Welcome to my travel blog.



Day 1: Out of Ohio
Sunday, September 03, 2006


Donnell’s suggestion for this post’s title was “Someone shit on the coats.” It was his favorite comedic line of the day, but only the Dane Cook fans would have caught that so I changed it. We’re more than ½ way through our comedy stash. We’re certain it won’t be needed on most legs, but the drive from Nashville to Memphis really needed it – a lot of it.

I had been looking forward to our arrival at the hotel so I could relax by re-packing my bags. Yes, seriously. I would have found that quite relaxing, and I’m concerned that it hasn’t been done. The bag is not organized up to par and is messing with my serenity. Maybe it’s creating bad car feng shui.

Well, for those of you tuning in for actual vacation news . . .

We left well after dawn. I suspected that would happen. We made some extra stops and took some scenic drives. Most of the day was spent in KY parks. The picture is one of us at Mammoth Cave. We have breezed through Nashville and landed in Memphis. We weren’t sure we’d make it this far and are happy to be settled in.

I’m supposed to have free WIFI here but the network IP address is bunk. This will be posted tomorrow morning hopefully – on our way to Graceland. We’re stopping briefly at the meditation garden & gravesite before hitting our major stop here – Sun Records. Forget Elvis, this is the record company of The Killer too, Jerry Lee Lewis. I’ll leave you with that, and the nagging question – which of us LOVES ole Jerry Lee?


Today's Highlights: Big Bone Lick SP, rural KY, a dog chillin' on a car roof, Mammoth Cave, and the Grand Ole Opry

Happy Labor Day Donnell and Shannon! Hope all your travelling and site seeting is going off well and without a hitch. Kyle, Patty, Mike Uhl, Summer and I are off to see Erica's wedding. We promised her the get away car if she decided to change her mind.

Sounds like you two are having a good old time. Next time Shannon maybe you should hire me to feng shui your baggage. I am asian, and it is in my blood. Kidding!

Well have fun you two!!

I'm not so simply, me. I haven't quite gotten the elevator speech about myself down yet. Some of the most obvious things about me are that I'm a wife, stay-at-home mom of a toddler, entrepreneur, freelance writer, and admirer of all things creative.
