Epic Road Trip Plans

Just a couple of weeks ago I was on a several day roadtrip because I decided to temporarily move to Oregon. (Hurray for doing things on a whim!) Now I’m planning a new roadtrip, a completely huge and awesome one across the entire country.

Here is the tentative schedule for the roadtrip of awesomeness:

July 3 – Drive from Salem, OR to San Francisco, CA  (9 hours, 43 minutes)

July 3-6 – San Francisco, CA

July 7 – Drive from SF to Los Angeles, CA  (6 hours, 26 minutes)

July 7-8 – Los Angeles, CA

July 9 – Kepa arrives in LA from New Zealand!

July 10 – Disneyland!

July 10 – Drive from Anaheim, CA to Las Vega, NM  (4 hours 20 minutes)

July 11 – Drive from Las Vegas to Tucumcari, NM  (11 hours 58 minutes)

July 12 – Drive from Tucumcari, NM to Arlington, TX  (7 hours 50 minutes)

July 13 – Arlington/Dallas, TX

July 14 – Drive from Dallas, TX to New Orleans, LA  (8 hours 28 minutes)

July 15 – New Orleans, LA

July 15/16 – Drive from New Orleans to Memphis, TN  (6 hours 13 minutes)

July 16 – Memphis, TN

July 17 – Drive from Memphis, TN to Cincinnati, OH  (7 hours 49 minutes)

July 18 – Drive from Cincinnati, OH to Northfield, NJ  (11 hours, 9 minutes)

July 19 – New Jersey/NYC

July 20 – Drive from Northfield, NJ to to Cincinnati, OH  (11 hours, 9 minutes)

July 21 – Drive from Cincinnati, OH to Memphis, TN  (7 hours 49 minutes)

July 22 – August 6 – Memphis!

Yeah, it’s a lot of driving in a short time. It’s going to be crazy. But really we aren’t interested in seeing a ton of stuff and the main places we want to stay a bit are because there are people there we like and/or it’s a place we haven’t been before. The main goal is to see as much of the country as possible, meet as many blogging friends as possible, and also to not go broke doing so.  Lot’s of meetups are planned and staying with family/friends. It’s going to be a really fun experience if nothing else. :)

Wish I could be your tourguide thru Disneyland and Vegas lol but I’m sure you’ll have tons of fun, esp once Kepa’s with you. :) so excited for your adventures!

  2. I would have a hard time narrowing down what I would want to see and eat if I was going cross country.

    Glad I made the cut!

    This is supremely epic. I’m so glad I get to do it with you. Thank you for letting me come! :)

    And slightly off topic…

    I am insanely in love with you!!! You made me fall hard, so hard I know I’ll never get up again, and I never want to. <3

  4. [...] practically nothing. Everything I own will fit nicely into my car and I like it that way, since I’m still on the move until August. But what I keep with me and what I own is only a fraction of what most of my friends and family [...]
