I have been spending a lot of time on a road trip to celebrate and commemorate my retirement (from the office, not from writing). I’m more than halfway through and with 31 days of travel under our belts I have gathered a lot of new inspiration and stories.

The trip began as a Route 66 road trip, which I’ve wanted to do for a while. The Route 66 road trip link gathers all the blog posts for this trip in chronological order. But realistically, a 5000+ mile round trip by car takes longer than most people have available for vacations. I’ve been documenting the trip on my other personal blog site, so if you’re interested take a look!
