Road trippin’
so I leave on wednesday probably(though possibly thursday, all dependent on when I get my comp back from gateway(I could use the old laptop and may have to, but I hope not)). Anyhoos, yes.
So tomorrow I need to accomplish these three things:
Send out thesis to possible publishers
Send some mead with Kamran from the airport
Put antifreeze in the car, and buy some extra windshield wiper fluid to put in trunk
Burn some MP3 cds for some rockin’ music(contingent on getting the comp back)
Check the KOA website for campgrounds on the trip(reserve some if possible)
Get the tent from the ‘rents house
Pack
Bring some books to read in the evenings before turning in.
I plan to drive 8-10 hours a day, and relax the rest of it, reading some books, enjoying fresh air. Then set out again. It ought to be a fun trip.
Heads up for the next road trip: Roundabouts June 22/23rd, back around July 1 or 2. Possibly earlier leaving/later getting back, should anyone want to stay longer in some tourist spot such as the Grand Canyon or Mount Rushmore or Loralee in Utah or the Biggest ball of twine in minnesota. But I plan to hit at least one of these up on the way out(or back, though back might be kind of tough). And of course housing considerations are considerably cheaper dependent on one’s willingness to bring a large tent and sleep in it(vs. a hotel). But that’s for next time. I’m TRYING to give people enough time to plan for it, should they want to go.
so there you have it. time to get some sleep to be ready for tomorrow’s big plannings.
