The Beginning of the End is Coming

Friday November 6, 2009 James and I will hopefully start on a Journey. We will be purchasing mostly random plane tickets to somewhere in America. We will venture there and complete 20 tasks (to be added later). Here are the starting rules we have created. Hopefully we can turn this into a bigger thing.

TRAVEL RULES

• There will be no checked luggage.
• Aside from socks and underwear, all packed clothing must be worn during travel.
