On the Road Again

I'm addicting to blogging. Hopefully someday people will be addicted to reading my blogs. (Who am I kidding? I definitely have a fan base out there already.)

This is the first of my blog posts for SB2K11 - Nova to NOLA.

Today three friends and I are beginning our road trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. We have Spring Break this week, so we decided, kind of on a whim, to go to New Orleans.


My flight is at 6:20am out of Pittsburgh (I should go to bed); I'm flying to LaGuardia Airport. Erin M is picking me up there at 10:20 am (I have to change planes in Baltimore) and then we're driving to Bridgewater, NJ to pick up Erin D and Kim. After that we're driving through Maryland and down to Blacksburg, VA to stay at Virginia Tech with Erin M's friend Evan. We hope to arrive around 7pm!


Wednesday morning I'm going to make sure we all get up bright and early and leave Blacksburg around 8am. We're going to drive through Tennessee, make a detour to visit Nashville, through Birmingham, Alabama, Mississippi and to New Orleans. Hopefully we'll arrive by 9pm Wednesday night, in time to have some fun!


I've never been to the deep South and I'm really looking forward to it. I hear it's a different world down there, I guess I'll find out. I'll be taking lots of pictures and trying to write as much as possible (or as often as I have internet). 


College road trips are the way to go.
