Tomorrow we’ll start road-trippin’ it for real.  We plan on driving straight through from here (Los Angeles) to Abilene.  It should take about 30 hours but with four drivers it won’t be too bad.  We’ll spend one night in Abilene with some family friends and then head out to Louisiana.  Four nights there, two nights with my uncle in Texas (whom I haven’t seen in probably about four years), two nights in the Fort Worth area, two nights back in Abilene and home again, home again.  It sounds so easy like that but it’s going to be tiring.  But I’m really excited about seeing friends and family that I haven’t seen in at least two years.  Yay for road-trips!!
