Flying Through the Plains

After their horrible night at the motel, Oprah and Gayle were so happy to get to the Kansas border that they wanted to honor a couple of that state's most famous fictional residents. How better to toast Dorothy and Toto than a rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow?"

The Sunflower State meant more than just The Wizard of Oz. It also marked the halfway point of the cross-country journey. "When you look on the map, you see Kansas right in the middle," Gayle said. "So don't you feel that New York is in striking distance?"

"I feel like it's still a long way to go," Oprah said.
