Day 4

PCS Reunion
Day 4 brought the most challenges thus far on the trip. I thought that being rested and having my own bed would make for a better driving day but I was mistaken. After only 4 hours in the car, I wanted to be done. I had high hopes for Arizona offering a different landscape, or at least more to see than sprawling desert. I was wrong. I had a rough few hours where I contemplated driving my impala into an abandoned gas station and living out the rest of my days tending to cacti.
Weirdly, Christina Trifero called me the exact moment I was crossing the border into the promise land aka California. Extremely coincidental or fate...you be the judge my loyal followers : )
I arrived physically unscathed to Lonnie's brady bunch-esque pad in Fullerton, but felt a bit mentally weary. I just drove 2 full days in the desert and now I am going to go catch up with my very first boyfriend whom I haven't laid eyes on since the 8th grade! All worries were gone the moment I walked in. "Dude, Rudy f***** Donges!" hahaha We took a very hilarious trip down memory lane, I apparently had blocked off most of my middle school years, obviously due to my hatred for those awkward days. For the first time in years, I was remembering things from PCS and Worcester that I couldn't believe. Lots of fun was had, the biggest beer ever was consumed and the best vintage couch ever was slept upon (might even give my La Quinta stay a run for its money). There are already plans in motion for Lonnie to make a northern trek to visit Trifero and I, it must happen : )

Pics to follow once I can get my laptop online.

Now off for my last full day of driving, luckily it will be along the Pacific Coast Highway and I plan to take my sweet time. I'm off!
