Planning

Days down- 0

My parents have been deciding major details on this trip whenever possible.  (Including in between confrence calls for work, all of which are held on the boat).

They already have decided everywhere we are going, how long we are staying there, how much gas we will need, and how much it will all cost.  But, if you ask them what you're having for dinner that night you're acting ridiculous.  It's only 3:00, they don't plan that far in advance!  Whatever.

Their planning does help me in way, however.  I can find where there are stores and things to do in each area.  Not that there is much.  The first place to a have a decent drugstore is Rogers City and that is 2 months into the trip. Even at that, there is 1 CVS.  That's it.  No Walgreens, no Rite Aid, no Target, not even a single Walmart!  Plus, why does the name of a city have the word city in it?

But obviously I should be optimistic because by September 18th, 2013 (1460 miles, $17520 later) we will be in the Atlantic Ocean.  Which is exciting because it is somewhere that is away from our house, friends, and everything we grew up with?  Also, traveling across the country will look great on a resume!  It means we have some life experience.  Obviously being stuck on a boat for 3 years with my parents is life experience, NOT! 
This is all assuming that we make it to where ever the heck we are going alive, and the boat doesnt wind up at the bottom of some body of water.

We'll see.  Maybe someone will randomly decide Washington Island needs a Target.
