My Life in Transit

These days, it feels like I spend most of my time on the move. Specifically behind the wheel of my car. Driving is not one of my favorite activities, and living in such rural locations has made me strongly dislike highways, but I am trying to tap into my NJ roots and be more confident behind the wheel on 5 lane interstates.
I finished up my job at the ranch at the beginning of the month, jetted off to Miami for a lovely R&R vacation, and then began my drive south from Bozeman MT.
Besides the actual driving the car aspect, I really do enjoy road trips. There is a lot to see out the windows, and you have enough time to look at everything you want to. You can get food and take bathroom breaks pretty much whenever you want, and listen to music/books on tape all day. Its a pretty good life...except for the whole driving part, and that I am stuck in my itty bitty car all day almost every day.
But, another plus about road trips, and especially solo road trips, is that you can make pit stops wherever you want. I am currently in Denver visiting old friends from college and the Ice. This weekend, I will hike to the river of the Grand Canyon, and with any luck, hike out, with Ashley. And then its Thanksgiving, then home to Florida for a short time before the eternal travels start again for the Christmas season.

But, the culmination of it all will be in January.....

when I go to BHUTAN for a year to teach!!!
