I've also spent some time devising 'The Beancounters Do America' route across America. I would love some feedback on what you think about the planned route and in particular if you've got any tips or can think of anything I've missed. It's just a discussion document at the moment and is completely fluid but it kind of makes geographical sense to me. Basically I've included everything that has interested me whilst trawling through copious amounts of Websites and books, but there is some stuff that we'll never get too. I'm not intending to stop in every place, most are just drive throughs on the way to more interesting things. Incidentally I've had very little input from Mx as yet, so no doubt she'll butcher my list and add her own places to it.
