The BIGGEST obstacle

No trip is planned without problems to overcome. Most people would be thinking flying for 12 hours would be a problem or getting medication into the USA (maybe a later post) would be a big problem but no, not us....The biggest problem we are facing is not getting our finances to match our plans (also a big one). No, our biggest problem is getting our drivers licenses! Yes, a road trip without drivers licenses would be a little bit tricky ;).

 I can hear you think: "What 30 year old gal doesn't have their drivers licence!". Yup, that would be us....

I started getting drivers lessons aged 18. I took like over 50 lessons but failed the practical examination. In the Netherlands it is really not an exception to fail the first time. But, I didn't have the money back then to take more lessons or to take another test. So long story short, almost 12 years later I still don't have one.

My friend in crime is already in the process of getting hers. So at least one of us will know how to drive a car ;). She has  failed her examination twice by now but still not giving up hope and she is hoping three times will be her lucky time! Yes, she can drive but has a big confidence problem when the examiner sits next to her (any tips?).

So now she has to pass her exam and I need to find a driving school to get mine and I need to do that fast too! So that will be the first 2000 dollar I spend for this amazing road trip ;).
