I got the us political map laminated so I can use dry erase markers on it.

I meant I would love the map. But the trip idea sounds good too.

17 days... WOW. I would have to burn allot of vacay... remember I work 7 days straight each shift. But I burn 7 days and get 14 off. That means that i would have to burn the next shift (nites) which requires 8 days of vacay. That's 15 days (3 weeks of my 4) of vacay time. No way I'll be willing to go back to work after doing such a trip....

So 17 days...

Budget?

What kind of miles you looking at? Fig that and divide by bike's mpg times $3.25 (min) per gal of gas.

Even cheap lodging... fig $100 a night divided by 2 if you room up.

Food is $75 a day = $1275
