Leaving Birmingham this Sunday....

So, four weeks has gone by pretty fast. I spent some good times with friends, been to Six Flags and went out dancing. My family is still trying to get the new house together, so I guess they will be moving on their own in the next couple weeks. I hope to do some thinking and blogging while I'm on the road...

My road trip schedule: 40 hours of driving in 5 days...

Sunday (drive 12 hours): stopping in Oklahoma City, OK
Monday (drive 8 hours): stopping in Albuquerque, NM
Tuesday (drive 7 hours): stop and visit Grand Canyon national Park
Wednesday (drive 8 hours): stop in Burbank, CA
Thursday (drive 5 hours): arrive in Santa Clara, CA (my new home and job!!)

Be on the lookout for a blog during my stops... I'm only sleeping at hotels with free internet...haha

home sweet home alabama (bham update)

I started my trek down South last Saturday, after spending two days in New York City. I drove 16 1/2 hours non-stop (minus gas and food) from New Haven, CT train station to Peachtree City, GA. I visited a friend there and stayed overnight before driving home Sunday afternoon to Birmingham. I am finally feelin a lot better. I came down with this awful sore throat congestion body ache thingy last Friday.

Anywhoo...I've hungout a couple times with friends in Bham, and looking forward to going out a bit more. Latin Dancing next weekend is listed in Black & White (a newspaper just for local arts and entertainment postings). I will definitely be at that event....

I saw my parents new house the other day, and it needs work!! They just closed on this week on our current house, and will close on the new one next Wednesday. I hope they are planning to hire a bunch of professionals to take care of all the stuff in a lightning fast time. (My dad is very focused on moving before July 1. (Don't ask me how its going to happen)..hahaha

Until things get frantic at home, I hope to get some much needed downtime like hangin out at Cambridge Coffee and going out at night....I haven't been able to do that in a long time. I have exactly 22 days to enjoy this until I drive out for California!!! My how the time flies....
