The Trip

In case you're wondering, here is a rough itinerary of my trip. I say rough because I fully intend to discover small towns, stay longer if I love somewhere and cut other places on a whim. And yes, I realize some of the math might fully add up. I've tried to leave extra days for rest, travel, staying later, but I've also got places where I know I'll have to cut some time from certain cities, and I won't know which until I'm there.

The approximate number of days are in brackets
