After quitting my job in Connecticut, the time has come to hit the road. Today I am packing up and leaving a semi-settled and comfortable life for a slice of the unknown, and I cant wait! Hubby is already off hiking in the Californian wilderness but my start to the trip will be a little less adventurous. The first destination of my 6-month adventure will be in Pennsylvania to visit family for a few days. Most of the trip will be done by car, so I began packing our Subaru with all the essentials including the tent, Miles (our trusty GPS) and vegemite until it was bursting at the joins. It was a strange feeling looking my life packed into a car. I hope it doesn’t get stolen!
The relatively short trip from CT to PA went extremely smoothly, especially considering my lack of any ounce of navigational skill. Yes, I can get lost even with a GPS! I didn’t eat anything near tasty on the way as my only stop was the Vince Lombardi rest stop with very little to choose from. I did have an interesting conversation with a fellow rest stopper. Her simple question of “what do you do?” stumped me for a second or two. Instead of blurting out the usual story about science and viruses, I paused, smiled, and said that I travel. Yep, that is my profession now.
