A few weeks ago, I was originally planning on driving straight up to Oregon on Day 1 of the Road Trip and leaving on Friday July 3rd. However, yesterday I decided to change up the plans after I received an email from a hotel in Reno offering a free stay on Thursday night. For purposes of this Road trip, Reno is conveniently located about two-thirds of the way up to Crater Lake National Park. Spending Thursday Night at Reno, would add an additional day to the road trip, but relieve me of the daunting task of driving twelve hours on Friday. Instead, I’ll be driving 8 hours on Thursday and 4 hours on Friday. Also, I’ll have a free night in a beautiful hotel in Reno (Atlantis) and be able to spend half a day on work-related activities and enjoying the beautiful nature and culture of the Reno-Tahoe area.
Earlier today, I downloaded about 10 interesting Audiobooks from the Los Angeles Public Library Website. These audiobooks will hopefully come in handy on the inevitably long, bland drives I will experience on this Road Trip. Hopefully they’ll help me remain attentive and productive on the rides.
Additionally, I completed my CouchSurfer profile which will make my profile more attractive and reassuring to prospective hosts. My profile can be checked out at https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/joshua.beroukhim
I still haven’t started packing, so I should probably start now and leave tonight for a last-minute grocery store stop. I’m really excited for the many unknowns and looming adventure ahead. It’ll certainly be an incredible experience with many lessons if I approach every day with an open-minded, optimistic mindset.
