Our itinerary

Here is our itinerary.

And here is a map of our route.

This is just the basic plan and we may stray from the path if we can find better things to do with our time - like just spending three weeks in Dallas drinking Lone Star beer and winning the national rodeo championships.

As you can see we have booked the Truck of Justice (tm) otherwise known as a Dodge Grand Caravan, and are set to head north and perform a long hook turn across the country as we head towards Washington and up to Boston - and in a remarkable piece of planning - backtrack to New York City by train.

We leave on the 18th of October meaning that we leave this month, which is almost as exciting as the prospect of dacking the naked cowboy.

Why

Welcome to the start of one of the world's great journeys.

This is the blog site of five young top Aussie blokes who from 19 October will cross 1300 miles of the US of A to leave our indelible mark on the most powerful nation on earth, make the Whitehouse Republican-free for four years and hopefully find full strength American beer.

Keep visiting this site for regular updates of our madcap adventures as we confront our enemy in Dallas in the very Republican deep south and embark on an epic road trip to Boston - the spiritual home of America's Democrats who are now campaigning to have the bloke pictured above assume control of a rather large stockpile of nuclear weapons - among other less meaningful things.

In between we have set up meetings with some of the insiders behind this election to find out more about how politics works on the other side of the globe.

But we will also give the Yanks a taste of Australian humour along the way showing a stunning display of sarcasm and irony they haven't seen since we won the America's cup.
