So I’m Going On a Trip…

You know it never hits me till the day before.  I’ve gotta pack up all my things, again, then drive to Fredericton, again, then South of the border for 3 months.  I’m not complaining don’t get me wrong!  It’s just surreal; I’ve waited for this for so long and now it is finally happening…

I think some people are wondering, what is the purpose for this trip?  To find yourself?  To explore?  Train?  Well….

First, I want to seek out intriguing places that I would want to come back and possibly live.  Second, there are some side goals that I have.  There are cities like New York, Washington, and Austin (to name a few) that I want to see for my own eyes. 

I want to take in a football game.  Since there is next to no chance that I will see any of the NFL playoffs, I will settle for a high school game.  I want to see if the Americans passion for football is like ours for hockey.

I’ve always wanted to live enxt to a mountain which Tucson will provide.  California, I mean what can I say, were living in the O.C.!!!

Traveling with Chris will also give me a chance to get to know him better.  We both have friends along the way so it will be a good chance to meet new people.

So, as I sit here with all my stuff being packed into bags, I am starting to feel the excitement about whats to come.  No lack of adventure I’m sure.  The only regret is that I have to leave my girlfriend behind in our little apartment while I gallivant all over the map.  I’m going to miss her and maybe even her crazy kitties.

If you want to come visit give me a write.  We are going to be going to the Super Bowl party in Arizona if people need a place to stay.   Next time I write I’ll be on the road….  NYC on Friday!

Happy (days) Trainin!
