A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu
Here is a little info on everyone going on the trip:
Kate

Beets
Countries Traveled: US, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica
Longest Road Trip:
WI to Delaware - 2,000 miles in 72 hours
Western USA - 11,500 miles in 7 weeks
The only thing you can count on when you are with Beets is that something is going to happen and whatever that something is - it will be memorable. Beets is the rare breed who can simultaneously be jester and philosopher. Although only weeks out of surgery, expect Beets to make plenty of contributions throughout the weekend. For a peek into his more philosophical road trip side, read his recent article Around the Pond, in the inaugural issue of Mad Rook magazine.
Lish
Countries Traveled: US, Canada, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, British Territories, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, France, Spain, Ireland
Longest Road Trip: Michigan - Virginia - Maine - through Canada - Michigan (2,450 miles)
Lish wins - period. Whether it is a game of Settlers of Catan or beach volleyball, the smart money is on Lish. But even though her winning percentage rivals the Yankees, she is one of the most humble and helpful people you will ever meet. If any of the destinations involves any sort of competition, expect to see Lish's name on the top of the leader board - let's just hope she is schooling some local and not her fellow travelers.
Chris
Countries Traveled: US, Canada, Mexico, Burkina faso, Mali, Ghana, Benin, Ethiopia, Sudan, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Monaco
Longest Road Trip: Omaha to LA - 1,600 Miles
As a veteran of the Peace Corp in Africa, Chris is by-and-far the most seasoned traveler of the group. Whether you bribing your way across borders or trying to decipher the road signs in French, Chris is the guy you want next to you. Although the travelers hope not to get into any sticky situations - if they do - Chris will inevitably have the solution.
Ben
Countries Traveled: US, Canada, Spain
Longest Road Trip: MKE - SD 2,260 miles in 38 hours
Always lively and engaging, Ben will be the member of the group to ensure the hours on the road are both educational and entertaining. With a vast repository of random facts, the conversation will undoubtedly never cease to be enjoyably flowing. Although he once led a carpool astray, his affinity for camaraderie will ensure the group sticks as one throughout the entire trip.
