Maybe there was a dedicated thread for this already, but fuck it.
Since it must be drawing really close by now, any updates on the route? Don't have to be in massive detail, just interested how and what and in what order. 
Also:
- do you guys even own sweaters for cold(ish) weather? March is typically a bizarro month in Western Europe...can be 20 degrees, but just as well can be 5. Hard to pack for that I can imagine.
Things I think (never having actually BEEN in the states) will semi-freak you (perhaps mostly Shiny) out:
- lack of SUV's...haha kidding. But I do like to think that every American drives an SUV
- historical city centres. Probably don't look anything like US city centres.
- smoking is for now still allowed in bars that don't serve food in Belgium. Not sure about Holland tho - Arathorn?
- red light districts
- no one carrying guns in the streets (kidding again...KINDA)
- no Mexicans. Lots of Morrocons and Turkish peeps tho!
- drinking from 16 on
- shitty small roads
- local sense of distance
- I'm assuming general level of food quality? But I'm sure there are great restaurants in the US too
So I'm expecting cowboy boots, shirt, hat and 'howdy partners' all around.
Yeah...please don't do that.
I have no problem with smoke, even if it's dense, but Shiny's lungs are less forgiving, unfortunately.
I want some good food, good beer, I want to hear people speak in foreign languages other than Spanish, I want to experience cities that are thousands of years old... oh yea, it'll be awesome. I'm also interested in seeing Shiny's reactions to these things.
