Sublet Planning

A few days ago I was talking to my friend DJ on the phone who happens to live in No. Cal. I mentioned that I didn't have a super set plan of where I would end up once I drive into Cali. I figured I would try for a September sublet somewhere in between San Diego and LA for the widest range of job prospects. I will then be able to relocate closer to wherever I actually get a job. She went online while I was talking to her to help me figure out how far SD and LA are apart and what was in between. Here is what she came up with. It's looking like Oceanside, Irvine, San Clemente are all possibilities. Any suggestions appreciated!

So that's where California is

Dear Readers,
After consulting Google Maps, it turns out that I will be in my car for at least 36 hours. That's actually less time than I expected, yay. Feel free to make me some Mix CDs. I'm gonna need 'em.

Leaving the 'burgh

In protest of all things MySpace and Facebook (sorry Hil), I have decided to start this blog. I'm no great writer, but what the heck. I'm more hoping to tell stories with pics instead. We'll see how that goes...

I gave my two weeks notice at work Monday and my last day is August 22nd. I plan to start driving west (yes, by myself) starting the 25th. Luckily, I am mostly packed already. Unfortunately, I haven't bothered looking at a map or planning my route yet. (note to self: quit blogging and look at map, are you sure you know where California is?)

I am heading to So Cal for a small job fair in San Diego the first week in September. I plan to look for a job in the SD/LA/So Cal area for all of September. I've never been to So Cal, but it seems to host the industry I am looking to stay in. If that doesn't work out, I plan to head to San Francisco in October and job hunt there.

I am excited to travel!
