Crawling out from under my rock.

Hello all,

In case you were wondering (which I'm pretty sure no one was as you all have Facebook and NO ONE made numerous frantic calls to make sure I landed safely) I did make it home from Hawaii in one piece.  Special shout-outs to Chris and Amy for braving LAX on a Thursday evening in order to pick me up.  In a truck no less.  Also, Michelle and Dan get a major props for letting me park at their place for a month and then having my car washed for me.  They are definitely more thoughtful than I am.

Here is the good news - I found my address book today so I can actually mail out souvenirs to those of you I wish to bestow presents upon.  That is unless you live in LA in which case I will deliver them eventually as I already paid for the presents and am not going to pay to ship them a quarter mile.  Thrifty midwestern values and all.  Family - I have no idea if I will be shipping your prezzies or sweet talking mom into taking them home with her after her visit next week.

I've gotten questions about my travel and I've managed to muddle my way through answers.  Truthfully I am still trying to get my bearings on where I am and what time zone I'm operating in.  Maybe in a week I will have my head on straight and can give more appropriate answers to "What was your favorite part?".  Maybe.  I have downloaded all of my pictures to snapfish and once I delete some of the more redundant and out of focus pictures I will email a link.  I hope you all got a feel for the trip as we went along from the blog and the photos.  It definitely felt like I had company along the way.  Sometimes I even did (Jami, you were a driving rock star).

This post concludes the Pacific Rim adventure.  I head out on a road trip to South Dakota in a couple of weeks and I'm not sure if there will be blogging then or not.  If there is, I hope you will all continue to indulge me.

One last thing, next summer my goal is a road trip around the US to visit all of my friends and family that I haven't seen in awhile/don't see enough.  I'm hoping to stop in Seattle, NY, Washington, South Carolina, and Missouri.  Let me know if you have any ideas for additional stops.

xoxo

  1. Glad you are home safe! Might I suggest the lovely Jersey Shore as a future destination? I can't promise you will see any reality "stars," but we do have a lovely town and good food. And we are only a two-hour train ride from NYC.
