Non-ending journey

It is quite a long time since the last update I published in here. And now, I am two weeks vacations (read: vacation), not a holiday, so I considered myself still busy enjoying it.

Now, I am attending Muktamar 2010, in St Louis, MO. It is one of several stops for this winter holiday roadtrip. Yes, 2 roadtrips in one month and now with more miles traveled. 

Camry yang berjasa...

Roadtrip was awesome! This might be the best way to spend holiday in US. At least for me. Maybe I should set a target to cover all the state in the US. 

I enjoyed roadtrip the most because when we traveled together, I got to know the ins and outs of my friends who traveled along. By the way, that's only works when there were lively conversation between those who were in the car. 

Little Rock Capitol, Arkansas. 

No offense, but for me, staying up during  a roadtrip was important. We hold the same responsibility for the safety of the journey. As said before, have a conversation and no one will sleep. Thinks again, when was the perfect times for you to tell your untold-childhood-story and high-school-drama except when to kill time in the car. 

Nashville, Tennesse

Oh, some might afraid of told those story, but we got a deal. 

What happened in the car, stays in the car.

Yeah, that's the deals. Those story that were told was just for sharing experience and fun. But, BEWARE your true colors might revealed! Haha.

Lastly, thanks for those in the trip. You guys had makes this trip one of unforgettable trip ever.

Peserta-pesertanya...

So, as said before, more update about the roadtrip will come. It actually was awesome although some people might says that we were quite rushing and we might miss some must-go place. Actually we did miss some places, but I thinks it's okay because we only got one week to go to Midwest area, the place that I preferably not went to during winter and spring break because of the snow.
