Week 1 Tallys and Updates!!

As of about 11:30 this morning, I have officially been road tripping for one week!! That means I'm also officially 1/4 of the way through this wonderful, crazy, beautiful, fun, once in a lifetime adventure and learning experience! 7 days down... That's crazy... Because in some ways I feel like I started yesterday and in other ways I feel like it's been way too long...

In one week I have driven approximately 945 miles in approximately 28.5 hours!! For a girl who HATES driving and used to be terrified to drive from her college campus to her church 8 miles down the road... this is QUITE the feat!! That being said, I did drive on the other side of the car on the other side of the road in Australia, but I've never driven this far by myself before!! 

I have slept in 7 hotel parking lots, been to 7 planet fitness locations, been in the ocean 4 times, eaten 2 free breakfasts, been in 2 springs, saw 2 stingrays, collected 2 complete (non inhabited) shells, and rode on 1 ferry. I have met countless friendly locals and travelers.

One thing I won't tally up is how much money I've spent... I've been keeping track on a log, but I won't calculate the total, because while I don't want to run out or put myself in a bind... I also want to be able to enjoy my time and experiences.
