The Problem: Steph needs a car… For the time being, Steph is living in Maryland… I have a hard time buying a used car remotely. Eastern used cars have a reputation for rust… Californian cars don’t…. We like stick shifts… They can be hard to find… but probably easier here than there…
The Solution: buy a car in California and deliver it to the East (aka Maryland)… (there is one for sale at Google that looks good)
The Other Problem: Maryland is 3000 miles away…
The Other Solution: Make it a vacation, an adventure… a drive, over the New Years day weekend holiday, plus a couple of days… drive from California to Maryland…
The Plan: leave California Wednesday night, 5:00… Drive to Mojave (still California…) next day, to Albuquerque New Mexico… (New Years Eve, stay in the old Pheblo area of town… we are not party people but it is nice to be in a public place) next day, off to Oklahoma City… next day, Memphis Tennessee… (Beale Street, Blues clubs, and Graceland…) Next day, Nashville… (I want to see the Ryman Auditorium and shop at their gift shop…) from Nashville its Roanoke Virginia (or there about)… The next day (Tuesday) we are off to Dulles airport, near Washington DC…. I fly home, Steph continues to California, Maryland…
It’s a southern route… Old Route 66 much of the way… then across the Tennessee and up the Shenandoah Valley.
Let the planning begin
