For the second time this trip I've said goodbye to a friend and travel companion. Ju-Hui is back in Windsor, Ontario for the Fall semester. I'm really going to miss her.
I'm on the outskirts of Phoenix, heading South. I'll be going to Saguaro National Park before turning East towards home. Well, Raleigh. I'm not sure what home means to me at this point. I'm both tired and restless. Part of me wants to make it to the Mississippi River in a 24 hour binge of driving. But then what? An East Coast road trip? A Desperate Housewives marathon? All I know is I've had enough Phoenix traffic and stifling Southwest heat.
I'm thinking about checking out New Orleans and relaxing on the Gulf Coast. Other than that I'm not too inspired about places to visit in the southern, central part of the country. Please do send suggestions in the comments if you have any. And thanks to those of you who've added comments, in general.

Austin friends say you should go for a swim at Barton Springs.
Ed - while you're setting a world's record for driving, why not head North. Spend a week or so on an Indian reservation in Minnesota or South Dakota. That will give you even more to think about.

I suggest N.O., Pensacola and Seaside Fl, then down to the Keys. Fantasy Fest should be happening soon in Key West.

ed, if you are going south... Austin, Texas is really cool! They have an HI Hostel there, right on the river too :) that is close to the downtown area. I imagine it is a good time to visit too.. cause it's not too hot in austin right now!
Where are pictures of you gettin' crazy at burning man ? ;)

what happened to Ju Hui's head? Cut off driving under an overpass? I say hit austin, tx. Music/cultural/food scene is really good I hear.
