I'm all ready for a road trip, I just put a few thou on my debit card, and stuffed a bunch of cash into my wallet. My bills are paid, my trucks in good shape and I have enough clean clothes to last awhile.

I even have a plan. Drive the six hour run to Asheville, NC and have lunch at Chai Pani, an Indian place voted the best restaurant in America a while ago.

Then continue over to Myrtle Beach, SC on the Atlantic ocean, and then head South and follow the coast through Georgia, and all along the Atlantic, and Gulf Of Mexicao Florida coastlines. Then head North to home at Pensacola.

It's a very ambitious road trip, one I've been thinking about for a long time.

But I have a problem. I've been solo tripping for decades now, always wanted to address the adventures and challenges alone. I left Steph behind, on a couple I could have included her on, and I've felt bad about that.

I'm really at the point where I don't want to travel alone anymore. So I asked her yesterday if she wanted to go on this one, and she turned me down. How ironic! Hey, she has a lot of stuff going on with her family back in Washington, so any time off would be dedicated to that. I get it.

So what to do? I haven't figured it out yet...
