Ok, so here's my map for the trip.
Obviously, the part in the corner near Chicago, is home. I will be leaving at some point near the crack of dawn on Friday October 6th, which is my actual birthday. I'll be arriving in Topeka Kansas about nine hours later. I'll check into my hotel room and see if I can find a place to go for the evening. On Saturday, I'm going to hit up Gage Park and see if I can find the Dark Tower reference. Then at some point after that I'll be heading down to Tulsa Oklahoma to visit
toriforte! I'll be there doing lord knows what until Monday morning. On Monday morning I'll be leaving for Springfield Missouri to see LalalaLori where she'll be cooking a swanky southern style breakfast for me. Mmmmmm!!! After breakfast, I'll start heading home but not before I make a quick stop at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana to see LucySpace! We'll likely have dinner and chit chat for a while. We will definitely squeal over our plans to go to KoLumbus in November. After which, I will make the final trek back home. And likely pass out.
If, by chance, you are on this route and would like me to stop by for a couple hours, let me know. Now, to see if someone wants to come with me and keep me company on the drive...
