Drivers Needed?

When we think of traveling, we think of Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, Australia.  Sadly, we rarely think of travel being something we can do in our own country.  I am 51 years old and I have seen New York City, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and Yellow Stone, the beaches of California and Hawaii.  As I type it out, it seems like I have visited a lot of our country, but in reality this is merely a fraction of what our own US of A has to offer.

It's cheaper to travel within the United States rather than purchase airline tickets to foreign lands.  It's certainly safer to travel here.  For some reason, people just don't see it as that exciting to stay within America.  I admit to these feelings, until one day, I saw a sign that read:  Drivers Needed.  I started to dream of what it would be like to be a long haul truck driver.  Talk about seeing the country!

I would stop at the Redwoods in California and then head up the coast to Alaska.  There would be driving through the south to see Mammoth Cave in Kentucky and the Everglades in Florida.  I would head across the northern states to see Mount Rushmore and then on to Niagara Falls.  No more sitting in an office with a window to the same scenery for the past 10 years.  The windows of my semi truck would have a different beautiful landscape each and every day.  Driver needed?  Maybe I need to be a driver!

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.
