Time for another summer adventure! Although this one will be somewhat shorter than the last two (12 weeks in SoCal and 11 in Europe), I plan to drive more miles, visit more states, and see more cornfields than the last two summers combined. OK, so that's not really a fair comparison, but you get the idea.
I have a one-way plane ticket to Seattle tomorrow evening. I'll spend a week+ around the Northwest, buy a car, sell my motorcycle (yeah... kinda bummed about that, but it's not doing much for me sitting in Washington), hang out with friends, and go hiking a lot if the weather permits.
Then I'll pack up a bunch of stuff, and set off across country back here to NY. Via Texas. Yes, I've looked at a map and know that Texas is not on the way. However I have a conference in Austin Aug 6-8 where I'll be presenting my first paper to be published. But rather than rush back to Ithaca to catch a flight there, I can take my time, go hiking in the Rockies, see friends in WY (see March 07 post at my main blog), visit relatives in Dallas/FW area, go to the conference, and even get to see some friends from Seattle that just moved to Louisville, KY. It could stretch into almost 3.5 weeks away from Ithaca if I let it... (although 5 of those days could be considered "business")
I'll keep you all posted as this thing gets underway!
