In previous challenges we've been all over, from cruises to flights.... I think we've covered it all.

Now its time to hit the road in a... ?
In a ?
What about ? A luxury bus! Now that's more like it!

------------------------------------------------



We are starting off with 10 family friendly vacation destinations and working our way around the US. (No fear, all international Bluesters get free passports, and travel expenses to the starting destination. )

The Destinations Are:
Millinocket, Maine
Washington DC
Charlottesville, VA
Nashville, TN
Orlando, FL
San Antonio, TX
San Diego, CA
Long Beach, CA
Lake Tahoe, NV
Keystone, SD

Together throughout the challenge, we will work from one destination to the next by posting our minutes of exercise on a daily basis. By posting your exercise minutes daily, you'll be working towards the final goal of completing the entire tour.

I've already started the format I would like for you all to keep your exercise time in the post below this one. Please copy and paste it for only the first 3 weeks. This will help keep the clutter down if we only go by 3 week increments.

It's pretty simple. Any intentional/formal exercise needs can be logged in your "chart". (Meaning no/none/notta housework! This includes grass cutting/garden work.) You'll need to post what you've done along with this, b/c I don't like cheaters.
Note:Wii Fit, Wii Sports and Dance Dance Revolution can be used as exercise.

This challenge is to get you motivated to exercise and log what you do. It's optional and not required, but we all know that weight loss is not just about what you eat.

The total mileage for the trip is: 5402 miles

The Second Destination

This week is a smaller number, so I'll probably be changing it Friday or Saturday.

The distance from Washington DC to Charlottesville, VA is 97 miles. Try and make it your personal goal to get close to that number this week to week and a half. It's okay if you don't, but look at it as a challenge!

Time to go visit Jaime!

Good Luck and Get Moving!
