7 days, 6 states

I made it to Illinois. During the car ride, I figured out that I occupied space in 6 different states in 7 days, weird what one will think of with some 19 hours of driving. So, I left Hawaii last Tuesday, flew to Oregon (Wensday), then Colorado, left Colorado on Sunday, and drove through Kansas, Misouri, and got to Illinois on Monday night.

It was fairly uneventful travel, my plane to Denver was canceled due to a lighting strike, so I ended up spending 6 hours in the Portland airport. All the packing went well, pretty much everything I wanted fit into the car. I did run into a hitch crossing the Mississippi River on Monday night, the bridge I wanted to cross was closed due to flooding, so I had to drive 30 miles north to one that was open.

So, I've been settling in a bit, looking in the paper for jobs and rooms for rent... ahhh... soo much fun... I am glad to be back, mainly because everything is so reasonable here... food... housing... etc, today I found a pretty decent sewing table for $10, it even fit in my car.

Well, enough babble... time for wine!
