What had Tom planned for Jim?

Chapter the Last: "Nothing More to Write"
Tom tells Huck he had planned for them to run all the way to the mouth of the Mississippi if they had managed to escape unharmed.
And he said, what he had planned in his head from the start, if we got Jim out all safe, was for us to run him down the river on the raft, and have adventures plumb to the mouth of the river, and then tell him about his being free, and take him back up home on a steamboat, in style, and pay him for his lost time, and write word ahead and get out all the niggers around, and have them waltz him into town with a torchlight procession and a brass-band, and then he would be a hero, and so would we. But I reckoned it was about as well the way it was.
