Back to SoCal

Greetings from SoCal!

I can't believe that my trek is already underway! 6 weeks went by unbelievably  fast, but I am more than a little excited to start this trip. I'm super tired from the last few days, but I want to get this up before I forget/become too lazy.

Wednesday was long and stressful, but well worth it. After working all day, I got to run home to try and power move all of my remaining belongings to several different locations. After breaking a sweat, it was a quick shower then off to dinner with some of my favorite people. Thanks to all those that did make it out! "Sushi, Sake Bombs, and Shenanigans" was certainly a great success seeing as several of us had hangovers today. I must say, there really wasn't a better way to leave SLO then to have an all out dance party at The Library.

So because I was one of those that had a hangover this morning, I managed to miss lunch with Aunt Carol in LA. We did get together for dinner with Dad at Wahoo's though! Lucky for me Dad is the ultimate outdoors man and he had almost everything I needed for my camping trip. This includes: cooking utensils, knives, rescue whistles, first aide gear, and a whole bunch of un-used fishing gear. Anything he didn't have we found at good ol' REI, which seemed to have a 20% increase in pricing in comparison to other sporting stores. Typical LA.

Finally, I made it to Orange County! Mom and the dogs were SUPER excited to see me :) Always nice to feel loved when you get home. After 5 hours of driving, +200 miles, and unloading/organizing some gear, I'm finally ready for bed. Tomorrow includes getting the car tuned up for the drive and random errands to continue the prep work.

Aloha!
