Road Tripping

My dream, for like a gazillion years now, had been to drive from here to Alaska. I'm kind of sad that John & Debbie are moving to Pennsylvania, cause I always figured I could just drive up there to see them -- that would be my excuse for making the trip, right? But now they're in Pennsylvania, and I'd be driving to Alaska just for the sake of driving to Alaska. And that wouldn't be a terrible thing. I'd just have to do it by myself.

The one time I mentioned driving to Alaska to Mike, his response was, "Yeah, and after we get done doing that, let's go ahead and swim to France." In case you missed it, he wasn't very positive about the idea. At one point in time, I actually had a trip-tik thing planned. I picked out the little towns I would stay in, and I knew how long it would take me to get where.

I just keep thinking how beautiful it would be, driving through the mountains and all the rugged terrain, and there's just not anything up there. No big cities, no people -- just moose. =)

Maybe one day I'll actually get to do it. A girl can dream.
