Trip Car Mileage: 0 mi
I'm taking a trip. A very long trip.
This summer I'm interning for a photographer and a newspaper in CT. The former is Robert Falcetti, the latter is The Republican American. Because of my schedule and Robert Falcetti's schedule my interniship is of the bite-sized variety and I will only be working for 2.5 weeks.
I am driving to Plantsville, Connecticut in my trusty Honda Accord (19 hrs, 1121 miles) and then driving to Hobe Sound, FL (just north of West Palm Beach, 22 hrs, 1310 miles) to be in my dear friend Bethany Griggs' wedding. And then I am returning home to Jackson, TN (14.5 hrs, 958 miles). I have purchased several books on tape to keep me company and am excited even about the drive, although I may feel differently 2000 miles into the trip or so.
I am, of course, traveling with my camera and I had planned on keeping a photo journal of the trip, but someone suggested that I also blog about it and I rather liked the idea. So here I am, maybe the only person who will ever read these words in cyberspace. I will post regularly and comments will be appreciated.
I leave Saturday morning.
WOW! Sounds so fun and interesting!!!! What a great opportunity! Can't wait to follow along for the ride!
ReplyDeleteThanks LaTrisa! I'll be roadtripping for a month total and I am really excited about it. :) I was glad to see you on here. I've not blogged in a long time.
ReplyDeleteyou need to take a gun
ReplyDeleteI'm not taking a gun because I don't want a post in my blog to have anything to do with me being in jail.
ReplyDeleteBy the way Dave I want to see your head up there under "followers" :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to follow the ride with you! I'm a bit nostalgic at this point in life, and I just had a flashback from when we were approximately 10 years old and planning our lives. You wanted to be a journalist, and I wanted to marry the best looking man in the world. Look at us years later, our dreams are coming true.
ReplyDeleteBethany, I hope all your dreams and more come true now that you have who you want to spend the rest of your days with. I guess I'll have to settle for less than the best looking man in the world now that you've snatched him. Maybe I'll find a fellow gypsey-wanna-be. . .
ReplyDeletePhotoGypsey,
ReplyDeleteYou'd be surprised who will be following your blog..... I'm the "old dude" that always talks photography with you in Best Buy. I think I bought a D-90, G-9 and various other cameras from you. I saw your blog on one of your FB friends pages and linked to it. Hope you don't mind. Please be careful (especially around all those northern "yankees"). Take lots of pictures and best of luck to ya.
