Associated Press art editor Nicolas Rapp plans to drive around the world starting next month. I have always wanted to do something like this and I will be following his adventures closely from posts on his blog: http://transworldexpedition.com.

Check out his blog also to see how he planned his route and what he intends to do about the trouble spots (http://transworldexpedition.com/?p=99). I can't wait to read about his time in Africa and South Asia ... driving around with NY plates.
