Going North Now

After one too many stays in Motel 6, we are done heading east and are on our way north. A few fights and tears found their way into the cab of our truck, but the road granted us the gift of Shelton Vineyards in North Carolina. We drank wine, slept well and took a long bike ride through the farmlands. I am recharged.

New Orleans

Think Pinocchio when he was in the land of boy sinners. More on this later.

Sleepless in Austin

It's 12:30am here and I can't sleep. We are supposed to get up early and go to New Orleans tomorrow but I keep thinking of all I have left behind and what the Hell have I gotten myself into. The trip is fine. Everything is fine. I am having anxiety and freaking out. I feel lonely and trapped.

Also the famous Austin bats wouldn't come out from under the bridge for us. Why?

New Mexico and Texas

Lots of driving. Lots of thinking, fantazing, working through stuff in my head. Watching the flatlands miraculously sprout enormous mountains. Watching the road be devoured by our truck.

I didn't realize how foggy the future would seem.

What the Hell is going to happen to me?

What the Hell just happened in Los Angeles?

Arizona

We're off!

On the road again. Our Penske truck is performing better than we imagined and my soul is beginning to settle a little. While driving yesterday, it finally hit me what I am doing. I am actually, finally moving to New York. The real thrill of that got me for the first time since I decided move in January.

Arizona is 113 degrees and dry as a bone. We stayed with my good friend Andy. Weary travellers are lucky to count on the hospitality of friends.

Next stop: Texas.

Zero hour

I am definitely doing it. The truck is packed, the miserable goodbyes have been said and I am waking up at my roommates parents house ready to face the road.

Arizona today. No more crying. What's done is definitely done. No going back. I am moving to new York city.
