Welcome to the Hickman's Trailer Trash American Tour 2009!
We are so excited about our upcoming road trip and wanted to start a travel blog for friends and family to keep up with our whereabouts, adventures, conundrums, needs for food and money and so much more. Thanks to an amazing friend, we have a laptop to bring for daily blog posts when we start the trip.
We are deep in preparations for our trip and have been extremely busy. We are currently in the process of moving our belongings into storage. We had a very successful garage sale and managed to get rid of the junk that other people would call treasures (who would want a used crossword puzzle book?) We have recently purchased our new home for the next few months and are so excited about it. We found a Coleman Fleetwood Popup camper on Craigslist in excellent condition. It's light enough for our SUV to pull and has a stove, fridge, sink, 3 beds and everything we will need to survive. Pictures will be up soon.
As of today we are planning on leaving August 14 and will begin up the east coast. Who knows where we will end up or how long we will be gone for. We are very open to travel tips, including places to see, so please let us know if you have any suggestions.
Life is a Highway!
About Us
- Matt and Meg
- Married June 13, 2009, we are ready to start our lives together. Instead of "settling down" we have decided to travel the country while we can. Megan resigned from her position as a social worker at a local homeless shelter and Matt has stepped down from managing a bar. We have sold most of our belongings and are ready to take off. Some say we are crazy...but we just respond that tomorrow is never guaranteed so live everyday like it's your last. See ya when we get there!
