Made it safe all the way after three days and 2000 miles of driving! I took some photos for you along the way to show how dull and boring the drive was all alone! I posted them on my flickr-

Hopefully I'll have some company for the drive back in six months!

:-) Hey middenettes, no not famous here in the states yet (but inching closer). 30 is turning out to be as silly as all the years previous.

And Kate a school teacher? I shudder... ;-) I'm sure you're fantastic, though I'm keeping an ear out for the next tunes too!

luv 2 all! Peter.

1500 miles down and only 470 or so left! I'm in South Bend, Indiana and one day of driving left.
The last two days have been a blur of corn fields, big storms and humidity! The tornado warning siren went off last night when I was staying in Kearney Nebraska!

I think the I-80 goes from San Fran all the way to NYC! Luckily for me it passes through SLC and takes me all the way to PA! Should be pretty miserable. I'll take three days to do it then have a day off before starting work there.
I'll miss Utah but will be happy to escape the Morms!
