and so it begins

So, it has been a while since my last post but it is here. And by "it" I mean my dream to travel is becoming a reality. This very week my travels across the USA begin. A few months ago I sat confined by the dreary march weather of upstate NY and the fear of accidentally dropping even one precious quarter out of my sparse pocket book. Now, mid June, amidst warm sticky weather and stormy nights I count down to the moment I wave goodbye and pull out of hometown towards opportunity and adventure. For sure I know I will miss my family and it does tug at my heart to leave my sister during her hurried summer wedding preparations but she honestly probably doesn't need one more opinion on wedding invitation styles or seating chart options for the reception. - But kate if you do need anything no matter how small or crazy you had better contact me!
I've almost completed my packing..the whole leaving more than half my wardrobe behind gives me feelings of guilt towards my soon to be packed up and neglected clothing jewelry and purses among many other deemed unnecessary items for the trip. But a girl can only have soo many pairs of shoes when traveling I suppose.
Other than packing and sewing up loose ends on all my affairs I've been diligently researching national parks, historic sites, and museums that we will be visiting. And in case anyone is wondering "we" is defined as John Malcovitch and I. As a duo we have planned this trip for months now. We caught the travel bug.. actaully I'm quite sure I was born with it.. and are now about to fly off to wherever our hearts desire. I have a handful of law schools on my agenda as well as historical destinations that I get excited just thinking about.
It would be pretentious of me to assume an audience to my blog but for those who have taken an interest in my words and soon to be travels I thank you for being apart of my life and hope you find my travel readings worth your while. I can't promise Mark Twain adventure, grammer, or insight but I can promise you my pure words and heart recorded on this page while on the road. Whether it be inspiration, information, or just a laugh every now and then I sincerely hope these words and photos bring a degree of warmth and sunshine to all.
