Default I'll be driving across the country over the next week

I leave this afternoon for Cali and from there I'll be driving with my sister and brother in law all the way to New Jersey where they are moving to. Why we driving you ask, becasuse they have two large huskies and one korian Jundo and they don't want to fly them over so they have a moving company taking their car and everythign else over for them so at least the drive won't be in a U-Haul.

I expect to get in NJ on next Thursday so I'll have friday and some of Saturday to spend in the city. Below is my itenerary for where I'll be for what days in case I might be able to catch a Scion meet along the way or something. If you need to get ahold of me I'll be able to be reached on my cell at 480-221-1772 and hopefully will have online access at the hotels we stay at everynight. I'll see everybody when I get back. OH YEAH........................i forgot to mention that my car is in the shop right now so when I get back I WILL HAVE BASS FINALLY!!!

nice! im from jersey. why is your sister moving there and where at in nj is she moving? definitely hit up a boardwalk at the jersey shore while you are there!! not sure where in nj you will be but seaside heights and point pleasant are nice beaches. they are about an hour south of elizabeth if thats where you will be. you might even be able to get some good pictures too. have fun and drive safe.

thanks for the heads up, that boardwalk looks awesome. I think they are moving to Elizabeth town so thats where we should be. My sister and her husband are moving there because he got a job offer at CRUNCH gyms as the CFO of IT so they coudn't pass that up.

I'll for sure be posting pics, i finally got a charger for my camera so now I can start taking pics again.

I am taking plenty of pictures so don't worry about that keoki, I'm having a blast. Last night there was a party going on in the room next to me at 2:30 in the morning when i was going to go to sleep so i knocked on the door to ask if they could keep it down and some german dude answered drunk and invited be in for a beer so i crashed their party. Supposedly thte german guy was a movie producer and they were down here making a movie with one of the most famous guys in China who was chilling in the room so i got a pic with him and the german dude which I will post when I get back.

i still don't know if it was true or not but there were many people in there getting drunk and talking about the movie, supposedly it's going to have Meryl Styreep and Val Kilmer in it as well. How a popular chinese actor got teamed up with them I don't know. He said it was too bad i wasn't here two weeks ago when Meryl was here, and I so wanted to meet Meryl Streep

im thinking that since we only have a 4.5 hour drive wed that we should get in pretty early, if you can PM me your contact number for the evening I will give you a call when I get in. Thank you for the offer
