Well..... I am now the proud owner of a road map of the USA and Canada, and I'm reeling at the size of the place!!
Originally I considered flying to Chicago, and getting a train to New york, stopping on the way. 1200 miles!!!, and, judging by the map, that takes me through Detroit and other industrial cities.....is there country as well? There has to be!!!
My eldest son, (I'm his mother, if there are any doubts about my gender!!)is tentatively planning to come with me, and he wants to see Yellowstone Park.

So I'm formulating plan B, which involves the mid-west!

But I wanted to go to Maine!!!

Cheers, Bron.
