My big move
Warning: This thread has absolutly nothing to do with buddhism!
Well fellas, I am officially a Californian. I made the big trip a couple of weeks ago. We (my ex-girlfriend and I) left pennsylvania on monday morning. Our cross-country route took us west towards pittsburg, then southwest though west virginia down to Lexington, kentucky then down to nashville, tenn then we turned west towards memphis. In memphis we saw graceland (kinda wierd) then we cut across arkansas and through oklahoma. We then crossed the panhandle of texas and went west to santa fe and abluquerque. Then we went to flagstaff and south to phoenix to see one of my cousins (and stay somewhere for free!). Then we headed north and west again to see the grand canyon (awesome, btw). We then saw the hoover dam and spent a night in Vegas. The last day we came across california to our final destination- Santa Barbara! Total mileage: 3579 (We had two cars, so we both drove the whole way)
My new apartment is 9 blocks from the beach and only about a 10 minute bike ride to the engineering buildings at UCSB. In case you don't remember, I am starting as a graduate student in 2 weeks for my PhD in electrical engineering. Its gonna be tough, but I am looking forward to it. I am also loving living here for real. It feels good
Hopefully I will have enough time to keep up with you here and at SM (although here is easier cause I can direct messages easier)

Man, i'm jealous. I want to travel so bad. Every time i travel, I learn more, experience more, and just feel "bigger" inside when I get back. The farthest I've ever gone is northern minnesota (in a car.. In the middle of winter, no less). I fly to Washington DC on business every now and again, but that's not really travelling.
One day...... Road trip...... can't wait...
Congrats, tycho
