Final Countdown
Aside from being GOB's* theme song, it's an appropriate title for our driving adventure to Austin. We are in the final stages of preparation, planning out our schedule and stops. We pushed up our move date by a couple days to give us some time on the road, so we are officially leaving San Francisco on July 30. So far, our trip looks like this:
July 30--Drive from San Francisco to Las Vegas. We'll get in town just in time for a late dinner and a couple hands of blackjack.
July 31--Drive from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. We're planning on leaving Las Vegas pretty late, since we probably will get minimal sleep that night. Hopefully, we'll get to the Grand Canyon in time for dinner, then off to the rim to watch the sunset. We're staying in the park at a lodge.
August 1--Drive from the Grand Canyon to Sedona. We're researching resorts in Sedona, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! We'll probably spend the day at the Grand Canyon, then make the quick drive to Sedona in time for dinner.
Edited to Add: We are now staying at the Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa. One of our friends is the Rooms Manager there and set us up. Thanks! I'll be sure to write a hotel review once we are settled in Austin!
August 2--We'll wake up, relax, and hang out for a while. Maybe we'll take a jeep tour or maybe just get some spa treatments. Who knows, I'm pretty flexible. Then we'll make the drive to Albuquerque. We're going to use this as a home base for 2 nights, going to see a couple of the National Monuments around Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
August 4--Drive from Albuquerque to Abilene. My girlfriend lived in Abilene for a while, so we'll go to a couple places around town. Apparently, there is an amazing BBQ place called Joe Allen's. We're also planning on hitting up the Town Crier, where her family used to go every Sunday.
August 5--Drive from Abilene to Austin, our new home. At this point, our destination is still unknown. Maybe we'll be moving into our new home. Maybe we'll be an extended guest at our friends' house. We'll know after we get back from Austin on July 4.
The drive should be long, but fun. We've got alot of ground to cover, but I think we have a reasonable amount of time to accomplish everything we want to do.
*(From Arrested Development, quite possibly the most intelligent comedy that was ever on television. The show's run was short lived, largely because the average American cannot understand comedy outside of "Roseanne" and "Home Improvement." But I digress)
