Virginia trip plans

Sunday 8-10-08 I was so tired the morning we left. My cousin and I had gone to a concert in Auburn the night before and didn’t get home until 2am. I had a few things to do before I could even go to sleep and once I finally got to sleep I only got maybe 2-3 hours of sleep. I woke up took my shower, got ready and stopped to pick up my cousin. She was riding with me to meet Meg and Lindsay in Arlington. We got down there just after 7 and waited for Lindsay and Meg to arrive. Then we were off. I tried sleeping in the car but it didn’t work so well. When we got to the airport we got through check-i...

Nevada/ Cali 08

8 day trip

Our first day on the road took <B>us</B> north on highway 395 along the eastern Sierra Mountains. That roadway, I think, is one of California's most beautiful highways. The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range rises straight up alongside the west side of the road with many of the highest peaks in the range visible along the way. As we made our way, we stopped at the Lone Pine Visitor Center for a bathroom break and to stretch our legs. There we browsed the bookstore and took in spectacular views of Lone Pine Mountain and the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. After heading back on the road, just a few minutes nor...

Los Angeles to Mt Rushmore and Places Between

14 day trip

NOTE: I took byways for most of these destinations, but most are accesible by highways and exits. Though to get true Americana, the blacktop monsters aren't the best way. CHICAGO, IL to HUNTINGTON, IN Route: Take U.S. 41 (Lake Shore Drive) South. It will turn directly into South Shore Drive and then turn left onto 87th Street and then right onto Indianapolis Boulevard once it gets to Indiana (the whole thing is clearly maked by U.S. 41 South signs the whole route). Take U.S. 41 south to U.S. 30 and make a left to head east. Stay on U.S. 30 east for about 110 miles. Turn right onto Indiana 9 an...

Americana Roadtrip

7 day trip

I am actually typing this on 10/1/07. Tomorrow I embark on my first real multi-point roadtrip and I could not be more excited. My first stop will be Eric's in Martinsburg, WV, where I plan to do some hard-core rest, relaxation and reading. There isn't much else to do in West <B>Virginia</B> anyhow! I can't wait to see them. The rest is up in the air but is slowing coming together. I have had a very enjoyable two days. I bought a new 8 megapixel digital camera for the trip, and was walking all over the East Side today testing it out. I have been doing a lot of prep-work for this trip, both physically ...

Fall Road Trip 2007

18 day trip

Ready to go. All accessories bought and organized. Weather for the week looks fantastic. Uncharacteristic of London it's going to be high 70's and sunny Monday-Wednesday. In fact, possibly no rain anywhere in the trip. Getting really excited now! (and wondering WHY am I bringing this umbrella....) Doing a "One-Bag" style trip. BA allows 1 carryon plus "purse" . My carry-on is super light, wheeled, expandable (for souvenirs). My "purse" is a medium courier bag with several zippered compartments both under and on the flap. It's a light but strong cotton, nylon lined, with this really wide, mesh-...

London, England, Great Britain Trip May 2008

11 day trip

I made it to Houston last night without any problems. The flights were smooth and on-time (not bad for Friday the 13th!!), and Omer picked me up at the airport. From there we did some grocery shopping, bought dinner, and went to his condo to eat. I was exhausted, and did not stay awake long past dinner. Today Omer has to go to a wedding and to his school to take a test, so I will be hanging out here in the condo on my own for most of the day. I don't mind - I need a day to rest and plan out the week. We do have plans to go to Austin and San Antonio, but do not have the days worked out yet for ...

Texas Trip 2008

11 day trip

Generellt, meld deg inn i NAF. Du kan derfor nytte godt av alle AAA tilbud/rabatter som nesten alle hotell og severdigheter innehar. Det billigste medlemskapet koster 490,- NOK for 1 år. Har funnet et sted som leier ut større biler for en billig penge i forhold til andre. Her blir det en Ford Expedition EL 2008 modell. Her ser dere en film på hvordan denne ser ut. Første stoppested etter at vi lander på NEWARK kl 15 er Washington DC. Det er nok en 3,5 timers kjøretur til Herndon som er en forstad til Washington. Her skal vi ligger på SpringHill Suites Hotel i 3 netter. Etter passkontroll, hent...
