My USA Vacation Checklist

[Travel memoir21]

Okay guys I'm going back to America on October 14th to January 5th. Do you guys have any recommendations to how I should spend my time over there? Should I volunteer? should I work part time? Should I hit the bars and cold approach a bunch of latinas there in South Texas? lol. It's been three years since I've driven a car in US Soil so that's definitely something I should do when I get back to South Texas. I want to do a lot of cruising and driving especially on the highways and expressways. I also want to visit that senior Master sergeant I was talking about in San Antonio and catch up with him. My life right now always feels like it's on vacation mode to be honest since I'm an unemployed writer just relying on his military pension, social security and revenue from my parent's hotel to get by. I've acquired a taste for The Tropical stuff lol....that reminds me, I need to visit South Padre Island as well. Yes, here's to a nice visit to Uncle Sam once more.

Are you planning to stay in the Southern parts of the US to avoid the snow & cold?

Yes we live in the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas. Probably make a road trip in the upper parts of Texas like San Antonio, Houston or Austin later just to tour.

That's more like a Texas checklist. The US is a lot bigger than Texas if you haven't gone other places you might want to check some out.

If it were me, I'd rent a motorcycle for those road trips. The weather should be great, not so hot that it makes the helmet and gear uncomfortable.

Seconded on the motorcycle. Based off of my recollection, I hope the visit with your buddy is a positive one. You COULD hit coastal highway 1, Beartooth pass....

Never...unless you want to end up as a statistic. Motorists pay no attention to motorcycles and them versus a car is an automatic L for them.

Speaking of statistics, there are four factors that make up about 90% of fatal motorcycle accidents: excessive speed, alcohol, lack of a helmet, and lack of a valid motorcycle license. So avoiding those circumstances goes a long way toward not dying.

That, and since when does statistics determine one's inact- I mean ACTIONS?

*EDIT* I'm also a statistics nerd of sorts despite the candor of what I wrote.
