Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

This is how I conceptualize the next week of my life:

Step 1

1200 miles, 21 hours, 1 driver

Step 2

6197 miles, 18 hours, Jet lag, Really short connections

Step 3

Make-out with Paul in an airport.  Duration: unknown

Step 4

119 miles, 2.5 hours, Drooling on Paul's shoulder on a train

Let me put this into a better perspective for you.  This is a REALLY long trip.  It's pretty much like doing exactly this:

My trip's grand totals:  7516 miles, 130 degrees of longitude, 40 traveling hours, 3 modes of transportation, 2 hemispheres, 1 super-mushy reunion, and a paaaaartriiiidge in a peaaaaar treeeeeeeeee!

See you on the flip-side: Eastern hemisphere 4evah!
