Post Lay-Off - My roadtrip across the USA in a 1994 Chevy Express 1500

After being laid off in Silicon Valley in January 2009, I decided to go on a roadtrip across America. I bought a one-way ticket with airlines miles to Fort Myers, FL. I winded up finding this van in 3 days and started making my way up north all the way to Niagara Falls, NY through the center of America via Cleveland. I traveled leisurely and stopped in many different cities and towns. I went through hard rain, snow and sunshine and slept at rest stops, campgrounds, motels and at friends' places. The amazing journey lasted for 6 weeks! It was the BEST THING I've ever done!
