California, USA
dream destination
Looking for possible travel bud for a very random trip to California from Texas this Summer 2008. I love driving, and haven't really had the opportunity to check out the West Coast; but don't know where to go yet. Any ideas? Anyone up for a drive? 2,511 others want to go here

Most Memorable Travel Experience
*Washington - Was one of the first trips to the west coast for me was to Washington state. I was a little young to get the opportunity to check out the sites and enjoy the scene, but never the less it was awesome.

*D.C. in 2002. I fell in love with the whole metropolitan feeling! Georgetown, the history, LoC, Chinatown, the subway...

Profile
HOWDY!

I'm a central Florida born South Texas guy, who looks for any reason to drive out of town or out of state! As true to the deep south, as I am a true gentlemen. I've lived in south Texas for over 20 years now. The culture is unique and like no other.

I'm also a music performance major at Texas A&M International University in Laredo, Texas in Voice Performance.

By professional I work in retail merchandising for various companies, products, and brands. I decided that retail sales in a single major department store wasn't my favorite job over the last 2 years.

This site is incredibly addictive for those of us who go out of town every chance we can get! I've hope to complete the 50 United States over the next couple of years, through work and casual trips. So far I have been to the following states:

Alabama
Arkansas - highways are awful and the cust. service stunk!
Florida - born in Gainesville, lived in Tampa
Georgia - a dozen airport lay-overs
Louisiana - Baton Rouge is my area code!
Maryland - Univ. of Maryland for conference
Missouri - from the Ozarks to St. Louis for family reunions
Mississippi - camping on way to Missouri
Tennessee - Memphis was a trip! Another conference
Texas - Lives for 20+ years
Washington - week long trip to meet extended family
Washington, DC - I feel in love with D.C., another conf.

I'm a brother and alumni of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity Colony 284 #05 here in Laredo, TX, so brothers on the road, hit me back if you all are doing any traveling! ZAX

Feel free to add me on here or even better; to the MySpace link I have at the top of the page (www.myspace.com). I'm always online, so drop me a message as well and I'll do my best to respond back! Later

This has been the longest "trip" I've taken!! HA, I originally moved to Laredo, Texas in June of 2000 to attend school for a couple of years and transfer out... 8 years later, I'm still here and enjoying the culture more and more every year! Just some blogs and posts about my new home!
