rmI am leaving for Texas on December 8th, and leaving to return on December 15th.
This means I will arrive on the 10th and 17th respectively.
My trip will take me through places like Tennssee and Alabama and I expect to have a ridiculously thick accent by the time I arrive.
I will be bringing a minimum of stuff with me, and hope to fit everything into my backpack. Then I'll also have a shopping bag with gifts (Tiffany stuff and aussie candy) and a cooler with snacks so I am not making extraneous purchases along the way.
If I put frozen water bottles in the bag, and pick up other cold things at various stop overs, I should be able to keep food happy and edible, especially sicne I'll bring a lot of vacuum sealed stuff that will survive well anyway. Also I can bring things that are more peripshable to eat earlier in the journey.
I know everyone keeps saying "as a friend, I am telling you not to do this", and I know as well as anyone bus trips are gruelling. But among other things, this is the only way I can afford to go. Additionally, it provides several days where I can't do anything other than not be a control freak, and I am viewing the whole thing as a sort of forced isolation to get right with myself. Would I rather be able to do that by going to Oz all by my lonesome in January? You bet. But do I know that will happen soon enough? Absolutely.
Plus, just think of the audblog posts.
To Texas
And back again
