看看地圖, 我自己都不敢相信我和Scott可以開車從New Jersey到New Orleans. (one way 是2010公里, 而臺灣南北也才300多公里. 我常常在路上跟Scott說如果從台北往南開, 我們應該早經過馬尼拉....)
六月三日星期一, 我和Scott 開始我們籌劃數個月的road trip. 目地是我們都很嚮往的紐奧良-- 爵士樂的發源地, 美國南方美食之都, Tom Cruise夜訪Ann Rice的吸血鬼之地, Tennessee Williams的慾望街車, party animals買醉的墮落區, 馬克吐溫的湯姆歷險記......you name it, New Orleans is the answer to everything you want!
買了一本地圖, 換了機油, 一箱礦泉水, 帶了30多片事先在台灣燒錄的CD, 加滿油, 我們就上I-78W, 往Pennsylvania出發.

註﹕
其實美國公路真的很好開, 尤其是像南方這種鄉下地方.有了上次的環密西根湖之旅, 我變得更會看地圖.
偶數(像I-40)公路表示東西向 (I for interstate, 跨州公路)
奇數(像I-59)公路則表示南北向
