Yes, of course it has. But I am sure you can do a self guided tour for a fraction of a packaged tour, especially if you stay out of any tourist areas like we did. The towns are so close together, and we never got to a town for the night where we weren't able to rent a cheap room. Admittedly, a few were dives, but we never had to sleep under a bridge!

My husband just about has his "suitcase bike" finished. I'm thinking about a Surly Travelers Check myself (is that not just the coolest name?!?)
