The begining
Many times I was dreaming about very long trip around U.S. So far I flew several times to this beautiful country, and most often I have visited New York City and nearby states because I was living in New Jersey which is very close to those places. Unfortunately, I never managed to realize my plan which I was thinking about for a long long time.
At the end of the 2010 I showed to my friends pictures from Washington D.C. and when I saw how they were excited about U.S. I realized that I have to experience this trip only with them by my side. So I started to search all information about how much everything costs and plan the route which I wanted to go through the states.
Having all these necessary infos I told about my idea to Michal, who as soon as he heard about possibility of travel to the USA he quickly decided to go with us. I have to mention here that we had only one year to the planned trip because I wanted to start our journey on the second half of August 2011. At this time we also started to collect money for this purpose.
In this period of time I also met Marzena – my present fiancee and the another person who wanted to participate in our journey. She also liked the idea of experience the uncommon and extreme adventure across the Ocean.
At the beginning of 2011 our group has increased to four people, who at a 100% were decided to participate in this trip and we had also two more people who didn’t know if they will be able to travel with us because their situation on that moment was quite complex but I won’t bother you with this. The fourth person who decided to visit the States with us was Magda, my sister, who as soon as she saw the planned route, said – I’M IN!!!
However, as life often shows, things unfortunately don’t always turn out as we wish and in this case this statement has been also proved. We had to cancel the trip due to a lack of funds. Just the three of us (me, Marzenka and Magda) flew to visit our grandma and as it was the last time we visited surroundings of the NYC. Although we didn’t saw the Grand Canyon or the Yellowstone Park, but we spent another memorable holidays.
Now it’s 2012 and I can say with a clear conviction that the expedition finally will take place. The half of a sufficient amount of money is already collected and the dead line is in about 10-12 months because we plan the date of our flight to the U.S. between months June and August 2013. For sure this date will be confirmed by the end of this year.
I also added new items to the Travels tab and I included there some pics and infos from each trip from the previous years.
Please visit this website often because for sure a lots of new informations will appear here in the next few months and we will inform you about the preparation and recent news.
Best regards
