Welcome to the road trip blogs! The blogs on this page are to document the road trip the Mr O and myself are taking across the country, accompanied by my dad and brother. This trip is due to take place between February 16th to February 27th and take us from Daytona Beach, Florida to Las Vegas, Nevada. The start is the Daytona 500 NASCAR race on February 15th and the end is the Shelby 427 NASCAR race on March 1st just in case you were wondering.

Now, first things first. If you're reading this by clicking on a link from the weekly email, you probably want to click this next link to take you to the Road Trip Blogs so you can now see what I'm going to talk about.

Now, second things second. If you clicked that link and read the stuff on the page on the way down to this article, then most of what comes next is pretty redundant - but I'm going to say it anyway. This page has three maps above. The first shows our planned route. The second map shows my current position. The third map shows our actual route along with some photos tagged to the route. Pretty cool eh?

Now for the smart ones amongst you ... I seem to be pausing as that probably doesn't account for many does it now? Anyway, the point I was going to make was that if you're looking at this before February 16th, the actual route map will be showing whatever map I've plugged in there and the current location will be showing the last location I've made public from my GPS recording. If you're looking after March 1st then the actual map should be good, but the current location will still keep updating for the last location I've made public.

OK - now that's that out of the way. In preparation for the trip I've also created a Road Trip America Photos Page that you may want to look at for more photos than are recorded on the map above.

That's about it for the boring stuff. Now to put a few blogs together for the trip planning and wait for the next two weeks to zip by.
