I have done some impulsive things in my
time…adopted some projects, some which I have seen to completion, some which I
haven’t. But I have never contemplated
something of this magnitude. Starting
October 2014 I am planning to visit all 50 States and Washington DC in 51 months. As
with any quest, there are rules…well a rule really. I have to spend at least a night for it to count. So it cannot be a “drive through” or a one day visit.
Plus, since my home base in Chicago, that doesn't count for Illinois
either. Through my travels I will seek
out local customs, eat local food, visit places of interest and collect a few
souvenirs on the way, like a state fridge magnet, a state shot glass, a state
postcard and a local chocolate or a treat.
Other than that I must truly try and enjoy my time exploring our country
one state at a time. So come December
2018, I would have done something very few have had an opportunity to do….go 51
in 51.
