Oncoming Odyssey

Although it seems pertinent to avoid writing about our up-coming trip in Odyssey-esque terms, I have to say it is very tempting. If you don’t hear from Amon or me for a week or two, it’s probably due to our long road trip.

As if anyone needed more reason to take a vacation than the beginning of summer, Amon and I decided that the culmination of the Independence day, our anniversary, and my birthday combined with a friend’s wedding was pretty good reason to cast off on our own many Odyssey.

We’ll leave for Michigan and be in Omena by the 4th of July, be on Mackinac Island by the 7th, and in Tobermory Ontario by the 10th. From there we’ll make our way to Indianapolis to see Amon’s mom, and St. Louis to see my family. Finally on the 19th I’ll be in my friend Andrew’s wedding, and the 20th will see us driving all day back from Missouri to Maryland.

I just bought 6 Gigabyte more flash memory for my camera, so hopefully armed with that and some amazing landscape I’ll have a few pictures up on this blog or Flickr along the way.

Any prayers you’d like to send our way for safe travels, cheap gas, and good weather would be much appreciated.

Stay tuned for updates when we have internet access.

Just got back from Philly seeing Patti, and the various sights. I think my favorite part was the food. Marathon Grille was a nicer place, Lemon Grass was the best curry I've ever eaten (and at a Prix Fixe $9.95 for appetizer, soup, and entree very reasonable), and the cheesesteak was decent.
