初到美国东部，半年后西岸一所学校offer转学机会，就决定去了。本想买车横穿美国实现梦想，但是当时还不会开车，又担心车在路上抛锚，就折中坐灰狗汽车，又便宜又省事，还可以带很多家当。
大件和能寄的东西在出发前都由UPS寄走。当天一大早，室友和朋友送我们到Buffalo downtown坐车。坐bus很轻松，不用担心迷路。车每2-3小时在休息区停一次，里面人潮拥挤，各色人种，吃，喝，购物，洗手间，应有尽有，很是方便安全。到了大站，像Chicago, Des Moine 要换车拿行李，特别是夜里换车等待比较累。
坐在车里3-4天，看着日出日落，在无尽的高速公路上奔驰，经过平地和高原，穿越三个时区。在车里时而清醒，时而迷睡。有时夜里醒来，在一个离家万里的陌生国度，发现汽车飞奔在漆黑的州际公路上，不知身在何处，要去何方，觉得心中空旷迷惑，似乎听到保罗-西蒙在重返美国路上对熟睡女友轻轻吟唱： "Kathy, I am lost...”
"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together."
"I've got some real estate here in my bag."
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America.
"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pitt*****urgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've come to look for America."
Laughing on the bus;
Playing games with the faces;
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy;
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera."
"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat."
"We smoked the last one an hour ago."
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field.
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping.
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why."
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike:
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America...
到达盐湖城之前要翻一座很高的山,那时想可能是高高的落基山脉吧,然后一直从山上冲下去,就可看见灯火辉煌的盐湖城.进入加州边境还要停车检疫.到达赌城Reno时天刚刚亮。有人说很多老年人退休后就搬到那里，因为房价及生活费便宜，且赌博方便。沿着车流滚滚的80号公路到达目的地时已是下午。加州的天是晴朗的天，而我第一次穿越美国之行便告结束，新的人生之旅又要开始，看来自己开车穿越美国的梦想只有等下一次了。
