OK. So here’s the plan…
I’m flying up to Illinois next Thursday… with the cat. I did a test run with her on the tranquilizers with hilarious results. Let’s just say that if the tranquilizers say to do it on an empty stomach… FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! 😉
At any rate, I’ll be in Illinois on Thursday with
Next Friday morning I’ll drive over to Indianapolis where I’ll be attending GenCon. This will be my third year, and I’m really and truly stoked. I didn’t think I was going to be able to go with all the moving and stuff, but I’m going to be there afterall.
Monday morning after the convention I have a job interview with the State University Civil Service System. Then I have another interview in Bloomington, IL later that day. Though these interviews may be for naught as I may have found a way to keep my current job. Then I fly back home for my last week of work.
Friday, August 18th I’ll have my last day at work in Orlando. I’ll head over to the house to pickup my stuff, say goodbye to Jackie_My_Mother-in-Law, and hit the road.
First detour is Jacksonville. Gotta say goodbye to my sister. She’s been through a lot this year, and we’ve reconnected so I can’t just leave without one last hug. And besides… it’s sortof on the way. I’ll spend the night there, and blaze a path for Chambana in the morning.
Saturday morning, I’m going to drive as far as I can before I have to stop, which probably means 12 hours of driving, maybe more depending on how I feel. 12 hours would put me in around Nashville which seems like a nice place to stop on the way up. I don’t know anyone in Nashville so I’ll probably be getting a room at a Super 8 or something.
Sunday I’ll be within six hours of my destination so I should be there by early afternoon. I can’t wait to finally be in my new home, and to sleep in my bed again.
Anyone that wants to call me over the next couple of weeks, here’s my new cell phone…

Good luck with everything Sammy!
PS: You also have to make sure to say goodbye to your other sister too…..aahhemmm! 😛
Absolutely! 🙂

“around Nashville which seems like a nice place to stop”
That’s a joke, right?
What I mean is that it probably has a number of motels that I can choose from… not that it’s a place I would like to stop and hang out in. ;p

Bah, I’ll actually be in O-Town on the 19th and you’ll be gone. Just my luck.
I hope you have a good trip.

Not so fast, mister… I’ll be in the office during the day. If you’re in South Orlando we might be able to grab some lunch.

Oh, and if you need somewhere to crash for Gencon, I have a room to myself Thursday Friday and Saturday nights.
Thanks for the offer. I found a place to crash via couchsurfing.com 🙂

But is it swank? Because I’m paying like a hundred bucks per night for this hotel room, and I’m pretty sure there’s going to be an entire spare bed I won’t use.
Unless I’m feeling saucy and decide to get up in the middle of the night and switch beds.
