That's the most glowing endorsement if I ever did see one.

San Jose -> San Diego, 2 Days
San Diego -> Las Vegas, 2 Days Las Vegas -> Denver, 2 Days Denver -> Salt Lake City, 2 Days Salt Lake City -> Portland, 2 Days Portland -> Chicago, 3 Days Chicago -> Pittsburgh, 2 Days Pittsburgh -> Boston, 2 Days Boston -> New York City, 3 Days New York City -> Washington DC, 2 Days Wash DC -> Tampa, 2 Days Tampa -> Aruba, 2 Days Aruba -> Houston, 2 Days Houston -> San Jose, 2 Days 14 airports. 30 days. I'm still double checking all the connections but I think this probably the max you can hit within the promotion. I originally wanted to do the international parts like Aruba, PR, San Jose, Cancun but that's just not workable or it'll has to be a trip in itself. Considering the extra costs needed for traveling outside of the airport, food, and living expenses, I'm going to be spending at least $3k ($599 pass + $200 taxes/fees + $1000 food + $1000 beds + rental car/cabbing/bussing?) for everything. Concept wise, I'm also drawing a blank, I need a hot geek girl/onair personality to come along. I can Ustream all the airports but no one will sponsor/pay for it--certainly not JetBlue since they know 1000 people will consider it, a dozen will go through with it, and all the social media marketing will be valued at zero. At best you can tape yourself going to all the airports and talk about them (review the architecture, shops, food, services, etc.) but that's boring after awhile. Time-lapsing and condensing the footage into a 5 minutes Where In the World is Matt video, maybe, but that's marginally novel and I think will only be a moderate (YouTube: 500k? Vimeo: 100k?) viral hit. How do I monetize on viral videos? I don't have access to a pre-existing support system so it makes it that much harder, whoever has access to a film/production crew or video podcast already can certainly this take this and run a big play. Who has connects? Let's talk, I'm willing to help. In my mind I think this is the greatest modern American road trip you can get but in the BACK of my mind where logic resides I think this is the worst idea ever. Argh... bad idea, bad idea, bad idea, bad idea... Edit: This would allow for THE best geocache or turfwar game. EVER. Or an web-based Amazing Race knockoff. Argh, I need to start a production company. PS. How fast will I end up on the terrorist watch list after this? |
