Road Trip! Road Trip! Road Trip!
Yes, it's time to get out there on the highways and byways.
This trip is a spontaneous trip with my old Air Force buddy. He lives in
northern Virginia, just a couple miles from the Pentagon and Washington, DC. He
needs a change of scenery. Likewise, for me, it's time to leave the base camp
in West Virginia.
So, tomorrow morning I'll leave base camp and head to
rendezvous with Dave at his northern Virginia location. As soon as I arrive,
we'll park My McVansion and transfer my travel gear to his mini-van and head
out. We expect to be on the road by 2 PM. And where are we going? South! We're
definitely heading south. We both seem to have focused in on partaking in some
Gullah food and learning more about the Gullahs of the low-country along the
South Carolina and Georgia coast and barrier islands.
We have no specific plan or defined destination. We'll start
off with a short stop in the Norfolk area to hopefully visit with a friend we
haven't seen in a long time. Then it's down to Myrtle Beach. We'll go on to
Charleston and Beaufort, South Carolina with the possibility of reaching
Savannah, Georgia before heading back up to the congested "north."
This is going to be a short trip. We'll probably only be on
the road for about six days this time. My last trip was back in October to
Chicagoland on a revenue generating trip. Some of the revenue from that Chicago
trip will finance this trip. I'm planning to capture lots of photos and some
video. I've been to Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Beaufort and Savannah before, but
I'm hoping to look for new graphic images from this trip, especially since
we'll be focusing on the Gullah culture.
Stay tuned for posts along the way on this trip.
