I reserved a ticket to Finland for Monday, and we gonna abort our mission - Coast 2 Coast 2009. The States will surely stay as they are, but my father may not.
We are glad that you visited here. Sari will still be around for awhile. Carpe diem!

In the morning I received unfortunate news from home. My father had a stroke and is now hospitalized. At the moment there is not so much I could do to help him. He's stable, but I'll wait for more information. Then we'll see whether we continue this trip or fly home.
Take care!

Thus, I can see my future at least on my behalf. S will have some work to do. So I'll have several opportunities to see Atlanta. That being said recommendations are more than welcome. This morning we ran to the Centennial Olympic Park, Georgia Tech's campus, and then to some convenience store to get fast breakfast.

After sleeping for the last time in our empty flat in sleeping bags, we hit the road at 6:oo am. Already by that time D.C's Beltway was showing its bad tooth, but luckily we were on the breakes only for a short while. Instead of using so familiar I-95, we took I-81 which runs on the west side of the FrauStehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16538063589092458445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051975528958888211.post-33000037631554916542009-11-17T10:30:00.004-05:002009-11-20T16:20:20.684-05:00Pre road trip - a delayed successYesterday we did our pre road trip to Bayonne, NJ and back. Only seven hours, but still an experience. The goal - leaving the black car for shipping - was achieved, but mentally the experience was a mess.

Time really flies when you are having fun. So from this day on my first goal is to alienate myself from work emails. I guess we both deserve some vacation before starting new challenges in Finland. Another question is how relaxing it is going to be - sitting in the car hour after hour and trying to reach all the FrauStehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16538063589092458445noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051975528958888211.post-51068995315881556962009-11-10T11:38:00.007-05:002009-11-20T16:21:03.451-05:00Training runThis is our first post on this blog. The blog is opened for covering our coast to coast journey from MD to OR. It will be our last sneak preview of this huge continent. We are eagerly looking forward to see different places. This far all our visits in places, like Vermont, Flagstaff AZ, Grand Canyon or New Orleans, have been broadening experiences. In addition to some random observations, we willStenoreply@blogger.com0
