Going West

Next Monday D and I embark on a cross country trek to bring her to her new home - Colorado.

Below you will find a recipe for the perfect road trip, I hope that if we follow these steps carefully and get the exact ingredients we will have a perfect little adventure come next Saturday.

Ingredients:

• A friend you like enough to drive across the nation with (ability to tolerate each other)
• Music, non stop jams and lots of them
• Comfortable pants
• Couches to sleep on (anyone?)
• A warm blanket that folds into your backpack
• A backpack
• The ability to not care where or if you sleep
• Cough drops, Emergen-c, Chloraseptic throat spray, Advil (let’s be honest we aren’t 18 anymore)
• A camera
• A good sweatshirt
• A map
• A strong feeling that American Literature has always been right, and going west is THE thing to do - uncharted territories, freedom, escape, etc.
• The ability to sleep in the car
• To stop yourself from sobbing uncontrollably on your flight home

Mix together in a blue jeep liberty full of D’s belongings and hope that the crust rises properly.

Fingers crossed - I’d say I'd write from the road, but I would be lying. I will post pictures!

Cheers to an adventure!
