NEW DEPARTURE DATE! Leaving 4th of July! "INDEPENDENCE" Day!

My new departure date is set! I'm heading out on my life-changing journey across the country on July 4th! So fitting to be leaving on "Independence" Day! Everything happens for a reason. Delaying my trip was necessary to get Blake organized and ready for our trip to LA (for his new power wheelchair), BUT I am so anxious and excited to head out on my adventure I can hardly contain myself. I completely underestimated how much work/time would be involved in making this LA trip happen for Blake. I wouldn't change a thing, but MAN, I can't wait to hit the road!!

There is one good thing about STILL being here... since moving out of the city, I've been "squatting" at my friend Tanya's macdaddy pad in the Financial District. My new residence is located on the complete opposite end of the city from where I moved (UWS), and where I spent the last 5 years! Living down here is like living in a different state! I'm taking subway lines I've never ridden! In some ways, my adventure has already begun!!!

Blake and I return from LA on June 26, which leaves me one week to focus on ME! (organize, pack, see family, etc...)  YAY!!

Here's a tentative list of the states I'll be hitting!

PENNSYLVANIA • OHIO • MICHIGAN • INDIANA • ILLINOIS • IOWA • SOUTH DAKOTA • WYOMING • COLORADO • UTAH • IDAHO • MONTANA • WASHINGTON • OREGON • CALIFORNIA (COAST)
Some of my adventures!
