So it begins….
I can never sleep the night before anything important, but big trips are especially tough. When I close my eyes my brain is still moving way too fast for sleep. I cleared my mess out of the living room and finished packing the things I’m leaving behind into the attic around three in the morning and made a feeble attempt at sleep but was back at my computer in a few minutes.
My last few trips have been haphazardly documented, and I don’t plan on doing any better here. The plan for wanderingstudy is to have a depository for photos, thoughts and drawings from both Briana and I. The site will start as a road trip and we will see where it goes after that. The same can be said for my life.
Our itinerary is loose, only constrained by its endpoints. Leave Los Angeles(home) on 8.10.09 and arrive in New York by 8.25.09. Briana starts school at Hobart in upstate New York a few days later.
We are armed with inexpensive and unreliable cameras and an ‘87 Volvo wagon to match.
Here comes the day…
Have an awesome time.
I know you will.

Here’s to a safe (enough) and eventful trip that you will continue to document without trying to sound too cool. Love you both and attempt to keep in touch at least a little?
and for good measure: “he’s not african american, he’s tropical. dark but smart.”
Hi you two, hope all is going well so far. Which direction did you head? Since you are out of California no matter which way you went, you should be seeing some beautiful country. Keep us posted. Be safe.
