I'm getting ready to transfer to San Diego and I'm super excited about that. Ever since I visited Karrie and Kat in 2003 I have wanted to live there! Before all of that can happen I have to go to Oklahoma City, OK for some tower training. All of my Air Traffic experience is in RADAR so even though I took the training in the Air Force I wanted to (and had to) take the FAA's Tower course. Last time I went in 2007 it was only for 1 month so I suffered (yes suffered) without a car. I thought I'd be no problem when I was there last time, you know I'd just catch the bus and rent a car on 2 of the weekends to go and visit my very good friend Cristin in Dallas. Well the public transportation system in Oklahoma isn't as good as it is in other cities. I know I'm spoiled by living in CA where we have things like the BART and buses and the train and stuff. Not that I use them too often but I have, especially when going to San Fran.
On to the drive. So yesterday I left Sacramento at 8AM and arrived in Flagstaff (aprox the half way point) at 10PM. Man was I tired! I'm very glad I felt I could make it to Flagstaff though because now the rest of my drives are going to be much shorter and I won't be travel exhausted when I get to Oklahoma. It was raining Sac when I left and it continued to rain until just after Bakersfield. Once I started heading SE the sky started to clear up and it got much warmer. Everyone had said the drive would be boring because there isn't anything to look at. I guess since I'm from the desert I thought it was very beautiful! the mountains were a very pretty purple color (no not at sunset) and there were lots of different kinds of plateaus and cliffs with lots of different warm colors. I wanted to take some pictures but maybe on the way back. Mike is driving back with me so I'll have him bring the big camera. We are also planning to go to the Grand Canyon so that's another reason to bring it! Oh and the roads in Arizona on Interstate 40 are very rough in a lot of places! Well off to breakfast and onto day two of driving I'm hoping to make it to Amarillo today. (should be no problem).
Originally a blog about my wedding planning, that was 5 years ago. I recently became inspired to start blogging again. I'll see where my adventure takes me.
