Another Brick in the Wall...

There was a sudden rush of questions about where Hannah was going to register.  As we have lived together for the better part of six years; we have our own stuff and we have always tried to buy quality when we bought things.  Honestly at this point there isn't a whole lot that we really need. Of course there are things that Hannah wants, but all of the places that sell those things do not have registries.  We discussed the idea of doing Wal-mart or Target, but there aren't a lot of things outside of motor oil or toilet paper that we buy at those establishments anyway.  Hannah wanted to register at IKEA; IKEA doesn't have a registry and won't be built until several months AFTER we get back anyhow.  So it was brought up that the real goal of our wedding and starting our life together is to begin our lives, as Mr. and Mrs. Turley, with an epic adventure.  I always thought that I wanted to go out in a blaze of glory, and since the ending is always in the beginning, I want this new life to start out with a lot of momentum.



So it is that after weighing out our options, and trying to make life easier for everyone else; I introduce the PayPal button.  Yes, we are registered at PayPal... sort of.

The way that the budget works out is about a dollar a mile.  So every dollar that is donated is another mile that we roll down the road and another adventure.

We get to see another ghost town (which are really cheap to see it turns out).

Elvis can be even cooler with upgrades! (This will be webcast and you get to decide how cool the show is)

Another filming location becomes another check mark on the list of things we saw (also really cheap)

Gas station from "Easy Rider"

Various locales from "Breaking Bad"

We want to see a lot of museums (These can cost more than I would like at times, but not always)

Hannah also loves mushroom clouds... I know, don't ask.

So, as you can see, we are not looking to party hard the entire time; we are not that kind of couple.  We are the kind of couple that loves to experience new things and this entire trip will be new things for Hannah.  We are not asking the world to pay for everything we are doing on our trip; we are working people after all.  Instead we are just pointing out that you can help this trip be every bit as epic as it should and could be.  So over the next few months we will be describing another locale we hope to visit and let you all know how our plans are going.  Thank you again for all of your kind words and encouragement.
