Above: All the junk I ended up carrying back with me in my back seat and trunk. Next time I'll know better. |
It felt a little strange driving those last hundred miles to get home. It had been 3 months since I'd seen or talked in person to anyone I know. I couldn't wait to get home, but I was a little sad that the trip was coming to an end. |
Remember crossing the border into Massachusetts thinking, "It won't be long now. Cant' wait to see everyone!" |
I learned a lot during the trip--things I should do, and things I should not do. What to bring, what to leave behind. At the time, when I first got home, I didn't think I'd ever want to go on another road trip. I thought my curiosity and sense of adventure had been satisfied for life. I had done my dream--driven alone across the US (and further). I had seen SO MUCH! Had experienced every emotion imaginable--happiness, awe, elation, surprise, fear, sadness, homesickness--in varing degrees, and at various times. It was a roller coaster of emotions--a roller coaster that I enjoyed riding. Well, while I was writing this web site, I relived every moment of the trip. And it made me want more! Yep, I had to go again. And I did--one year later. This time I left during the summer--August 1st. through October 1st. I had planned to travel longer, but after what happened on September 11th., I began to feel like I should go home. Who knew what might happen next. I felt I should be home with my family and friends. So I cut the trip short--this time. I'm planning on going again! I don't know when yet. But I'm going. Maybe all the way across Canada next time. |
Now that I have finally re-written this web site after the last one accidentally got deleted last fall, I'm going to now include the second road trip. This will take awhile--took over 1,000 pictures on my son's digital camera. Plus a few snapshots from my little old camera--just in case something happened to the fancy digital one. I didn't know how to use it very well, and I was afraid that I might accidently push the "delete" and erase all my 500-800 pictures! |
Hopefully, before I leave for my next trip, I'll learn how to use the camera better. Well, that's it! I've finally finished my web site! |
