Summary
In this episode, Tom shares that he’s all packed and ready for his big American road trip, which begins this Wednesday morning from London Heathrow. He talks about finally meeting several online friends in person for the first time — James in South Carolina, David and his son in Tennessee, Hannah in Missouri, Mike in Arizona, and Joel in Illinois. While he’s looking forward to seeing them all, what he’s most excited about is simply getting behind the wheel and driving across the country. Tom also opens up a bit about his girlfriend, admitting she’s softening his edges and that he’ll be calling her every night with updates so she doesn’t worry. He even mentions his favourite yellow shirt (with a little nod to someone who knows what that means). (His girlfriend, that is) A relaxed, personal “virtual diary” episode as he prepares to fly out in just a few days. See you next week, keeper. Safe flight.
