My Grand Adventure, Part 1
First off, my family tried everything they could to dissuade me from driving cross-country. They tried to explain to me that it was cheaper to fly, my cats would be okay flying, etc., but I was damn set that I was going to make a cross-country road trip.
So it was me, my trusty car, my two cats (I had three, but one I had to put to sleep before I made the move; that's a whole other story altogether), and some myriad belongings and office accoutrements! All my office was contained in my backseat, and my cats were contained therein as well! Well, only one, as Loki Poke decided he wanted NOTHING to do with being in a cat carrier. None of that for him! So he snoozed in the backseat the whole way there.
Well, we stayed at a hotel each night. Who knew driving for 8 or 9 hours or longer at a stretch was so exhausting? Oh yes it is, especially if you drive a stick shift, which I always have. My knees were cramping up, my feet were sore from the constant pedal-pushing,
Okay, that is it for now! I shall continue this shortly, and there will be pics!
