THE PAST SEVEN DAYS:

One plane flight,

Bunches of friends,

One haircut,

One sweet ride,

A graduation,

A couple happy hours,

Some river floating,

A few tall boys,

One LOST finale,

Hours of truck-packing,

Two hotels, and

Twenty-four hours of Penske driving

Hold on tight while I speed re-cap it for you (you may want to start with Day 1...):

DAY 7: HOME

"Pennsylvania Welcomes You" never felt so good.

DAY 6: FORREST CITY TO WYTHEVILLE

Driving, driving, and more driving.

I made it 10 hours to Wytheville, Virginia where I decided it was time to stop. Wytheville didn't look too desolate and had a bunch of hotels and restaurants. Surely I'd be able to find a vacant room in one of the 8 hotels I had to choose from...

Wrong.

Apparently there's a huge biker rally in Virginia this weekend and Wytheville is the half-way stop that they all migrate to. Every hotel was booked except one where I somehow managed to grab the second to last room they had left. Thanks goodness.

But Wytheville? Really? What are the chances, seriously.

DAY 5: DALLAS AND BEYOND

Driving day 1.

First stop: Dallas to visit Lauren and Lauren (two Lauren's for the price of one? Yes please.)

My goal was to make it to Memphis for the night, but my awake-at-5am-eyes had other plans when they started to close on me just outside of Memphis. So I ended up staying the night for some much needed sleep in Forrest City, Arkansas. 

Never heard of it? Yep, me either.
