May 10, 2008 
We have been talking about this trip for what seems like forever amongst my friends, and while we are still 2 men down, I am sure it will be a fantastic trip all the same. While I fully anticipate this to be a very fun trip, I am also taking this road trip as an opportunity to do my senior thesis which I have entitled: “The Rediscovery of America in 2008″. I will be documenting every step of this trip and then present my findings in an illustrated journal for those who wish to see my senior thesis.
The planning of this trip included some trickier aspects, like finding places to stay. In an effort to solve this problem, I created a facebook event and invited every single person I know on facebook.com to attend. Through this event, I have found places to stay in New Mexico, Oregon, Seattle, New York City and Washington DC. We have also been given many a traveling tip about several of the cities we plan on visiting.
We have a couple journals, a few cameras and a camcorder with about 2 hours battery life and plenty of memory to capture this trip, and we will not let this be the one that gets away.
Tomorrow we wake up in Columbia, SC for the last time this month.
