Congrats on making it all the way. Me and the guys at work really enjoyed following your journey. Im a little dissapointed with the last post. I hope you put up a nice long story to cover Memphis to New Orleans and home.
Good job, young men! Everyone is proud of you - especially your parents. You did what you said you'd do, and you showed commitment and that you could handle adversity. See you in a couple days - drive safe.
Wow!!! What an accomplishment! Hope you'll be sharing more of your experiences now that wi-fi spots won't be so few and far between. It's been a fun ride keeping up with your travels and adventures. Just an awesome trip! Safe travels on your way home! Can't wait to hear ALL about it soon!
