It’s 1145am and I just finished packing. My alarm is going to go off in 5 hours, so I don’t really have time to make this intro as elegant or compelling as a kick-off blurb should be, but such is life.
Tomorrow I’m flying to Charleston, SC specifically to force the drive I’m making from Georgia to Seattle into a full Coast to Coast run. Run is an overstatement as I’ll be taking many breaks and spreading it across a 2 week period.
The course looks something like this:
Sunday: SEA to CHS by air, drive a rental car to ATL
Monday: Work, drop off rental, pick-up my 2022 First Edition Ford Maverick Lariat with 4k tow package, enjoy an evening with my sister and her husband and my impossibly adorable nephew.
Tuesday: Work, drive to Nashville, spend the evening with my very dear friends Chad and Leilani and their daughter Ruby.
Wednesday: Work, drive to St. Louis, get psyched for the very last StrangeLoop conference.
Thursday: StrangeLoop!
Friday: StrangeLoop! And then pickup Maya, my love and partner and only true cohort in this oft times baffling world from the airport to spend time with her in STL since I won’t be making the trip every year anymore.
Saturday & Sunday: Missouri botanical gardens and sundry other activities in STL with Maya my love.
Monday: last day in STL, take Maya to the airport, drive to Emporia, KS
Tuesday: Visit the salt mines Hollywood archives over 600 ft underground in Hutchinson, KS continue to Limon, CO
Wednesday: Work, drive to Moab, UT, marvel at nature.
Thursday: Work, drive to Tremonton ID.
Friday: Drive as close to Seattle as possible, but likely to Yakima. Get tamales in Union Gap and try to get a quick visit with my Aunt Wendy if I arrive at a reasonable hour.
Saturday: Drive to SEA and pick-up my love and dearest buddy Maya to join me on the drive to Westport, WA to complete the coast to coast journey.
Sunday: Lazy breakfast and drive back to SEA to collapse at home.
Monday: Day off to enjoy being home and recharge.
Wish me luck and…
