I haven't really had internet access until now, so I haven't been able to update on my trip. I left Seattle yesterday morning, after staying in town for a week thanks to the generous hospitality of
purgatory_138 and
nsobject. I want to thank them both for being such wonderful friends and putting me up on such short notice. We're currently in Fargo, North Dakota and it looks like we'll be heading out of here shortly and heading torwards Madison, Wisconsin and then Minneapolis before reaching Chicago. I don't quite know when I'll have access again to post, so I will make this short and sweet while I wait to reboard.
I'll post when I get home in Ohio, and let you guys know I made it OK. Take care for now!
