Ben:

That sounds like a great trip.

I think the American writer Walt Whitman would have approved of your
thoughts.

Check this out:

*AFOOT and light-hearted, I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world
before me, The long brown path before me, leading wherever I
choose.   Henceforth I ask not good-fortune**�**I myself am good
fortune; Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need
nothing,   Strong and content, I travel the open road.*

"Song of the Open Road"

-- Walt Whitman
