National Road Trip

This trip started off kinda rough. I had a midnight Jet Blue flight. Normally, I love Jet Blue. In fact, I don't mind paying a little bit more for a straight flight with them. Some how on this trip, I was lucky enough to get a middle seat. It wasn't so bad. I had plenty of leg room and 30 some channels on direct TV to keep me entertained. Unfortunately it was midnight and all the good channels switched to infomercials.

***RANDOM MUSING***

Speaking of which, what happen to the good ole infomercials? Where at the end you were looking for your credit card to pay 8 easy installments of 49.99, because if you paid then, you got two for the price of one. They made you believe you needed them. Like the food dehydrator that took 4 days to make anything. We all wanted some beef jerky!!


I even bought the little click lights so that I don't stub my toes in the middle of the night. Even though I never get up in the middle of the night. But after I had those, if I wanted to, I could.


And that was the beauty of infomercials. Now all you can think about is how cheesy the acting is. They should leave the cheesy acting to the audience. Granted the Sham-Wow infomercial is pretty sweet.



But I digress. There was nothing to watch and for some reason, I could not get comfortable to save my life. All of that to say, the flight, aside from the cashews, was not very enjoyable. Holding on to the tail end of a cold didn't help much either.

I got in to Boston a little after 7 and upon arriving to Eric's there was still quite a bit of packing and cleaning to do.


Here, Eric is sorting through the rats nest of cables that made up the infrastructure to his super lair. But after some good effort and a few naps, by Sunday morning-ish (noon) we were all packed and ready to go.

Now I sit here waiting for Eric to say his last few goodbyes and we'll be hitting the road. The plan is to drive straight through to Chicago, IL and be there by 10am. I hear there's a storm going on there right now, so that should be fun.
