GPS

Last July, I went to New Zealand. Last July, I planned to keep a blog. Trip is over..and as you can see...did not write a thing. Loved it stayed in Napier most of the time and travelled through North Island and South Island. Arrived back to the states at the end of February. I have been in Atlanta since then. I have taken several trips. One disastorous trip to Vail, a fun train trip to New Orleans (until I ended up with food poisoning), and a fabulous tour of Cali from San Diego to Napa Valley to San Francisco then down to LA to visit one of my closest friends and her new baby. I have been up to Lake Rabun once and went to Macon to pick strawberries. Needless to say, I have been keeping busy with lots of mini vacays..And I have been getting bored with times spent trying to figure out what is next!

When I arrived back in Atlanta, I spent a lot of time with my neice and nephews. I looked through their school work on the bulleton board and spent loads of time talking to my Caroline. A lot of the kids had to fill out...how old is mommy, what does mommy do, what is mommy's favorite food...etc.. and I got a good laugh out of that. I wanted to see what a 5 year old thought about me, so I asked her the questions so I could see how she perceives me. I can't remember the answers to any of them but one. And that was when I decided I need to get out of here. When I asked her "what do I do" -she answered - sit in your room. OH GOODNESS...I am 35 years old, living in my old bedroom at my parent's house and unemployed...Not a way I want to be thought of.

So needless to say....I am leaving tomorrow. I could not decide between bus, (ok..ok...ok...but for $550 (or something like that) you can get a pass for 60 days of travel. Not too bad) plane or car. I opted to jump in the car and decide along the way where my journey will take me. 1st stop Birmingham to visit an old dear friend for a few hours then hop back in the car and continue on to Vail. Not sure if I am going through TX or travel North through MO. Both options are fun...could stop in and visit a friend in MO or stop by Cadillac Ranch and see if I can find my signature on the cadillac I signed in '99 and then visited again '00. It is probably gone by now. My mom wants me to take a GPS so I don't get lost. She just went to the store to buy me one. But I don't even know where I am going...so what good is a GPS at this moment? Oh well, first stop is b'ham. Then maybe I will figure out the next one.

Hopefully, I will be better updating this blog on this trip. Because did not even get started on last one...Off for a good night sleep before I start on this journey to I don't know where....
