T-7 Days!

In seven days I will be commencing my big road trip back to the east coast.

In case I wasn't totally clear previosuly, I'm moving my base of operations to New York City.

The place has been beckoning me for a while. And, well, it's time for a change.

Don't get me wrong. I love Los Angeles. And I will return often. But I just feel a need to be in New York right now. I know it's where I'm meant to be at this point in my life. In the city at the center of the universe.

I will look upon these past five years in LA fondly. The amazing friendships it has brought me. The skills it has taught me. I'm self-employed! I have a dream job!

It really feels like I'm graduating from business school or something.

So anyway, I'm sure I'll get all mushy and cheesy this week and spend lots of time reflecting on the past five years.

For now...our tentative itinerary:

Saturday, June 13
Drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas

Sunday, June 14
Drive from Las Vegas to Shiprock, NM (visiting my cousin Charmaine)

Monday, June 15
Shiprock, NM to El Paso to Austin, TX (15-hour maniacal driving day)

Tuesday, June 16
Austin, TX to New Orleans

Wednesday, June 17
Day of fun in New Orleans

Thursday, June 18
New Orleans to Atlanta

Friday, June 19
Atlanta to DC

Saturday, June 20
DC to NYC

It's gonna be a doozy!

  1. Have Fun! Just came back from a road trip from Atlanta to Arizona.
    Made many similar stops.

    The drive through New Mexico and parts of Texas are SO. BORING.
