Joliet, Illinois
Trip's gone well so far. We left Sunday morning after a slight delay to watch the men's final of the French Open. Made it to Omaha late that night, then spent Monday touring that historic land (i.e., that's where I started elementary school and later graduated form high school). Monday night was spent with Pete, my best friend from high school whom Adrian had not yet met.
Some interesting things came out of the Omaha trip. More to follow as I mull them over.
Today we left late (well, we went to bed around 1:30am, so it made sense) and drove 7 hours or so to Joliet. The plan is to drive another 7 hours Wednesday to Pittsburgh, then on to DC Thursday morning. With any luck, the moving van will arrive as expected and we can move into the condo Friday.
Actually, with a LOT of luck.
To help us with the trip we bought a pair of 2-way radios. We have call signs, of course...I'm "Mountaineer" and he's "Outrigger." Fans of Alias will appreciate the significance of those code names.
