We had to cut our Dallas because of the rain. One day I'll get to the grassy knoll.
Our Southern Style road trip kicks off in T-minus 3 days.
Preparations have been made and my car has been packed for two days. We've made our trips to the store and trips to our laundry room, making last minute efforts to shove as much as we can into our suitcase.
This trip is different than the last– more relaxed. We know (for the most part) what we are in for. We survived 21 days in the "wilderness" last time, 11 days should be cake. We aren't cocky, we aren't nervous. We am ready to hit the road and explore the states, and as always, I am ready to explore myself. The open road, as so many cliches go, allows for you to think about things like you couldn't do normally. Where I want to be, where I want to go, who I want with me. These things, I am sure, will be in and out of my mind while I pass mile marker after mile marker on the highway.
So, like I do with most trips, I plan on clearing my head of all the negativity and all those filling it with negativity, and instead, fill it with the wonder of cultures and landscapes different than my own. (Thats the anthropologist in me). I want to take in all that the cities are.
