Buzz Girl Heading Home

Today, I am finally--after more than seven weeks on the road--heading home. It's been an absolutely amazing journey. Along the way I spent time in:
  • New York
  • New Jersey
  • Montreal
  • Quebec City
  • Toronto
  • Vancouver
  • Seattle
  • San Francisco
  • Houston
  • San Antonio
Here are some of my trip details:
  • I traveled by planes, trains, buses, and automobiles.
  • I packed in a single, carry-on suitcase.
  • I did laundry along the way.
  • I kept under my budget.
  • I missed my family and my dog.
  • I took over 1500 pictures.
  • I posted all of them on Flickr.
  • I went east (Quebec City) to west (Vancouver).
  • I went north (Edmonton) to south (San Antonio).
Am I glad I went on this trans-continental journey? Absolutely! Would I do it again? Maybe, someday. Am I ready to move to Seattle and settle down for a while? Definitely.

My life isn't going to be exactly sane for the next few months--then again, when has my life ever been sane? Here's what I have coming up:
  • Head home to the parents' for a few weeks.
  • Pop down to Welasco, Texas, for a school visit.
  • Pop down to Houston for Forgive My Fins signings.
  • Head out to Vegas for the summer with Daisy and the parents.
  • Pop up to Seattle to scout apartments and neighborhoods.
  • Pop over to Nashville for the RWA national conference.
  • Head back to Oklahoma to pack up for the move.
  • Move to (barring an unforeseen apocalypse or change of mind) Seattle.
After that, I think I'll be in one place for a bit. Well, maybe....

Hugs,
TLC

I've been begging The Husband to move to Seattle for years. I'm ready to get out of this Southern heat! Glad you enjoyed your trip. Sounds like you have a lot of awesome memories!

Sounds so exciting...I'm with the others who said they were jealous. And I'm with Bee on saying I wish I were your travel companion...oh next time you should invite me. I can squeeze myself into a small suitcase, just please make sure you give me some air every now and then. ;)
