Leaving Tomorrow

And we're off tomorrow. Weeks of discussions have finally materialized into a semi-structured road trip to the Pacific Coast.

Who am I kidding? All we have is a car, some camping equipment, and a little bit of free will. Our procrastination has dominated the planning aspect of the trip. We're itching to get out of suburban America and head west. We circled all the places we want to go on our big fold-up map of the USA. We'll be in Pittsburgh tomorrow and then head out Friday morning for our first real stop, Chicago, IL.

We'll be staying the weekend at a hostel in Lincoln Park. According to the hostel's website, Lincoln Park is "the best neighborhood if you are looking to party and see what Chicago is really about. You can walk to hundreds of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and music venues. You can also walk to Chicago’s best beach, the lakefront path, or the free lakefront zoo."

For all those degenerate alcoholics who may have stumbled on this post you're probably still stuck on "looking to party" and "hundreds of bars". With the hype and anticipation of the road trip I'm sure we'll be leaving sunday afternoon with quite a few ridiculous stories.

On a final note, I urge all of you to watch the World Cup Finals on Sunday afternoon between Spain and the Netherlands.
