Step out with your right foot

My dad always said that when we moved as kids. It was his way of making sure we made the best of the move and sealed the fate of "starting off on the right foot". Moving is always the same, the packing, cleaning, organizing, throwing away, finding those nostalgic items in the deep recesses of your room. But, for all the times that I have moved, this one is different. A fivel-esque journey out west (for those who have not seen Fivel goes west, id suggest starting with the original Fivel an American Tale). With Fivel in mind, i figured it was best to bust out the blog again. The idea of streets paved with cheese always gets me hungry for typing.

Highlights of the upcoming trip are my beautiful travel partner Helen, Mariana,Florida (kayaking), New Orleans(Doug, booze, Cafe du Monde, french creole gibberish, gumbo!!) , Texas??(i guess a lone star is a little interesting, BBQ, 1,000,000 points for Bush on road kill bingo!), Carlsbad Caverns New Mexico (down and dirty, check it out if you don't know what it is Carlsbad), Roswell New Mexico (I'm bringing my silver bullets, garlic, and camera...), Gila National Forest, and on to Tempe, AZ. No housing set up yet, but ikea should make that an easy, meatball filled, experience to furnish.

The journey starts next week officially, but the kick off party is this weekend courtesy of NASA and the space shuttle Endeavor. Thanks to all the NASA engineers for fixing that leak for me so we can blast some folks off to space after two failed 5 hour round trip excursions to Kennedy Space Center to see the launch. Finally should have some pictures and video this weekend. For now its on to more packing an deep recess scouring.

You can subscribe to this if you like, Im going to do my best to update it as we journey.
