The CHI to NYC leg of the trip was a success by any measure. There were several positive signs along the way, including a guy with a South Africa hat on the CTA bus we took to pick up the rental car, and the time warp that is Captain Loomis’ restaurant in Clarion, PA (our Chicago address is on Loomis). Really, any road trip that does not involve me getting a speeding ticket is a success.
Indie is thrilled to be out of the car (see below), but still not sure what the heck we’re doing. We should certainly have arrived at Doggie Beach by now…
Tonight, we are holed up in a hotel near JFK for tomorrow’s flight. Next update from Pretoria!
Happy the first leg went so well.
Ryan! You were in NYC and didn’t tell me? I guess I’ll let it go, since you’re moving and all…
I thought about calling you at 4:45 am to see if you’d walk Indie before the flight…no?
