Packing and Waiting

I have 3 days left - and I have pretty much packed everything. Now all I have to do is sit around and wait.... wait for it... oh yeah, and pretend to work. I think I have everything planned out. I bought about a million dollars worth of crap for the trip and have a case full of candy, chocolate and marshmallows (your basic needs, of course). All I need now is to buy some final stuff at the grocery store and shove it all into my car!!! So. Here I am. Waiting...

My New England Adventure

So its been about 400 years since I last posted anything on my blog. But since I'm going to be going on a long (for me) road trip and I bought a teeny tiny computer to bring along with me - I thought I could use this forum to post some pics and let family and friends know I'm still alive (going by myself).

Me and Oreo (my dog) are going to take a 2 week (17 days) vacation up north and see as much as we can see across atleast 5 states (we are going to stay in 5 states but drive through more). The trip doesn't start for 11 more days - but I'm getting so excited I can barely stand it. I've worked up an itinerary and have already started to pack (dork). Here is the plan:

Day 1 Leave after work and drive up to VA near Wythesville.
Day 2 Wythesville to Harrisburg, PA (stay in a hotel)
Day 3 PA to the Catskills!! Camp for 2 nights!!
Day 5 Catskills to Adirondacks (camp) - hike and paddle with O
Day 7 Adirondacks to Vermont (camp) - Green Mountains
Day 8 Vermont to New Hampshire (camp 2 nights) in White Mountains
Day 10 NH to Acadia NP for 3 nights of camping (biking, hiking, boating)
Day 12 Acadia to Portland Maine (hotel 2 nights)
Day 14 Portland to Hagerstown, MD (hotel)
Day 15 MD to Blue Ridge Parkway (camp 2 nights along parkway)

Whoo hoo! I'm so excited!! More to come!!
