Road Trip the Second?

[bubbles]

Hi All! Remember how I said I really liked working from home? Well, my boss just called and told me to stop working for a week so that he can catch up with everything I've sent him recently. Unpaid time off... yay?

Some of you may remember that I am crazy I took a solo road trip a few years back and visited a few of my f-listers. I am thinking about taking the rest of this week to pick up my car in Florida (yeah, don't ask) and drive it back to Cali. I will either be going through Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, OR Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada. I just wanted to put that out there in case any of you were willing to put up with me put me up for a night on the way? I wouldn't be able to spend a day anywhere but on the road, but we could at least share a meal and chat a bit.

Y/N?

ETA: Heck, if anyone wants to drive with me to/from any point, I can always fly you back... when I tire of you.
:D

ETA the Second: Ok, so this is not happening this week. I'm now looking at making the trip Saturday, November 8th, which would give me an extra couple days' leeway in case I get lost/hit traffic/break down/am abducted by aliens. I would plan on reaching Kansas City by Monday night, Denver by Wednesday night, and Sonoma by Saturday 11/15. Let me know if that works and I'll book a flight!

Oh man, if this works out it will be AWESOME! :D Just let me know how your plans come along and what day you think you'll be coming through. I promise a hot meal, a warm bed and lots of hugging. And probably squeeing. And more hugging. And um... there could even be karaoke! I have several Disney karaoke cd's. mwahahahahahah!

I got the stickers today, thank you! I appreciated all the stickers on the envelope too. You're adorable.

On a totally different note -- Do you know how easy it would be to drive through Denver in mid-November if I need to postpone my trip?

You should be fine to drive through Denver. Although there could be storms. We got stuck in a blizzard driving home from MO after Thanksgiving a few years ago. But it was beautiful driving to MO a few days before. So it could go either way.

Alright, I'm shooting for as early in November as I can manage [see edited post]. I really want to take the northern route if I can swing it!

That works for me! I have a concert in Boulder on Tuesday, 11/11, but if you arrive on Wednesday, 11/12 it should be just fine. And the weather shouldn't give you a problem in early November. Also, from KC I believe you can drive through Nebraska/ Wyoming instead of Kansas. Eeeee~!!!!

How would you feel about pen_of_jen joining us? She has offered herself up as my road trip partner. If three (plus fiance plus furkids) is a crowd, I completely understand.

Are you kidding, Jen is always welcome!! AHEEEEE~!!!!! And the bed in the guestroom is a queen. If you don't mind sharing a bed. :D

Yay!! Sweetness!

P.S. graysong also lives in Denver and I was planning to see her on the way. I don't know if you know her, would like to meet her, or if I should make that a separate thing? Any which way is fine. :D

[myras-girls.livejournal.com]

I'd be up for meeting new friends if it works out. It depends on the schedule.

[bubbles79.livejournal.com]

Graysong is in Denver, and she has to work the next day too, but I would love for us all to get together. :)
Where would we meet?

Are you talking Wednesday night or Thursday morning?

I am planning to go into work a few hours late on Thursday. I was thinking of taking you ladies out to breakfast. What time did you want to hit the road?

If you get in around 8:30p on Wednesday night, that will be pretty late to try to meet up as Denver is about 1 hour drive from Fort Collins. There's not really a good "halfway" spot between along I-25 because most of the towns are farther away from the highway. North Denver (Thornton) is a possibility, although it's still about 50-55 minute drive from FoCo. If you get in earlier in the day I might be up for driving to Denver. Thoughts?

Oh bother. I may have to plan to meet graysong separately, if she's free for lunch on Thursday.
I would love to have breakfast with you! I hope I'm not causing too much trouble, getting you to play hooky and all...
