I'll be posting dispatches from each destination while I'm there. Again, if you've got a question, comment or plea regarding any part of this journey, send me an email (simply click the link below). Remember, I'm your scout on the road -- and I'm WIRED while I'm traveling. We can either chat while I'm on the road or you can read the stories (and view the pix!) as they go online.
