US Road Trips: 94% Done
12 November 2008 – 11:43 pmOver the years I’ve crisscrossed the country multiple time attempting to take a different route each time and until recently there was only one major area of the country that I hadn’t been in, the deep south.
So the day after I got back from working in Israel, I flew into Memphis, rented a car, and crossed Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana off my list.
North Dakota, Alaska, and Hawaii are the only states that I’ve haven’t driven in yet.
Alaska and Hawaii should be easy find a reason to visit… I just need to come up with a reason to visit North Dakota. 
It was a great experience and it’s not often a person can say they’ve been in a spice market in Jerusalem, a Sultan’s palace in Istanbul, a cotton field in Arkansas’s Mississippi delta, and the French Quarter in New Orleans within days of each other.
Stay tuned… I’ll post pictures shortly.
