T minus 88 days!!!

Now decided to save weight and probably face - I'm going to do this journey with a credit card. Not literally, credit card touring just means in cyclist terms I will be staying in motels, hotels and eating in diners. Hence I don't need to carry a tent, sleeping bag, roll Matt, stove, cooking equipment etc etc etc etc.
I don't need to worry quite so much about being eaten by bears. Still going to invest in some bear mace though as who knows when I'll need it.

This should make the journey a lot more manageable for a lazy novice like me but a bit more expensive.

Can't you mix and match? You don't have to eat every meal in a diner, you can make your own apples/sandwiches etc. What about mapping out hostels? Cyclists support? (see links) staying in a motel every night for two months would cost a huge amount more wouldn't it? Though I can't imagine it would be easy to find a camp site each night either

If I mix and match I still have to carry all the extra gear which means a lot of extra hard work. I'm going to spoil myself.
