Fourteen hours to go…Woo Hoo!
May 4th, 2009 by jeffrey
I really don’t know what to say. I’m tense and excited.
It looks like I will have a straight shot from Van Nuys to Charleston, SC tomorrow. Weather willing I will arrive a little after midnight in Charleston.
Getting north may be another story.
I’m busy packing and planning so I’m a little short here.
