Ummm... You're probably right, Rog.
SLS, I am travelling at night most of the time, and if I can't find anywhere to stay in Tulsa and Kansas City, I might change my plans and just take a Greyhound bus and see where I wake up. And thanks for the suggestion, Bruce. I'm looking into volunteering there for the few days when I'll be in DC.
SLS, you also asked me to tell you a bit about myself. Very simply, I'm 19, I'm an actor/singer/morris dancer who also plays the oboe and guitar. I'm good at languages, and I'm in America for a few months visiting family during my year out.

Hope that helps a bit.

Thanks

Richard
