Displaced Beachbums

We start our journey to New York today and it ends up being the most INDIRECT route possible. I moved a lot when I was young because my father worked in the resort business as did I. I’m used to a lot of moving but we would move Point A to Point B without stops in between. FM prefers to see as much as he can along the way so I agreed to do a whirlwind cross-country trip to NY. What was I thinking?!

We decided since it might be a long time before we get back to this part of the world, we’re going to island-hop to Hawaii which, for us, means we will spend two nights each in Pohnpei, Kosrae and Majuro. After that, FM will “outprocess” in Honolulu which will give us a chance to visit with good friends.

After Hawaii, we pick up our vehicle in Long Beach and start our cross-country roadtrip. Our first stop will be about an hour outside of Las Vegas to visit close friends and then after that we’re still deciding what route to take to Kansas for required classes.  We have a set date to be in Kansas we can’t delay too much along the way.

In Kansas, there are numerous friends for us to see and I’m really looking forward to catching up with them. After Kansas, FG and I will leave FM for his final two weeks of classes and we head to Atlanta to see the furry babies. The plans after Kansas is still a little fuzzy but will hopefully gel once we get to the states. Bottom line is we want to visit as many friends and family as we can along the way.

I don’t know about you but I’m exhausted just thinking about all that…
