  • It is really cold on the east coast
    • ]]>     This past Saturday, Tanya and I went to visit Luray Caverns. Ever since I’ve been in DC, I’ve wanted to visit the Caverns, but just hadn’t made it out there. Definitely glad we did, as it was a pretty cool experience.

    Luray Caverns is the largest underground cave on the east coast — with the typical rock formations growing from the ceiling and floor. Enough words — go watch the video!

    • ]]>     My third day on the road… Started in Amarillo, TX.. a pretty civilized city, although there was the fragrant smell of animal poop in the air :) . Stopped at the best freewat rest stop ever in Texas — they even have Wi-fi at the rest stop! Now we can all use the toilet, and browse the net at the same time… all the comforts of home.

    For dinner I stopped in Oklahoma for some BBQ at Wild Horse Mountain BBQ — mmmm.

    • ]]>     Day #2 on my cross country drive.  Starting off in Flagstaff Arizona — unlike Phoenix, where it was 115 degrees and my shoes were melting, Flagstaff has pine trees and was only 80 degrees.  I almost got eaten by dinosaurs, and chowed on some great Tex-Mex in Albequerque.

    • ]]>     Earlier this month I packed up all my stuff in my car, and like a travelling nomad took the journey across this great country of ours.  I drove from San Diego, CA to Washington DC in 5 days — all with only 1 speeding ticket.

    Day #1 is San Diego, CA to Flagstaff, AZ.
