Hoping for a Tail Wind 
Tony, I met you at the Gallo/Caferro reunion. Your grandpa was a brother to my grandma Jean Caciari. Anyway, it has been a lot of fun following your trek back to New York. I am so glad you got through Minnesota safely. I wish you a safe return home and can’t wait to read more. Have a blast. Marya Warren
Hey Marya, thanks. Everything is going great. Hope to see u again at the next reunion out there!
what does the guy giving you the tattoo have on his ear…..and dont get one…..!!
Get that shamrock on your forehead and maybe I won’t!
Hi Tony! We met in BFE Texas, I was the guy with the bike pump. Looks like you made it to Florida in (more or less) one piece. The blog looks great! I’ll scroll through some of your adventures when I get a little more time today. Safe travels!
Hey Reece! Yeah man finished up a week ago. Thanks again for the help. Great to meet!
