It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

I got notice last Wednesday. Due to budget cuts, the consultants were being let go. My last day would be July 1.

My road trip looks like it will begin July 2.

This time, instead of heading south to Key West, I'm going to take I-80 and head west to Chicago, Chi-town, the windy city. I've never been there before and I figure 'What the hell'.



Here is my proposed route, starting with Cleveland and a quick stop at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I was there a few years ago, but I loved it so much that I thought that it wouuld make a nice first stop. It's about 8 hours away from home and about all the driving that I should do in one day.
