 <\/p>\n

Travel synchronicities are always interesting and during this trip in Washington state, we\u2019ve had several that qualify as mind-blowers. Since Megan drove across the country with her dog, Riley, we kept mentioning John Steinbeck\u2019s book, Travels with Charlie. In a used bookstore in Anacortes, Rob came across a hardback of the book selling for $75. We didn\u2019t buy it, but that was the first level of the synchro.<\/p>\n

The following day, we took the car ferry to San Juan island, a trip of about an hour, and explored the island. A great day of exploration and marveling at the beauty of the island. We got into the ferry line around six for the trip back. A large van pulled up alongside us with a guy and his dog – a boxer. Megan remarked how cute the dog was, so I lowered my window and asked him how old his Boxer was.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a rescue, so probably around four or five,\u201d<\/p>\n

Riley spotted the Boxer and started growling, which drew the Boxer to the driver window.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s his name?\u201d I asked,.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u201dCharlie. We\u2019re driving across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

My synchro alarm shrieked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I just did with Riley,\u201d Megan said. \u201cOrlando to Anacortes.\u201d<\/p>\n

A lively conversation ensued about the synchronicity, we introduced ourselves. It turns out that Andy Selinger has a You Tube channel<\/a> about his travels with Charlie through the lower 48 states.<\/p>\n

So I invited him to appear on our podcast.<\/p>\n
