Pros

1. I will be able to sleep under the stars
2. I will spend multiple weeks with kids that are cream of the crop
3. I will see tons of American land marks
4. I will meet people that will serve as great resources in the future
5. I will put my physical endurance to the ultimate test

Cons

1. No sleep AT ALL
2. No fancy hotels this trip
3. The short amount of time in every place
4. I will probably have some permanent soreness if  I sleep on a fence like the  girl in the power point
5. I can cook, but only if I have the materials on hand, starting from scratch will be an extreme challenge
