Well now, it appears my trip is now over. Here's a quick rundown.
Day 1: Get up at around 5 am. Drive. Check into hotel in target city around 10 pm. Hungry. Find Safeway. Have sandwich involving focaccia. Sleep.
Day 2: Interview. Go to Seattle (significant yet pleasant drive). Have dinner and hang out with friends. Drive back to target city. In the process, be involved in construction reducing three lanes to one. Go 4 miles in 50 minutes. Sleep.
Day 3: Wander around potential source town. Buy used books. Eat at local pub. Check out river park. Buy Scottish Gin which is not available in Wyoming. Decide that, despite higher-prestige opportunities, you'll take the job.
Day 4: drive South along the Pacific Coast. Recognize the bliss. End up in a seedy Motel 6 in Sacramento.
Day 5: Go east, young man. Stop for lunch with one of your classmates, but otherwise, drive.
Day 6: Back in the groove. Get up at 4:45 a.m. and run 4.5 miles. Carpool leaves at 7; work starts at 8.
So, that, overall, was my trip. I loved the town I might be working in, though I unfortunately doubt I'll get the position. Regardless, it was a fun trip. I hope to have a fun entry about little trip bits soon. I put over 3,300 miles on my car, which is quite a lot for me.
