ZJGent:
Hello forumites.

I am giving very serious thought to an idea that I have been having for about four years now: to travel across the breadth of the North American continent. The catch is pretty magnificent: I have enough money only to pay for my passport's renewal, and a flight to New York, with a bare modicum of disposable income to spare. A thought that has crossed my mind with equal repetition is that it might actually be possible, given the charity of amenable, affable strangers, to dot-to-dot across the USA's brobdingnagian landscape via the hospitality of this forum's American populace. Equally frequently over the past four years, I have considered the idea that I'd perhaps like to write a proper story, a sort of series of picture postcards constructed from written portraits of every type of person willing to put up with a clean, tidy, friendly Brit for two days at the most at a time. I realise entirely how much I am asking from people whose lives have their own gravity, weight and circumference. I do! I really, very much do. If you think my ambition wild and uncouth, tell me, and it will remain exactly that - an unformed ambition only.
If, though, you think that putting up a chatty little limey for a couple of nights is something entirely achievable (and more - something that you'd actually enjoy!) then please, please give me an indication. I await your response excitedly, and fully prepared for any eventuality! Thank you for your various opinions and patiences.

If you want to go to Ann Arbor, Michigan we can hole you up for a few days no problem. We can also go to Detroit and see the fucking Robocop statue.

Liz:
I'm in Fargo right now but I'm hoping to move to Minneapolis/St. Paul soon, definitely a much better place to visit.

Either way I'm in! Come sleep on my couch!

If you end up in Boston, we can spare our couch for a few nights.

Have they started construction on that yet? I only heard that that they had enough money for it. It would be cool if it was finished by the time Detroit Fanfare starts, what with Robocop being there
