't have a bike yet. Stay tuned.

Asking for posts.

Off to shop on day after Thanksgiving, what a crazy idea. Looked at maps this morning, trying to figure out the best way to cross the country on a bike. Need posts.

Thanksgiving Late Night

Mom and Tim awake--rest of family asleep. Dora since 9. We are all tired from a long night of looking up celebrity ages on wiki. Mr. T (55), Kirk Douglas (90!), Clapton (62)...etc. Also babes: Giada de Laurentis (matronly), Ali Landry (hot/Doritos).
