Do you know the way to San Jose?
Yes, yes I do, and it is across 2853 miles of open highway.
In case you're wondering, we are the SF Bay Area. Into my parents' apartment in San Jose to be specific. Planning for this trip has completely consumed my brain, and when I do come up for air, I'm concentrating on my remaining days of work. We'll be driving cross country over 5 and a half days, with all 5 cats and a trailer. I suspect I will be ready to make 5 pairs of slippers by the time we get to San Jose. I am excited, happy, sad, terrified, anxious, and stressed. I will miss all my friends in FL so much, but there are so many opportunities in CA for both Erin and myself, that it's just the right time to go.
The fact that we're both unemployed and moving to one of the most expensive areas in the country makes me seriously question my sanity, but sometimes you just need to take the plunge, and that time has come. We managed to save up enough money to make getting cross country possible, and once we're both employed again (which will hopefully be soon, knock wood, etc.) we'll be shipping all our stuff via POD. We're taking a trailer with the essentials we can live without (like the 47" tv and all our video game consoles... priorities, we has them.) And I have to admit, after 10 years of being away, I am SO looking forward to being back in CA. I don't think I was really old enough to appreciate how really lucky I was to live in such an incredible area full of culture, beauty, and incredible food!
I'll be posting pictures, video, and commentary as we cruise our way across the country, so stay tuned. :)
