I have come literally within inches of sealing my fate already a few times in my life. So I can certainly relate to 'do it now while you still can' ... Those experiences have made me realize that there is so much out there that I want/need to experience. And I have taken that approach to life ever since.

However, there is a small problem on taking a driving trip to LA.
- Lack of available vacation time... I definitely want to take my time driving Route 66. I've been to several stops along the way already. But that doesn't mean I won't want to spend time at those places again as well.
I would be talking about 2 weeks to be able to encompass my whole trip (with side stops).
