Captain's Log: T-Minus 4 days

Many people ask me "why in tarnation are you going to New Mexico?" "Actually that would be Old Mexico" I sometimes correct . . . still, most don't get it. Folks, it's official, Saturday December 6th, 2008. I, Tucker Myers will be embarking on a most epic journey to the near-geographical center of Mexico (yes the country, and yes that would be Old Mexico) For those of you not fortunate enough (or too fortunate [we shall see]) to accompany me, DO NOT FRET! Armed with two suitcases, my camera, my undying photographic prowess and a case of Pepto-Dismal I have agreed to a travel blog based on my travels. "But I don't really care about your travels Tucker." is usually what I hear about this point and reply "Then stop reading!" just hear me out! I'm in no way trying to force religion on you or even trying to sell you a burro; I am no missionary and have no burro . . . yet. It's simple, I go to Mexico (Old Mexico, now you're getting it) and write about it, you have the option to read about my exploits in my 'Captain's Log'. You may be asking if a Captain's Log is really necessary since I am neither a captain nor going on a voyage. Quite frankly I am going on a voyage, a land voyage, but a voyage nonetheless, a 45+ hour odyssey spanning six American and seven Mexican states. Call it what you like, de todos modos it's a really long truck ride that doesn't stop at the border. As for the Captain thing, it's really a personal decision, I just didn't like the sound of Community College Graduated Driver's Log (which I think is my title,) so I took the liberty of making myself a Captain and with a few minor adjustments and an oil change we'll be on the way Saturday. Stay tuned!
