On the road, at last
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
Speranza cleared customs today, as planned. Here she is just before being unloaded from the container in which she crossed the Atlantic.
I am sleeping tonight at my designated start point in New Jersey and will begin the great American road trip after breakfast tomorrow. I must first take Speranza in for a New York State-mandated inspection. That can be done at the local car wash (!), will take 15 minutes, cost precisely nothing and will bring my US motor insurance fully into force.
I have also acquired and successfully activated a US smartphone. You can now call or text me (for the duration of the tour only) on +1 (862) 485 7250 as well as tweeting me @tompaine or emailing me via the link in the side-bar.
I look forward to many interesting encounters along the way.
