Well, I've made my decision.
54 Days.
2 Coasts.
1 Vespa.
A very small bank account.
My route is still being worked out as we speak, as is all the crazy planning that I'll have to do to be ready by mid-July to leave Santa Cruz on my Vespa. I'll keep you updated on the interesting parts as I go (although there's a solid chance I'm the only one who will find them interesting).
I have lots of help in planning this - turns out, there are all kinds of people who have done crazy Vespa trips like this one (though my parents don't buy this in the least). So I'm not a pioneer by any means, which is a very comforting thought.
My favorite site, for your viewing pleasure, is www.vespa-vagabond.blogspot.com. Shreve did this same type of trip, from San Francisco to NYC, and she's been great answering my questions and assuring me that this isn't the worst idea ever.
And, I'm going to need lots of help as I figure out where to sleep each night, so stay tuned because I'm going to start asking you who you know who will let me sleep on their couch in Idaho!
