Despite my blog title starting with 'adventures,' I've been thinking lately that I rarely write about... adventures. It's more my soapbox to discuss politics, ideas, and criticize people for not doing things my way (yeah, I can admit that. It's not easy always being right. I think I get it from my mom).
So, in anticipating of my big road trip home (you know, the one where I quit my job and decided to drive across the country to move back into my parents' house, unemployed and not sure what I want to do next) I've decided that I should obviously blog about it.
The goal: an extended roadtrip on the cheap - consistently documented in my blog (as you may know, I have issues with writing consistently...). While I COULD do the 42 hour drive in 4 10.5-hour days of driving (or 3 14-hour days, or 5 8.4-hour days), the obvious choice is to extend my "vacation" as long as possible and delay the realities of unemployment, extending my drive into a 2 week long extravaganza in which I explore hidden middle USA hippie towns and forage for vegan food at gas stations.
Because I want to be a role model for the kids, I will document everything - how to fundraise for a roadtrip you can't afford, how to survive cheaply, and um...any sort of adventures I can scrounge up along the way. It has just occurred to me I'm not actually very adventures. But I'm gonna give it a try. Please read my blog. I'm one week and 3 days away from unemployment, and it'll help my self-esteem to hear your validating comments (even if you don't mean them).
Love,
Stephanie
