Wow! I just read that and it just made me smile. Mainly because I was thinking about my ride this past summer. My son "13" and I set out from Canada riding towards Mexico. When we left I told my wife we didn't know how far we were going or how long we would be gone. And no we didn't know how we were getting back. (We knew we had to be back in time for school to start).

We had the summer of our lives and made it to Mexico and arrived back home 45 days from the start date. My wife never said anything........ummmm I thought I pulled that one off. Well she's in South America right now with our daughter having her own adventure....... and I don't think they are staying at hiker/biker site. **** I am going to pay for this
