Hitting the Road . . . sort of

[ellenkushner]

It's actually pretty hilarious how not-really-ready we are to leave for Roanoke tomorrow, considering we've been packing all week!  Something about the "figure out every piece of clothing, paper & lifestyle ornament you'll need for the next 6 weeks" (plus "and write up your syllabus" in Delia's case) plus "and everything you'll wish you'd taken care of before you left NYC . . . "  I did go out to LaGuardia to fetch our rental car (much cheaper if we pick up at airport) - that was Epic.  PLUS, they gave me a BUICK REGAL because it had low mileage for the long rental - what is that, like a 3-tier upgrade?  It has black leather bucket seats.  And NY State plates - I can only imagine the depredations we'll be subjected to as we pass into West Virginia (yes, thank you, LJ friends! we're going to try to overnight in Berkeley Springs - 'cause: 19c SPA!) . . . Will just have to remember to drive the speed limit like crazy.

Adios, amigas!  

I'll be back if I've forgotten something important.  Like my laptop?  It could happen....

Well, have a great time. I'll miss you guys. Even though I never see you. Just the same.
