I miss everyone!!

I'm not homeless!

I found a great furnished sublet yesterday in Carlsbad, a northern suburb of San Diego! I moved in today and am getting settled. The neighborhood is really nice and quiet. There are tennis courts and a pool as part of the development. There is a ton of shopping and restaurants down the street which of course means Starbucks!. Tomorrow I will be able to start getting ready for the job conference that I am going to Friday. Wish me luck!

ARIZONA

I figured I would do another pic update while I am waiting to hear back on some sublets. Here are some pics from Arizona. I took the one of the cacti and my side mirror during stopped traffic heading towards Phoenix.

Here!

Just wanted to give a quick update. I made it to San Diego!! I briefly saw the Pacific Ocean before finding a hotel for the night. You'll all be excited to know that I found an outlet mall in my first 10 minutes here..with a Startbucks!

I will post more later. yay!

Almost There..

Greetings from some suburban sprawl section of Phoenix! I don't think my route quite makes it through downtown. Any guesses as to how I found a hotel tonight? Yup, Starbucks. There is one of everything on this side of town, so I stopped in and asked where the hotels are in town. It worked like a charm. You can always count on friendly ole baristas. They never let me down. (Yipee!)

I'm almost there! I have about 4-5 hours left to go tomorrow.

State traveled today: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona

NEW MEXICO

New Mexico is so beautiful, especially west of Albuquerque. The towns along the highway looked awful and I would never want to live there, but the scenery was great! At this point in my trip, I finally decided that I could actually stop the car to take pictures. I played it safe and only stopped at rest stops and real exits. I never pulled over on the side of the highway. I would have had way better pictures if I did.

Pictures As Promised

I am finally able to upload my pics! Here are the first two, early Wednesday morning from St. Louis. I pulled over at an exit just outside the city to get a picture of the arc from afar, but by the time I got off the exit the view was blocked by a giant ugly racetrack. Sooo, I had to take these pics while driving (don't worry there was slow traffic). One is through my windshield and one is through an open window, so pardon the blurriness.
