The Game Plan

I'm leaving Colorado tomorrow for the next four months. 2009 has thus far been the Year of the Roadtrip, but now I'm venturing off by means of buses, trains, planes, kayaks, and most importantly, my own two feet. In lieu of a travel blog (I'm unplugging for the majority of this journey), I'm just going to write a tentative itinerary in case my journals meet premature ends.

August 25-Fly to Boise to see Cory. Get to see Ashley, who is also randomly just passing through Idaho the same day as me. Gotta love the AmeriBubble!

August 26-Greyhound to Portland. Staying with Cash Money herself, Amber Cash.

August 29-Bus to Seattle. Possibly seeing Amanda, Ashley, and Danae.

August 31-Start Outward Bound. 11ish days of sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands, 11ish days of mountaineering in the Northern Cascades

September 21-Return from Outward Bound, explore Seattle. Possibly check out Vancouver.

September 24-Fly to NYC

Sept 25-Visit Mirana in Albany

Sept 26-Go to Jones Beach with my mom and possibly Dottie, Adrienne, and Bob

Sept 27-Aunt Karen's Golden Jubilee

Sept 28-Catch a bus to Maine to see Kristina and watch the leaves turn

Sept 30-Down to Boston. Might see Lindsey

Oct 1-Fly to Sioux Falls

Oct 2-Gail and James' wedding

Oct 5-Bus to Madison, WI to see Sam

Oct 8-Somehow get to Michigan. Grand Rapids to see Gerry and/or Detroit to see Nia

Oct 12-Go see Dan in Chicago

Oct 14-Fly to Costa Rica to WWOOF and volunteer with rainforest conservation efforts

Nov 7-Turn 21

December 20-Back to Colorado in time to see Alex and Kalie who are coming for the holidays

I plan to come back older, wiser, tanner, stronger, with longer hair (if I can stand it), and healthier in mind, body, spirit, and soul. And also, I'll be only three states from my goal of 50 by 25. It might be the first long term goal I've followed through on, which is huge for me.
