As most of you know by now, I am moving from the bitter cold of Minnesota to the warmth of Texas. Since I don’t have a job lined up in Texas, and I am (most likely) moving back in with the 'rents to save money for school, and since I was planning to go to DC in the spring anyway, I decided to take the scenic route and drive to Texas via Washington, DC. I have a route planned out. I will be in the following cities: [ul] [li]Madison, WI (March 25)[/li][li]Chicago, IL (March 25)[/li][li]Cleveland, OH (March 26)[/li][li]Pittsburgh, PA (March 26/27)[/li][li]Washington, DC (March 27/28)[/li][/ul] And, of course, points along the way. The dates above are target dates. Coming back from DC, my route will include the following: [ul] [li]Knoxville, TN[/li][li]Nashville, TN[/li][li]Memphis, TN[/li][li]Little Rock, AR[/li][li]Dallas, TX[/li][li]Austin/San Antonio, TX[/li][/ul] Dates TBD. (I may spend a day or two in Dallas, as my brother lives there and we’re planning a visit.) Of course, the above may change if I can juggle a few things and go to Spiffled. 😃 Such is the appeal of this trip. I can take my time and see what I want for as long as my wallet can hold out. 🙂 If anyone is interested in getting together, please let me know! Robin ---

You know I’m in, Robyn. And the offer to stay at my place still stands. Of course, Spiffled could throw a whole new spin on things…be sure to keep me updated. ---

Offer gratefully accepted 🙂 I’m planning to keep posting to this thread as things develop. I’m also planning to update my website with a pithy, witty journal of my travels that will someday be published and sold for $12.95. (just kidding, although you never know. Look at Steinbeck and Kerouac and Kuralt!) Robin ---

You can say you knew me way back when. 🙂 **Rob** : How about meeting halfway? **iampunha** : Definitely not a problem. Let me know how to get a hold of you and what works best. 🙂 **Scotti** : Not sure when I can make it up to the PNW, but it’s the last part of the country I haven’t seen yet, and I’ve been dying to go 🙂 Robin ---

**msrobyn** - if you’re having lunch with Scott on the 28th, I guess that means you’ll be in DC on the evening of the 27th. I’m definitely interested in meeting you then. And **Montfort** , the sig is updated. 🙂 ---

Believe it or not, I will actually be in or around DC on the 27th. The Glee Club is doing a road trip to DC and Baltimore that weekend. I don’t know if I’ll actually be free that evening because there might be obligatory social stuff with alums, but if I can, I’ll join ya.
