We departed Chicago at 11:30PM via the Megabus. I was very lubricated for the ride in order to sleep. Immediately upon getting there, i was out. When we arrived in Cleveland; our friend was of course a little late but nothing special. We walked around for a moment and looked at the holiday decorations. We looked at that old church in the town square and then walked over to a hotel to find a restroom. By the time, we got out of the hotel, our friend was there to pick us up. We headed down Broadway street in hopes of finding a restaurant. Soon, we stumbled upon the Broadway Diner which was this hole in the way place but with great food. Definitely great hangover food. From there, we headed to Mill Creek Falls. Mill Creek ... read more

Sunday, August 1, 2010 I was supposed to meet my friends with the RV in Wixom at 6AM but since I got shwasted the night before at a family reunion, I woke up at 6 and could not drive. Thank goodness my mother was able to come get me so that I could show up drunk and without any toiletries. It was an interesting couple of hours before we arrived in Chicago at 9:45AM to pick up out fourth travel mate. The drive to Sioux City, IA was rather boring but we did get to see the world's largest truck stop. When we got to Sioux City, our hotel was actually very nice. We were pretty hungry so after a quick walk through downtown Sioux City, we ended up eating/drinking at Sweet Fanny's. I got a ... read more

Well I was supposed to leave at like 7:30am or something and arrive in downtown Milwaukee at 10. That didn't happen. I went to International Mister Leather the night before and woke up at 9:30. Immediately after a new train ticket was booked and I would arrive in Milwaukee around noon. I took the Amtrak which ended up being completely reasonable to get there. However, there were a lot of people on the train. Like, a lot. Milwaukee The weather could not be nicer in Milwaukee. It is sunny an beautiful here. I am starving. I end up going to Capriotti's Sandwich Shop. It looks like a mom and pop kind of place but apparently it's a franchise. I ask whether I should get the veggie sub or the veggie cheeseburger. The owner says more people ... read more

Dogwood Canyon Nature Park We took the 2 hour tram ride all over the park. It was really neat although the tram was filled to capacity which made for a tight squeeze. For the first part of the tour, you drive along the canyon floor. There are waterfalls and even a chapel built from logs within the park by their maintenance staff. Apparently it is a big hit for weddings. The waterfalls were fairly neat. At the glory hole, you could see giant rainbow trout which was neat. Throughout the trip, we would constantly have to drive through the river making the ride even more interesting. My favorite part by far was seeing the animals. img=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3331/4639648062_93b48998... read more

Depart Chicago, IL 11:55PM on Tuesday, May 18th via Megabus Arrive in St. Louis, MO 6:25AM on Wednesday, May 19th Sit around in the Civic Center MetroLink Station with my computer. I am dehydrated so I get a soda. Depart St. Louis, MO 8:25AM on Wednesday, May 19th via Greyhound I have never taken a Greyhound bus before but it was quite the experience. I was clearly out of my element. For one, I was the only person that had purchased my ticket at home and printed it out. Is it cheaper to buy at the station? Maybe it was the area and/or my destination but I was the only person on the bus who had a full set of teeth. Not to say that people missing teeth are in any way less than but, for ... read more
