On The Road 2011 USA West Coast 2 East Coast

Finally it's time to hit the big one ... on the road for real ...

5th may I will fly from paris to san fransisco where I will meet my parents who by that time, will have driven from argentina to san fransisco in 6 months time, now their road trip will finish and they will fly home, where I wil take their bus (a vw transporter) and drive it to it's final destination New York .. this is gonna take 88 days as I have planned to visit several national parks and ancient forests etc while on the way ... also I have the luck that the Irish Boy band U2 is gonna be playing the states this summer, so I am gonna cross their schedule a couple of times without having to do too many crazy detours ...

I will go and show my parents where I stayed in 91-92 as I attended a college for a year, played semi pro soccer and discovered my first raves ... so the college and the dormitory will be cool to rediscover ... also San Fransisco will be great to see again as it is truelly a friendly place .... after that we will go to Yosemite National Park for two days and then my parents will make their way back home on the 10th may.

Then I will start my long awaited road trip ... starting in SF going to Reno, then North end east again to end up at Yellowstone national park and Teton national park, Salt Lake City and back to oakland (u2) then it's time for another dream place to visit ... I hope to find the spot where the famous joshua tree is resting ... I got some coordinates, some foto's and the recordsleeve ... then it's time to go to anaheim for two u2 gigs, then up to Las Vegas and hit east on the famous Route 66 ...
I might head up towards Denver, or find another interesting road on my way to Memphis and Nashville (u2) in Tennessee, then northbound to Chicago (u2) - Detroit -- into Canada - Toronto - Montreal (u2 double) and back to the usa to hit the famous East Coast where I will see my final U2 360 gig in East Rutherford and then have one more week to see some real life jersey shore uhum ... then get the bus into a shipping container to get it back to holland, surely my parents can't wait to hit the road again ... me neither .. ciao4now
