Hey Brokies!
This is your long lost friend Keren! Sorry I've been away so long. Big life changes have been consuming. I accepted a new job in Boston, gave notice at work, and have been preparing for my big move. And my road trip! My friend and I are driving from San Diego to Boston. I'd love to meet some brokies en route! Many of you have had the chance to meet, and I was happy for you, and wished I, too, could meet some of my web friends and fellow brokies. Here's a great opportunity to do that! I'm posting my itinerary. Some things may change, but this is a good rough estimate of our tour stops.
If any of you live in any of the areas I'll be visiting, let me know! I'd love to meet up at the local diner/cafe/what have you for breakfast/lunch/dinner depending on when we pass through town. If you can offer us a place to spend the night, that'd be stellar.
8/12 drive through Vegas, maybe stop for lunch and a look around, drive on toward Bryce Canyon in Utah, spend the night in Panuitch.
8/13 Bryce Canyon, then drive part way to Salt Lake City.
8/14 drive the rest of the way to Salt Lake, have a look around, then head up into southern Wyoming (!!! pilgrimmage!), try to see Flaming Gorge
8/15 Drive and explore in Wyoming. Maybe start driving to Iowa City.
8/16 Continue on to Iowa City, where we'll stay with my road buddy's friend. May drive through Nebraska and stop for lunch somewhere. If you live in Nebraska, and the geography works out, maybe we can meet for lunch?
8/17 Drive to Chicago. Play. Celeste, I'd love to meet you! I know there's a few of you who live in Chicago, sorry I don't recall which brokies call that city home. But let me know. We may drive to Indianna that night and spend the night with my friends' parents, or we may stay the night in Chicago.
8/18 Drive to Niagra Falls, or Toronto, but probablt the Falls. Spend the night.
8/19 Explore the Falls for a few hours, then drive to Rochester, to visit some friends of mine. Then drive part of the way to Boston.
8/20 Continue on to Boston.
If you live in any of the places above, and would like to meet up, let me know! PM me is the best way to reach me. I'm strapped for time, so PM me and I'll see it when I check my email.
I send love and healing to Chris, who I heard from Jenny has been through medical hell. And to Philip and his family, who I understand have been through some hell of their own.
Continued healing wishes going out to John. And a big fat thank you to Jenny for keeping me informed.
Keren
