Day 1 got off to a late start but I still managed to go about 450 miles and reach Pittsburgh, PA. I had planned on leaving very early on day 1 but I overslept and also I had trouble fitting everything into the car. What I really wanted to do was have all the electronics kept in the trunk where you wouldn’t be able to see them. This was a big challenge but I managed to fit everything in finally. The 1st day took me into CT, NY, NJ and also PA. PA was a very long and boring drive.

The countdown has almost hit the end. In about 12 hours I will start my journey cross country to the land they call Tempe, Arizona. The drive is a very long one. I should know, I’ve done the cross country thing 2 times already. The first 2 times I did the trip I had someone else in the car though. For this trip however I am going totally solo.
The trip from Connecticut to Arizona is around 2550 miles long. A few of the key places I will be passing through are Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Tulsa, Amarillo, and also Albuquerque. For this drive I plan on stopping a lot. Not to sleep but to browse around a few towns and of course there are those great roadside attractions in the middle of the country that are always interesting. One thing I will defiantly be doing is taking a lot of video. I’m going to try and capture as much of the trip as possible. During the night when I am at motels I will also try to broadcast with my webcam on Justin.tv. Of course I can’t promise that I will be able to broadcast. It all depends on if the motel/hotel has wifi. All together it should be a fun trip and I hope to share as much of it with all of you. Car is gassed up and ready to go! So lets go!

So the clock is ticking on my time left here in Connecticut. I’m working hard to get everything set out in Arizona. Got a job all setup to go to which I will be starting on the 22nd of October. The apartment search is still going on. My roommate and I are still in negotiations over which apartment to get. I will admit it, I am a cheap bastard and don’t want to spend lots of money on a place where I’m just going to sleep really. The problem is that he will have his parents supporting him somewhat so he has extra money to spend. I do not have this extra money to spend plus I do not want to put all my money into the rent. I would like to save some money if I could. Maybe even go back to college while I am out there.
One thing I am still debating with myself is whether or not to bring someone with me for the cross country drive. In the past it has been nice. I have done the cross country trip two times so far. For both trips I did all the driving. Something I’m looking forward to is having the chance to maybe video log most of my trip. Maybe even stop at one or two of the weird roadside attractions along the way. When I have the chance to find a wifi hotspot I will gladly jump online and broadcast on my JTV channel. Stay tuned to the blog for more information about my trip back to Arizona.
