Well, technically, I've been on a little road trip since February 1, 2010 (post one), but it really is going to kick into high gear manana (Spanish for tomorrow - for all my Republican friends).
In my head, this trip was going to be picturesque, smooth sailing, with lots of drinking, eating tons of good food, seeing some great local and non-local (Freshlyground) music, and hopefully cavorting with some beautiful southern belles. But, since road trips are just microcosms for life, things will NEVER go according to plan. And that's fine. John Lennon has me well prepared for this. Thank you, John.
So to no real surprise, Mother Nature and Old Man Winter have gotten together in one last attempt to keep me pinned on the East Coast and are presently dropping 12-15" on NYC. (We're calling it the "John Holmes blizzard of Brooklyn 2010.") And as you all know, D.C. is a cluster-fuck and is looking at 40+ inches of fun. My mom and Aunt (both Harringtons) are freaking out. My little sister (my partner-in-crime for the trip) and I are looking to buy elephant tranquilizers and slipping them into their Dunkin' Donuts / WaWa coffees respectively. (If you have any, please do not hesitate to contact either one of us.)
Irish guilt. Wonderful.
What the slut Mother Nature doesn't know is that destiny is calling and I'm still planning on heading to Annapolis tomorrow to pick up Haley.
Then on Friday, if we actually make it to Annapolis on Thursday, we'll be heading to Nashville to hang out with Simon Jay Gore (South African connection) and my girl, Emily from Brown. Nashville is setting up for a nice weekend.
These events make me remember that there are a few important things needed for a successful road trip (not necessarily in order):
Destination(s)
Rough Plan
Rough Timeline
Sense of humor
Map
Tums
Money (helps)
I'll be in touch with more info when we touch down in Annapolis.
Peace,
Groundswell
