Well, while the Sams are scrambling (in Shanghai’s case, dilly-dallying) to get ready for their voyage, the Pit Crew of the SS Roadtrip is frantically trying to put the final touches on imwithsam.com. You’ll see new features as this site progresses but always look out for the POLLS because that’s where you’ll make a difference on this trip–besides your kind donations to help pay for fuel! Depending on how drunk they are, the Sams will try to get the winning poll item done. Suggestions are welcomed so just post a message and we’ll get the best ones listed before the Sams hit their next city. Their fate is in your hands!
And in case anybody is wondering, IMWITHSAM is the name of this website and the name of this hokey adventure. The SS Roadtrip is the journey and the name of the vessel (Sammy B’s beloved Subaru WRX) that will take our guys from zeroes to heroes.

Seems like the days are just flying by there’s so much to do… Thursday will be here too soon and at the same time, not soon enough. Today was a shopping day and I knocked out a few road supplies.

Sheepskin seat cover…aww yeah, you know you want one! Other highlights:
> Gerber MultiTool
I’m not quite sure if or how we’ll ever use this, but Survivorman never leaves home without one so neither will we.
> Prestone De-Icer windshield washer fluid
I already learned the hard way that you can’t use our regular Texas windshield washer fluid up in the mountains; it freezes. Picture me suddenly going from slightly dirty windshield to totally blind driving on I-70 in the Colorado Rockies…not fun!
> Drivin’ Food
I already have a bunch of Clif Bars and stuff like that, but that’ll get old pretty quick. Costco to the rescue! Now we’ll also be stuffing our faces during the drive with trail mix, Kashi TLC granola bars, Mrs. Mays Naturals Pumpkin Crunch, Almond Crunch and Cashew Crunch (uber tasty), Sahale Snacks Sing Buri (never tried it before but it looks interesting…soy glazed cashews, pineapples, peanuts, sesame seeds, lemongrass and Chinese chili), and more beef jerky than you can shake a stick at, if you were so inclined.
> Maps & Travel Books
The real coup de grace came courtesy of AAA. Well, not courtesy really…I did have to buy a membership. But if you ever do a road trip, the price is more than worth it. I mainly bought the membership in case we ran into trouble on the road and needed a tow or jump. I stopped by the local AAA office today hoping to get a couple of simple maps printed off. Instead, I walked out with 24 detailed maps and 21 TourBooks. It had to have been several hundred dollars worth of stuff and it was all included as part of my membership! Nice.
Alrighty, really just felt like posting something to get my part of the blog started. Better get back to doing taxes since we probably won’t make it back before April 17.
Cheers,

Hey, just checking in with anybody reading our site. We’re getting closer and closer to the SS Roadtrip’s maiden voyage to parts unknown. Stay with us as we chronicle Sam and Sam’s wacky adventures. It’s the trip YOU wish you were on if you weren’t tied to your desk job. For us, it’s only a dream. For the Sam’s, it’s an absurd reality.
