Alrighty....where did i leave off. I don't remember where i did that last update from!....Ahh...it was a Starbucks north of Baltimore i think. Anyways....oh....i need to update from the day before as well.
I woke up that morning bound for the Smithsonian air and space museum @ Dulles airport.....Made my way there....not too difficult....and that started the toll trend of the day...boourns...that gets expensive fast!....so get there....security check of course....oh....that's one thing i forgot to mention about the holocaust museum was the security....armed guards everywhere....was crazy! Sorry....coming back to the original story...do the check and one of there dudes points me in the direction of another guy who was a huge Packers fan....I had my GB hat on! So we had a good bs about that and off to the hangar i go. Wow...what a collection...They had the first aircraft to break the speed of sound, the fastest airplane ever, some cool German WW2 stuff.....i wont geek out too much on here but some really neat stuff....Spent the whole day there, and was going to drive and bypass all of the Philly and NYC traffic....I had called Scott and told him of the plan...him and Jason were looking fwd to seeing me..as i was them. I got Caught in a huge traffic jam....they were doing construction somewhere around Baltimore....3 lanes of interstate down to 1...that set me back more than an hour :(....Time to find a Starbucks and coffee up.
I got a fb msg from Marissa.....saying that she had tomorrow of and i should come out and see her. Sounds good.....she was working initially at the time i was going to pass thru but ended up getting the time off. Sweet! Got ahold of S and J let them know bout the change of plans and away we go. I was going to push for Marissa's place but came up about 2 hrs short...i started seeing stuff while i was driving...and that's my cutoff point....found a service plaza and a dark spot and hopped in the back of the van for a 4 hrs snooze.
Good morning...from where ever that was....lol.....started the remaining 2 hr drive....got lucky and missed all of the rush hour traffic! Met up with Ris, had a coffee and then went to go and get breaky....along the way we decided it would be a better idea to get NY bagels! Did that... and headed downtown. I can proudly say i have driven, and the Delica has been in downtown NYC! Parked the van and started to ramble!
Made our way to Central park where we got some hot nuts......haha!...hot nuts!...and wondered around there for a while...then down to...shit...everywhere....5th ave, past stores i cant even go into...Louis is Louis........haha! (inside joke) Tiffany's...and a bunch of other places i cant afford! Went past times square, found a good deli, had a sandwich, went to timmys in Times square...lol and then we got canolies......my heart is slowing down as i type....then we headed for the van and out of the downtown area before traffic turned into a monster.
Got back to her place and hungout for a while and then i headed for Boston. More traffic along the way...north of NYC and south of Hartford....but made it here with no problems.
So I'm in the updating process right now, uploading a good amount of pics....sitting here with Jason who is studying....Scott is working today and tomorrow....had a shower last night and slept like a log in a nice comfy bed. Once I'm all done....think I'm gonna suit up and go for a run and see if i can sweat this cold out...the cold is winning battles...but i will win the war.
I have made the decision to skip NFLD...i just don't have the time...as it stands now, getting back in time for the party in Calgary and having time to unpack, laundry, clean the van, do some maint, repack and head for ctown from Ktown...gonna be tight. I am still making stops in Halifax, MTL, and the Tdot....and if i have time...id like to do an AB swing, say hi to some friends...dump off some resumes...then go back thru Williams lake and say hi to all my friends there....all.....3 or 4 of them lol!....
Im gonna hang out in Boston for a few days for sure, try and kick this cold, enjoy the sights, a bed, a shower......and i guess the company of Scott and Jason ;)
So there is the update for now....Gonna finish uploading some pics, and go for a run.
Hope everyone is doing well...
