ROAD TRIP!!!

Did somebody say Spring Break? I think they did! It's been my dream for years to go tooling around the country with no real concept of where I'm going or what I'm gonig to see. Consequently, when my friend Chris suggested a few months ago that we take a road trip for Spring Break, I was ecstatic! Unfortunately, that plan fell by the wayside for a while, no one thought about it at all... Then one day, my friend Michelle suggested a road trip and I remembered the musings of Chris and myself about spending a week totally out of sorts with no real concept of direction or location.

So now, as it stands, I'm going on a freaking road trip! Chris, Michelle, and myself shall set out on Saturday afternoon in a generally westerly direction. The plan, at least as I see it, is to stop around Knoxville on Saturday night, then cary on to Memphis on Sunday, maybe we'll actually wind up in Arkansas before the night is over, who knows? From there, we'll go to Little Rock and hang a left toward Dallas. We'll stop somewhere outside of Dallas Monday night and maybe spend part of Tuesday exploring there, then we'll head toward Austin and San Antonio. At San Antonio we'll hang ANOTHER left toward Houston and stop somewhere along the way. Wednesday we'll explore Houston and the surrounding areas a bit before moving on to Baton Rouge. Thursday we'll explore Louisiana in all it's glory and then begin heading back toward NC. We'll stop in Montgomery Alabama Thursday night and then high-tail it to Asheville on Friday where we will spend a couple of days showering and relaxing before switching to the little Saturn we just got from my Uncle and driving back to Raleigh.

This trip is by far the coolest thing I have ever done and I am really looking forward to it. I wish there were a few more people going with us to help with gas/food expenses, but I suppose the van would get a little cramped with too many more people in it. Nevertheless, I really look forward to spending time with Chris and Michelle on the road, I hope we don't drive each other crazy :).

On a slightly more depressing note, I have a FUCKTON of work to get done between now and Saturday, so I guess I really should get cracking on that, but more on the trip later!
