This turned out to be our first really nice day on our trip.

The day began with a song, through my morning haze it sounded familiar, Heather later told me it was “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.

After another good night sleep and kind of a slow morning we went for a walk around Eliot and Kristine’s house.

At last, I got a chance to sleep in.

I was able to sleep a little bit more on Saturday morning, but I was still out of bed by 7.

I was looking forward to a long nights sleep, which I needed.

After work I went home, threw the rest of my stuff together, I missed my bus downtown (or it just never came, who knows).

Time for another trip.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Christmas music, some it’s OK, and there are a few songs I really like, but I usually have to be careful to avoid it until the few weeks right around Christmas or I risk getting burned out.

I got a call from the impound lot of Sunday afternoon.

The final day only entailed about an hour or so on the road, at least, that was about when I think I got home, I was pretty tired.

I ended up visiting with Isaac most of the morning.

The sleeping in the car thing actually worked out pretty well, I got a good night sleep and woke up early and a ready to roll.

I finished the Omnivores Dilemma today.

So the big news on day 7 came in the afternoon.

After sleeping in, I set out to find a place with WiFi.

So, for starters, here’s the updated plan that takes into account the delayed shuttle launch and the rest of the trip.

Carol didn’t get to do any driving on day 4.

I started the day out with a hardy breakfast thanks to my Grandmother.

I started the day off by sleeping in.

So, I started out the day fulfilling my electoral duty, going down to city hall to file out an absentee ballet.

It was a dark and stormy night… and tomorrow I’m starting my longest solo road trip ever with Carol, my 1986 Nissan 200SX.
