EAT PRAY LOVE

Hello loyal followers.

I have received a lot of feedback, most constructive and supportive.  One reaction caused me pause.  Someone actually asked, "What is this, your Eat, Pray, Love?"  Although I have not read the book, nor seen the movie I can glean their meaning.  This is my post divorce mid life crisis.  Well, I have a few things to say about that.
1) I wasn't SAD when my ex signed the papers.
2) I'm not LOST.  I have the unique ability as a teacher to have summers off.  I have always wanted to trek cross country, ideally with a beautiful, warm, respectful companion.  I DO have a warm, beautiful, respectful companion...who has to work!
3) People aren't pissed that I'm going.  They've offered to buy me tires and a fare gun.
4) I don't care about my house.  All my plants are plastic and the fish died!

So to my questioner, and secret worriers, I am fulfilling a dream of a lifetime that I couldn't years prior due to various circumstances, too numerous to list.

A friend told me about couchsurfing.org. I can literally stay at their place on the road. I'm thinking I should stock up on "host" gifts. Any ideas?
