I'm posting it here to make it official. I've decided to plan a trip from Auburn, NH to Spanish Fort, AL and back in the early spring of 2013 to visit my Sister. It looks to be about 1500 miles each way so I'm guessing probably a three day trip one way. This will be the longest trip I've ever planned or ridden and I have the winter to get me and my bike ready. I may even be able to get my squid brother to join me

. If anyone could chime in with tips or must do rides, I would be greatly appreciative.
