Well, today is the day. I've gotten up just slightly after the birds (it's 4:58am) and will be jumping in the shower shortly. I want to leave by 6am. Then I should arrive in So Cal by 3pm, or 4 at the latest. I'm pretty much prepared. Just have to pack my "toiletries" after the shower.
As I said earlier, I have my GPS all ready to go, then I got a bluetooth (since you can't talk on your cell phone in Calif.) -
The coffee was set last night and all ready for me this morning. That is soooo nice. Didn't have to wait for it to perk. I went to bed at 9:30 last night but had a tough time sleeping. I guess I'm a little nervous to be driving down to Calif by myself, but I'll do okay. I really do prefer to drive than to fly. The airports are just so prohibiting nowadays. Gotta get there an hour early, check in, just sit around, get on the plane, sit another 20 minutes to 1/2 hour, finally take off, blah blah blah -- then you land. Gotta get a shuttle bus to your destination, that takes another hour or so, what a drag. So driving is for me. At least this trip. I'll stop off in Bishop, CA (that's about 1/2 way down) and go to Schat's Bakery- they have great fresh baked bread, and make really good sandwiches. I'm gonna buy Mom and Dad a little something there. But Bishop is also the beginning of the ugly part of the trip - when you start getting out of the mountain/green area and into the desert part of California. I guess that can be pretty, too, but there isn't much to look at there. Then on home to the O.C.
I'm excited and nervous. I'll miss my house and my Hubby and my dogs. The old familiarity. But then I'll get to my old homestead and see my parents, my sisters (maybe even my brothers?) and have a good time. It's gonna be a great vacation.
Well, talk to y'all later -
