Preparatory preparations

Slowly but surely our plans are falling into place. Benjamin and I have mapped out our excursion on the calendar, and so we are officially embarking on our journey on June 12. First stop will be Baltimore, my old stomping grounds, then North Carolina, New Orleans, Austin TX, White Sands NM, Santa Fe, then on to Flagstaff/Sedona AZ. We'll be then flitting to various places such as Las Vegas, Bryce Canyon, Los Angeles and San Francisco. We'll be leaving AZ around July 31 to head back to our home state of NY.

We'll mainly be camping and hostelling, but hope to sublet an apartment in Flagstaff for the month of July so as to have a solid home base to jump from.

Our first official hostel we booked with so far is the India House in New Orleans. We booked through hostelworld.com and it got really amazing reviews. We'll see how it goes! We really can't wait to do some of the haunted tours, woo!
