Trip Report

14. March 2010 by admin.

Greetings everyone!

I know I haven’t written a blog since #ert began. Nikita and I got back from the trip safe and sound March 1. Shortly after that, however, I got SuperFlu (a not-too-distant cousin of conplague) and that’s why there hasn’t been an update. The videos from the trip can be found on Nikita’s qik account and all of my pictures are up on my Flickr account and I’ll post a link up to Nikita’s as soon as I am able to steal her SD card from her (probably some time tonight or tomorrow).  When I see her, I’ll update this entry with the total number of miles it took us to get from Tampa, FL, (where we reset the odometer on the truck) to Redmond, WA. We were in Florida from the afternoon of 2/15 through the afternoon of 2/17 (although we left my parent’s house in the morning, we ended up messing around quite a bit). Arrived in Louisiana around noon on the 18th and left late on the 20th. Our next stop was just outside of Dallas, TX, to stay with Nikita’s family and we got there around noon on the 21st. After having a great time with her family and grabbing lunch with Digi, we “kidnapped” her brother and left Texas around seven at night (local time) on the 25th. Although we would’ve liked to have spent more time there, we did only a quick stay with Jayson Street and his wife in Oklahoma City. We arrived in Denver, CO, late on the 26th and was able to have a few drinks with the 303 crowd. Left the following morning (noonish) and arrived at Salt Lake City. Stayed there and harassed Hektik until Sunday, when we decided we were all ready to be back home. We arrived in Redmond about 8:30/9:00 AM local time.

I’m sorry if you sat there and read that whole paragraph. The next post I put up will be about things that we learned while we were on the road trip.
