A-Viking I will go

Okay, kids, this is my last blog entry to be typed in Florida. If all goes well I’ll be on the road within an hour or two. I don’t know when I’ll have internet access again — I’m in Denny’s (another Denny’s, one with a more-or-less working internet) getting some breakfast — until I get to my destination. I may update my Twitter page (link “my Twitter page” in the sidebar menu) since I can do that by phone but as it’s a pain in the butt with my simple cheap phone (no fancy QWERTY keypad) and I doubt I’ll have anything that important to say I may not do that very often. To tell you the truth, I still don’t get Twitter…

You should see my car. I got rid of 90% of my belongings (including the tv — I just couldn’t make it fit) and it’s still full practically to the brim. I’ve left space for the cat, that’s it. All that is missing is the comical pile of luggage tied on the car’s roof, but that’s because I only own one piece of luggage, a battered cheap suitcase I bought at a Woolworth’s in London in 1981 and I’ve held onto even though it’s getting to the duct-tape stage.

Anyway, wish me luck on the roads of America!
