Now that is good news

The verdict is in on Jeremiah: he's roadworthy and ready to start a road trip down the coast! Now that is good news! I've got my out-of-province insurance organized and paid for, and I'm feeling really good about having a car on tour with me for the entire year.

I picked up a thingy to connect my iPod to my car stereo so I can have some on-road entertainment on the way. And I've downloaded another 750 songs in the last couple of days, bringing my catalogue of downloaded songs to over 1500. Am I ready or what?!

Tomorrow I get a crown on a tooth that's bothered me for nearly 4 years. Now that is good news. And Friday morning, I'll be hitting the road on my way to San Diego. I need to stop at US customs in Blaine, Washington to get my US work visa, but then it'll be full steam ahead to Portland, where I'll hang with Blossom on Friday night. Perhaps a couple of cocktails will be in order. Maybe, just maybe.

Following Portland, I've got 4 more days to make my way to San Diego, hitting some hot spots like Big Sur and Santa Barbara for Highway 101 Pacific Ocean photo ops. Ya know, I'm really looking forward to the road trip, particularly because I haven't driven down the California coast since I was 7 years old and on a family vacation to Disneyland. I'd say it's long overdue!

I also picked up a smokin' pair of new boots to take on tour with me. Now that is good news!
