Tomorrow morning I leave on a cross-country road trip that lasts from September 9th to September 19th, at which point I move into my apartment in Palo Alto, CA. The trip covers more than four thousand miles and covers a great deal of beautiful territory, including the Rockies, the Oregon Trail through Idaho, and the Pacific coast. After picking up Colin in Philly, we make overnight stops in: Meadville, PA (staying with Jamie); Chicago, IL (staying with Carl); Omaha, NE (staying with Melissa); Salt Lake City, UT; Boise, ID; Seattle, WA; somewhere in southern Oregon (possibly Medford); and finally a couple of nights outside of San Francisco, CA (staying with my aunt and uncle).

My time as a student at MIT is officially over, and my journey at Stanford is about to begin. My time in the most expensive city has concluded, and my period living near the third most expensive city is commencing. My days living in the Northeast are past, and my life on the California coast will soon get underway. My synonyms for “time” and “begin” are becoming strained, but my parallel sentence structures have only just gotten warmed up.

I will endeavor to make updates at various points on the trip. There’ll be pictures, of course.

So long, New England. California, here I come.
