Trip’s End

The Road Trip Almost Without End Reached its End, 24 days after the start. The bags are unpacked, I’ve had a couple of glasses of St Louis water, and I’m looking forward to sleeping in my own bed, eating non-restaurant food, and lifting weights in the basement again.

Almost 4,400 miles, 10 hotels/AirBnbs, 13 states, countless joys, and most importantly no nights sleeping in the car.

States in order:

  • Missouri
  • Illinois
  • Indiana
  • Kentucky
  • West
  • Virginia
  • Maryland
  • Pennsylvania
  • New York
  • Massachusetts
  • New Hampshire
  • Maine
  • Vermont
  • Ohio

I don’t know if we will ever be gone so long or change locations so frequently again.

Oops, I left this off but I have to add it: “Live Free or Die!”

My trip souvenir shirt was from Cushnoc brewery in Augusta Maine; I love that shirt. It’s so soft, so understated, so flattering.

Erin was an integral part of the second act
Look deep, deep into my eyes and see what a square mirror with a lighted edge does to your pupils. Namely, a bright square pupil and a harsh light that makes you look 20 years older. Maybe more
Hmm, is it still set on selfie? Where are my reading glasses. Maybe if I .. oops
I’m ready for my closeup, Mr DeMille
So long … for now
