Little roadtrip we have cooking.

Here is a professionally-rendered map of our impending roadtrip around the North East. All in the span of one week (Oct 25 to Nov 1), we'll be traveling to Baltimore; Washington D.C.; State College, PA (home of the Nittany Mountain Lions); Stroudsburg, PA; and Durham, NH. We will be couriered by the cushy, classy, aromatic Greyhound (for the sophisticated vagabond gypsy), and we will be accompanied by Sam's best mate & best-man-to-be Chris Gawn (he's single, ladies, enjoys good conversation and films, and will soon be a practicing lawyer in Manchester!).

Basically, we're visiting various friends of Sam's at each stop, excepting State College where we will be visiting hopefully future friends. I'm really looking forward to it! State College especially looks to be goodtimes as, a) it has the potential to be Sam's & my home at some point if he gets accepted to its PhD program, b) we're meeting up with the PSU RUF for their large group meeting & the campus minister we have communicated with sounds really great (as is the usual case with RUF ministers), and c) its homecoming weekend v. Purdue, so little State College will swell to overflowing like a chubby kid locked in a sweetie shop!

After we leave Durham at the end, he and I then fly to Atlanta where Sam is delivering a history paper at the Southern Historical Association annual conference. Maybe not quite as riveting as a Greyhound roadtrip, but honestly I'm really looking forward to seeing him in action! And seeing him be all history- nerdy around his history friends & professors.
