Documenting the Summer

So, while I was planning this major escapade last summer, I found very few references that incorporated a large-scale roadtrip like I was planning on taking. So, since I did not have the luxury of keeping a blog while travelling, I thought I would post a brief summary of me and Jay's travels here, for whoever would need it, and for myself when I start forgetting its splendor. I'll start with an itinerary of the whole trip:
