Yes.

[Erin] What would you say

to us about our husbands?

I asked where the

husbands are and you guys

told me you guys are married

so that's actually

really cool too.

Sonya and I were

thinking of getting

wedding band tattoos

while we were here.

Where?

Tattoo your face.

[Erin] The guy's

name is Desmond

No way.

Why, make a statement

man, that's the only way.

You don't see any tattoos on

my body or anything like that

yet it's all clean.

[Erin] you don't usually

wear your wedding ring?

Yeah, I hardly wear it.

Well I took it off today because

I had to go through TSA but

even when I'm at

work I don't wear it

because it just

gets in the way so

I'm actually thinking

about the same thing.

[Erin] So I see you

have a lot of tattoos,

did you get those

done in Hawaii?

Yeah, all mine

are done in Hawaii.

[Erin] Are tattoos

pretty popular there?

Some what, I mean yeah but

most of them just

have meanings to them.

It's only pain for love

It's only pain for love

Only pain for love dear

Only pain for love dear

It's only pain for love

It's only pain for love

Only pain for love dear

Only pain for love dear

I've got the key,

got it in my pocket

and everything, all

the paperwork's set.

Everything is good so

we travel on with the

journey and take the car

to the next location.

Why don't you

leave the car here?

I don't mind

driving that around.

I'll get a blast.

I don't ever want

to go back to work.

I don't want to ever

have normal jobs.

I just want to move to

Maui and sell our art

and make it here.

[Erin] My wife's saying that

she wants to move here now.

Oh right on!

When'd you girls get married?

[Erin] A year and a

half ago in Vermont.

Congratulations.

[Erin] Thank you.

Maui absolutely needed this.

We have a great gay, lesbian,

bisexual, transgendered

community over here and over

the past couple of years

it's really started to coalesce.

So to have you come

here, raising awareness

for gay rights is so

important for Maui.

Don't give up the fight

Love is gone bite

Love is gonna reign

We've got to sacrifice here

Every single night

Looking for a dream

We'll build it every time

The heart is gonna beat

[Erin] This trip I have

four events and I'm driving.

Drive to Alaska back home out

of 20 days I'm on the road

I only have four events

the rest is driving.

So I brought Hoosick

with me on this trip.

[Voiceover] He's

a cute little guy.

And you know if he goes

missing, I didn't take him.

[Erin] So I'm

right outside where

my car's getting

shipped, I'm at the port.

It seems like the company

that handled my shipping

didn't put it on the right

boat because they said that

the cars coming in from Hawaii,

they come in once a week.

So obviously my

car didn't get on

the right shipment

leaving Hawaii.

USDA doesn't come and

they're located about a half

hour away, they don't come.

They only come on Tuesdays

so asking them to come

when they usually come

and check all the cars.

So like tons of cars

they check in one day

that they're not gonna

want to come here,

half hour away just

to check one car.

They take a glove they

go underneath your wheel

where your tire is and if

there's any dirt on the glove

your car gets held for

another day or two,

which will be going into

Wednesday, Thursday.

So if I don't get my car

until Thursday and I have an

event Saturday

night in Anchorage,

which is 45 hours away,

I'm definitely not

gonna make it in time.

I just got a text

message from my mom

asking if I made it to Oregon

Ok, if I was still in Oregon

and she asked when I'm

beginning to drive to Alaska

and just add or did

you change your mind?

Yeah, I feel like I just

came too far to just go home

without doing it,

you know what I mean?

Just waiting here for

a week for a few days,

I wouldn't wanna

just, I don't know.

I have to figure something out.

So in response to a

Facebook update that I posted.

I posted there was no delay

on the boat coming over here

the car just didn't get

on the ship in time,

it got on a week late.

So in response to that,

this person named

Ray wrote and said,

"Have you considered

that maybe this mess

"is the universe's way

of letting you know

"that it's perhaps not an

altogether bright idea to take

"a sometimes unreliable

vehicle on a 45 hour

"drive up to Alaska.

"Having car trouble when

you'll be traveling isn't like

"anything you've had

to deal with elsewhere

"in the country.

"I just don't have

a good feeling about

this leg of things.

"Not on the tail end of all the

recent car troubles you've had."

I've opened my refrigerator

500 times ("Bored" by Astrogin)

I keep on hoping but

there's nothing inside

I'm checking my messages

Every five or 10 minutes

Searching my mind but

there's nothing in it

Well I'm bored

Out of my mind

I'll be crazy in good time

Today is Saturday and I'm

just stuck waiting in Tacoma

Washington, today is Sunday

and I'm still waiting

waiting it out.

Today is Monday, I'm still

waiting in Tacoma Washington

I should be getting a

call in about 10 minutes

from the port, just

with an update.

The road is clear now I

see all the way ("My Luck

Today" by Los Blancos)

And all the lights are green

And everybody's out my way

Oh I can't believe

my luck today

And Oh I can't

believe my luck today

I know it's something that

she's got her mind set to do

and I'm proud of her and

it's kind of nerve

wrecking worrying about her

but I hope everything

works out well,

especially this trip to Alaska.

I always just use

my GPS for traveling.

I'm really horrible

at reading maps.

I've been to Canada and used it.

I assumed that Alaska

will be in the GPS.

And I just went

to type in Alaska

and three states came up for A,

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas.

So Alaska is not showing

up on my GPS which presents

a little problem.

Do you know how to

get there from here?

Yeah, you get on the

freeway and go north.

[Erin] Go north?

Yeah.

[Erin] And what freeway?

High Five.

[Erin] How far away is that?

50 kilometers, 30 miles.

The intersection up top there,

you should have turned right.

And you probably

went straight down

and came down on

this street here.

[Erin] Any advice

for getting to Alaska?

If you see a sign that

says, "Bump", you better

slow down for it or it

might cost you some money.

Have fun, what

else can you do?

Don't pick up strangers.

[Erin] Do a lot of people

come through here for gas?

[Voiceover] Yes,

there is a lot.

[Erin] A lot of truck drivers?

[Voiceover] Not

Americans to Alaska.

[Erin] Are there a lot

of gas stations on the way?

Well, when you see one

you better stop and gas up.

So far I have kept my gas tank

three quarters of a tank

full at all times or higher.

So every time I'm getting down

to three quarters of a tank,

I'm filling up.

If you could see me now
