Boston to Chicago-Phase 1
After driving the Mustang 1,100 miles across six states in just four days and staying in: Boston, Cape Cod, Buffalo and Toledo en route, I finally arrive in the windy city that is Chicago for my first two night stay.
With over 22 hours driving (with the roof down obviously) the iPod has been a god-send and this weeks Top Ten road trip classics are as follows:
1. Have a Nice Day-Stereophonics
2. London Calling-The Clash
3. America-Razorlight
4. One-Johnny Cash
5. Sweet Home Alabama-Lynyrd Skynyrd
6. Hotel California-The Eagles
7. I’m Shipping Up To Boston-Dropkick Murphys
8. When The Music Stops-Eminem
9. Baby Please Don’t Go-Van Morrison
10. Whatever-Oasis
With internet access not readily available and so many hours driving I will update my daily musings when I have some more time but for now just a few snaps and captions.

Is this a solo trip? I can’t believe you watched a baseball game. It’s not even a sport (I’m prepared for the backlash if you have any American readers)
