Summary
In this episode, Tom checks in from Houston, Texas. He explains that he has officially cut the West Coast part of his trip short (no Arizona, Las Vegas, or California) and is taking things at a much slower, more relaxed pace. He talks about how much he’s enjoying Texas and the welcoming atmosphere, and confirms he’ll be heading back to Missouri, then Tennessee to see David and his family again, before flying home. He also mentions looking forward to picking up his new Volkswagen Golf on July 12th when he returns to the UK. Tom reflects that while he still loves driving, next time he’d rather spend more time with friends and less time on long hauls across the country. A calm, honest, and reflective update straight from the road. See you next week, keeper. Enjoy the rest of your time in Texas.
