adiva_calandiaSo this fall, there's college, yeah? College on the east coast.
And my parents went, "Hey, you know, we haven't gone on a cross-country road trip since 1995. Here's a good excuse! [Adiva], you want to learn to drive the RV and drive the Alaska-Canada Highway, right?"
And I went, ". . . Sure!"
And then I went, "DUDE, cross-country road trip!"
So.
Note that these dates are VERY rough and subject to change, dependant on everything from Mom's work schedule to college acceptances.
July 18: Leave Anchorage. The AlCan runs along the west coast, through BC and the Yukon, and I think all my Canadian peeps are on the east coast, so.
July 26: Arrive in Seattle.
July 27: Leave Seattle, arrive in Portland.
July 29: Leave Portland, arrive in Boise or Pocatello.
July 30: Leave Idaho, arrive in Denver.
August 4: Leave Denver, arrive in Oklahoma City.
August 7: Leave OK City, arrive in Kansas City.
August 8: Leave KA City, arrive in Iowa (somewhere).
August 11: Arrive in Chicago.
August 12: Leave Chicago, arrive in Buchanan.
August 16: Leave Buchanan, arrive in Pittsburgh, where parentals will be leaving me. Unless, of course, it's actually New York.
Again, those dates are rough. The locations, however, aren't -- we'll definitely be stopping in each of the places mentioned.
Which means: meet-ups! This is just a heads-up for those of you along the route; dates will be updated as things gets solidified (how's that for non-specificity?). See, I'll be missing the official Millicon '07; so I'll just have to string as much of it across the country as I can.
(In a semi-related vein, Dad and I need music to keep us entertained while we drive through miles and miles ofnothing pristine Canadian wilderness. Who has good road-trip songs?)

Date: 2007-01-04 07:18 am (UTC)Good road trip songs...hee. I have most of the usual fare on my own road trip playlist: "Life is a Highway" (Tom Cochrane), "Get Out The Map" (Indigo Girls), "Thunder Road" (Bruce Springsteen), "Turn the Page" (Bob Seger)...okay, so the last one's not exactly an upbeat road trip song, but hey. I also have this amazing song called "Long Way" by Antje Duvekot which is probably a lot harder to find, so I can send it to you if you want.

Date: 2007-01-04 08:45 am (UTC)Uhm, I'll actually probably be over there somewhere in August. At various points between Aug. 8-Aug. 19, I'll be aroundish...lynchburg, VA and greensburg, PA are two almost-definites. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for /us/ to meet up over there?
(I'm taking the high
ly overpriced plane triproad...but once I land (probably at JFK or Laguardia) there will be much trainage... one of us should be intimately familiar with Amtrak by then...)no subject
