So Ive thru a few states now. Louisiana was amazing. French Quarter was a little city in its own. The food, the people I loved it. Stayed at the koa was nice. Now started route 66 in Tulsa Oklahoma. Got lost a few times. Lol. Staying 2 nights in Oklahoma city. Crappy weather, dont want to drive. Lol

Florida was so nice, felt like going home. The Keys were nice, but unless you have a place to stay it can get nerve wracking..lol. Back in Alabama visiting the g-son. Heading out tomorrow to Mobile, Biloxi, then New Orleans. Its been 3 weeks since I left, but feels like 2 months. Lol

I know theres unemployment, people losing they're homes. But Ive seen some homes that are derelict and its so sad. I would love to hear the stories of these homes and barns..  So sad..

Back in Kissimmee for a bit. Like coming home. Things are so different but the same. Omw back to Alabama tomorrow to see Hunter.

So confused and disappointed in Min. Dont understand whats going on with her.

Think I may come back yo Florida after trip is done. Depends on what I find out there..lol

Alabama

Made it to Alabama. Visiting Hunter. Miss him so much. Beautiful area. Sad to see old lost homes and businesses run down. Wonder what they're stories are. When they were new, just moved in, the hopes. Its sad to see them.. Stayed with Hunter for a few days will be leaving for a few days. Going to Fl. Will be back in a few days for the peanut festival with Hunter.

Ok a little late on blogging. Day 4. So far so good. Went a little over board yesterday with driving. 500 miles. Now theres a rattle in the car when I start it. Hope it lasts a couple of weeks. Lol. Went to Virginia Beach just rode around. Didnt go to planet fitness :(  Went today tho. :)   Feet are swollen, think its the yucky NJ water when I went to AC. Blah. No insurance oh well. Lol. In Myrtle Beach now.

Well leaving tomorrow. Its funny how Im just so excited, not nervous at all. Joined Planet fitness, they have gyms all over. Getting lots of info on places to go, which is cool. Sigh just a waiting game now. Lol

About 2 weeks to go until I leave,  decided to donate most of my stuff.  Some can take comfort and usefulness in the clothes, books, dvds. Feel better doing that..

Started a nee FB page about the little towns I will be visiting.  I'll start with my own soon.

Have to start making a couple of list for things I will need or get for my trip. I cant wait to get on the road, I think that's when I'll stop thinking..lol

So in the theme of New start , New life, I've decided to sell everything. I mean I dont have alot, but why store/lug it around. I think Im going yo be traveling alot, so don't want to just keep things I may sell anyway. And this way other people can enjoy old/New stuff. It's mostly books and dvds but it's something. Lol. Peace

Woke up this morning to a beautiful day. Thinking I will miss the smells and colors of New England..  The crispness in the air, smelling apples and pine in the air. Seeing all the colors as fall comes. The reds, yellows, and brown leaves of the trees.

I cant wait to discover all the smells, and colors on my trip..

Uggg. Do  I really have to keep all this stuff??  Lol. As I pack my dozens of books and dvds, and games Im thinking I dont really NEED this stuff. Wherever I end up, I could always start over. But first I think of the money I spent, and more important the I guess emotional attachment I have to them. I know, I know they are things not people. But the characters in books/movies have been more my friends for years. More so than real people. People don't really understand me. But thoughts/feelings/emotions of characters in books I have had.  I know weird but me. Lol. So I guess I'll get packing, because where ever I end up I'll need my friends. Lol

    Well its the final countdown about a month to go til my job ends. Im getting real excited. Think its about time to. Seasons changing, when I wake up in the morning it's dark. Blah. Lol. I just dont want to wake up in the morning. Lol. Think the hardest part is leaving the goods. I dont see them often but if I wanted to, I could just drive to see them.. Except for my oldest good, he moved to AL. So that will be my official 1st stop..

What a daunting task it is to pack.  You wonder where all this stuff came from, why did you keep it..lol. I have tons of dvds, and book. Now sorting thru them figuring out what I'm going to keep. Sigh. Lol. 

But it is exciting. I've had a few people say that I won't go, but just them saying that and my stubborness kicks in. In all the plans I've tried to make, go straight to Oregon, or south to New Orleans. I think I may just get in the car and drive when its time..

About 2 months to go. Keep zigging and zagging about whitch way to go. I do have some time but not alot..lol. May have to find jobs along the way. Its kinds of exciting not knowing where you'll end up. Scarey to but hey can't let that stop you..lol

Still trying to figure out where to start for packing. Whats going, whats staying..A part of me wants to leave now..lol.

So many things to do.  I really hate moving( my things anyway)  Getting out on the road, now that I cant wait.  So I guess I'll start making lists..

Signs

So about a week ago I found out my site is closing. I think thats my sign that its finally my time to leave.

I never felt that I belong in one place. But I have always been on the East Coast. Well now that I have about 3 months left at my job, thats about to change..lol

I find that now that I made the decision to leave I'm excited, sacred shitless, lol, curious of whats out there .  I dont have alot of money, I do have considerable stuff that I will pack away, some goes, some stays.

So I have some guilt for going, sure but not enough to stay. I am no longer needed where I am. So I'm going to do something for myself that I've wanted to do for a long time.

I'm making that cross country trip to the west coast.
