Welcome!

Welcome everyone to "I'm with Ryan," the blog of my post-retirement journey back to the promised land out west. Right now I'm in the midst of finishing up work here in Boston, planning my route home, and learning how to blog. I'm accepting recommendations on all of those things. Everything here is a work in progress, so if you have ideas on how to fix or improve things, please let me know!

The map below is interactive and routes, pictures, destinations are all clickable for more information. The blue line is my probable route (subject to change), the redline is the trip so far. The Donkey is my current location.

Follow along by map!

Shakedown

For any of those following along, I'm getting close to departure.  This weekend I'm in Albany to visit my friend Sally and for a short shakedown road trip prior to leaving Boston for real next week.  Despite being a somewhat real city, Albany has a very small town feel and Empire State Plaza downtown is reminiscent of Brasilia.

Lesson learned on Saturday:  Driving alone through somewhat boring landscape provides way too much time to think.  I'll have to think of something to do about that.  Anyone have thoughts on books on tape?

    Assasination vacation by Sarah Vowell, it is a roadtrip book about visiting sights associated with Presidential assasinations, great for riding through VA!
