Road Trip to SoCal!

[Glenn B]

I have a lawyers/doctor appointment in the morning. Directly after that, Sheila and I are headed out on a road trip.

First stop, and overnight at my friend J's place in Arizona.

Next morning, depart for Las Vegas to pick up my cousin. Then head for the Mojave Desert. Attend a Celebration of Life for my Grandmother on Saturday at the VFW. Sunday hang around with family.

Monday, head to Bakersfield to have lunch with Richard. Then head to Santa Monica as a surprise/treat for my wife. She misses the ocean.

Tuesday, we head home. Probably one leg, as she has to work Wed afternoon.
Looking forward to it.

You're gonna be going right through town right by me. Exit Ford St about two miles before you hit the I10/I210 interchange.

Sorry, I'd love to, but I can't meet you this time at In-N-Out. Have one for me while you're there, please.

Going right by my place too, 210 just a couple miles west of 15.

Enjoy the trip. Funny, I just did a road trip to Albequerque last weekend, played in the snow at Sandia Peak.

If you end up with free time and want to brave downtown during the week I can get you a building systems tour of our high rise towers there.

Fantastic road trip. Was great to see so much of the family at my grandmothers memorial in Apple Valley. Enjoyed it very much. During this trip we visited friends in Arizona (two different parts, one coming, one going), the American Legion in Peeples Valley, Las Vegas to pick up my cousin, the Hesperia VFW, Bakersfield to have lunch with a friend, Ventura for a hotel on the ocean, then down Highway 1 to the Santa Monica Pier, then back towards home.
The Honda did great on gas, but had lots of power for passing when needed.

California drivers suck! Smokes are quite cheap there though. Gas was a bit high, but not like all the horror stories you hear.
Glad to be home, and our dogs seems to have missed us.

I used to think that until I drove in Boston an NYC. :scared:

Our gas has been low lately, I'm sure the'll get back to screwing us shortly.

NYC is easy, you just have to go in knowing they are crazy drivers. California is a bunch of pretentious idiots swerving in and out wherever their car might fit.

That's the West side. I don't like driving on the west side.

In NYC I just drove the rental car like I was on my motorcycle. Everybody is out to kill me so I gotta drive super agressively.

Were you splitting lanes in a rental car?

You answered your own question.
