The concept of the trail

After we were done with the basics of the registration process, the next important task was to come up with a Travel Plan. We were bound within certain parameters that the organisers had stipulated -
a) The travel has to begin from Mumbai and end there
b) The travel requires us to complete a minimum of 3000 km by the end of the drive - minimum of 300 km per day and a maximum of 350 km per day.
c) The finalists will have 12 days to complete 3000 km.

We put on our thinking caps and had our fair bit of banter and arguments about where to go. What should be our theme? Should we have a theme at all? Like all good couples, we finally converged to a theme that we thought is evergreen and reverberates with all of us - FREEDOM! So, we decided to call our travel plan - The Freedom Trail.
