I want to travel, but don't want to fly. I want to see the great United States of America, but don't want to drive. I want to I want to travel, but don't want to fly. I want to see the great United States of America, but don't want to drive. I want to sit on the passenger side, passing chewing gum to the driver like my mom did for my dad while he told dirty jokes....
I have decided to travel by myself anyway. I want to go places that are not on the "beaten" path. I want to sight see the different smaller towns America has to offer. I know better that to wonder into a "behind the times" town where there is the "ole way" of doing things. People are uncomfortable with change. Change is good when it is for the good of society. Desegregation is good, women's rights are a few of the good changes. There a few places or a few people that refuse to change. I am concerned, I stay concerned.
I am a native New Yorker, We rarely met strangers. If we are in an elevator, we will join in a conversation. We are happy to give a hand, or drop everything and help someone in dire need. This is not welcomed across the country. Living in the south at times, this is apparent to me. The cold shoulder death stares are comical. This does not phase me, there is a Brooklyn saying [F-um!]...
How do I try to travel alone with this attitude? Very carefully, keeping my eyes open and practice safety as best as I can. Making moves in the daytime, and staying away from those dark alleys. Are there dark alleys still?
I think I will just stick to the tourist sections of the cities. I will let you know.
