David’s comments from the Sneak Peak with David Holmer group.

My favorite city during this adventure came in the middle of my third week. It almost didn't happen as I sat in the bus station for over three hours waiting for the rain to let up. When it did, construction detours re-routed me right to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Afterwards, I visited the honky tonks that lined Broadway and was invited in by many bar owners and musicians, eager to tell me their stories.

Some of the best things in life are unexpected or unplanned and just come out-of-the-blue. Two of my favorite surprises during this adventure were: in Philadelphia at the Alden's Theater, where I was attending a children's theater instead of a play; and, in Washington DC at the Tidal Basin, where I made a cameo appearance on CBS's final episode of The Amazing Race.

One of the most powerful places, a perfect setting for the beginning of my book, starts with walking to ground zero and visiting the 911 Memorial. I spend the night "on the street" with the homeless on Thanksgiving eve. And, tears flow from my face as I fulfill my dream of watching the Macy's Day parade from the front row!
