Into the east…

I got to pack the BIG bag. Not the little carry-on, but the big-ass BIG bag. You see, that’s the great thing about traveling by car. I could load the big bag with half my closet, the hair dryer, curling iron and the full-sized containers of shampoo and cream rinse.

Full tilt!!

First, before I enter into a full on rant – let me thank all you well wishers for the support and congrats. Whew! Glad the cat finally got out of that bag and I so very much appreciate the support!
