This is a pretty amazing post. I am seriously considering doing the exact thing this spring in March/April. I'm throwing caution to the wind and getting there however I can. I was originally planning to drive cross-country with my own car, but I think it would be very cool to get wherever I am going via bus, train, boat, whatever . . .

It just seems like the type of thing that ought to be done once per lifetime . . .

I'm definitely interested in hearing from anyone else who has done this / planning to do it.
