The trip to Cali...
Okay, so I have been asked how much mileage and such the drive was from Raleigh to San Diego, so here are my stats:
Mileage actually driven - 2526 (Mapquest and GoogleMaps I think told me something around 2556 or so)
Money spent on gas - $268.01 (extra penny because machine wouldn't stop when I wanted it to)
Number of packs of gum chewed so not to smoke - 6 packs of Dentyne Ice (3 alone through Texas)
Number of states passed through on the ride - 10 (including NC and CA since I do have to cut through parts of each state)
Number of pics taken from the driver's seat - dunno....I'll get those uploaded to Myspace as soon as I actually get fully set up.
Number of friends back on the East Coast that I will miss - lots
Joy felt as I crossed through my home state - exponential...felt like I had come home nearly full circle
Anxiety felt with the beginnings of the new chapter in my life - definitely felt but keeping to a minimum.
This is one of the best things that I could probably have done for myself over the years...it has been long overdue for a change in my life that old circumstances were preventing from happening. I thank those who have been truly supportive, and the rest of ya'll I have only one thing to say: Don't count me out of the game just yet. I don't scream uncle very easily..... ¶ 1/01/2008 01:21:00 PM
