♫ I'm leeavin', in a U-Haul! ♫

Apr 15, 2008 14:18

Well, since it's April 15th, I figure I'd better get this up:

I'm going on vacation (loose term, as I don't work) for two weeks. I don't know how much of a chance I'll get to check your journals, but I'll try my best to stay in touch.

So, here's the big adventure ( Read more... )

My sage advice virescentelf April 15 2008, 22:43:09 UTC

My tip would be to pee.

Pee before getting on the plane, and pee before doing extensive driving.

That and no picking up hitch hikers in this u-haul.

Peeing sounds like good advice! :D

What Vir said. And, if you can, try and get a chance to see the Painted Desert landmarks. Seriously awesome natural junk ( ... )

Wow, this is some great stuff that I didn't really get much of a chance to think about. This, and the 11' 6" clearance that the U-Haul's supposed to have. I'm sure I would have ripped the roof off before St. Louis, if my aunt hadn't mentioned it to me. XD

Proximity to Mexico=better mexican food. If you like that style of cooking, snag some while you are on the left coast. You will only regret it when you get home, and it is no longer easily accessible.

If you can get to Monterey, (and like sea creatures) the aquarium is astonishing. Best one in the country, in my opinion.

My best advice: ask the locals where the best _______ is, and then go try it. Most people are friendly and helpful, and proud of something their hometown (especially in a kickass hometown like San Francisco). San Francisco is a groovy place, and there is lots to do, and so much WONDERFUL stuff to eat. Fisherman's Wharf is a hoot, and the city itself is very easy on the eyes.

Go to the beach and look at the impressive force that is the pacific ocean... but know that the water will be COLD. Not just because it is April, but because the water off the coast of CA is always cold. Pacific shelf and all that...

Man, am I jealous/excited for you. I love it out there.

I'm really excited, too. It seems like there's going to be a lot of really amazing things to do. Already, we have plans to check out some of the waterfront destinations.

I can't wait!

Thanks for the advice. I'll hold it close to my mind while there!
