Summary of trip to the United States 2008-08-26 - 2008-09-09.
| Best Travel Tip | Renting Hertz cars in Sweden via hertz.se. Much, much cheaper than going via hertz.com. | | Distance Driven | | | Texas | 1230 mi | | California | 2298 mi | | Total | 3528 mi (5677 km) | | Average Fuel Economy | 34 mpg | | Radio Stations | | | Most Listened | "The Boombox", Sirius Radio, channel 34 | | Most Disturbing (1) | Family Radio, for stressing a sectlike exact adherence to... what? Like the Bible didn't need interpretation. | | Most Disturbing (2) | KEGL The Eagle (Dallas) for having commercials for: Debt relief, auto repair, beer, herbal aphrodisiacs and strip clubs and not much else. I don't know what it means when you listen to a station where such ads apparently work on the listeners - and like it. | | Photos | | | Shot | 3020 | | Saved | 1926 (4.15 GB) | | Worst Hotel | Motel 6, Stockton I-5 exit Benjamin Holt Dr. Any hotel with young latinos in matching clothes sitting on the stairs waiting for... something... is a hotel I don't recommend. | | Best Pizza | Pizza Guys, Stockton I-5 exit Benjamin Holt Dr right opposite Motel 6. Maybe the latinos above were waiting for pizza? It sure was worth waiting for. | | Best Hotel | The Tides Inn, Laguna Beach | | Best Cheap-Ass Hotel | Dana Point Harbor Inn. (The only place with WiFi that actually works.) | | Best Winery | Wilson Creek | | Prettiest Stretch of Road | Highway 299 | | Most Boring Drive | Interstate 5 north | | Longest Stretch Without Food Because I Just Can't Be Bothered With Eating When I'm In Yosemite And Have Photos To Take | 44 hours | | Best Restaurant | | | After 44 Hours Without Food | Souplantation / Sweet Tomatoes (easy win due to all-you-can-eat buffet and unlimited refills) | | For Brunch | Ramos House Cafe | | For a Night Out | The Melting Pot, Irvine | |
