Right now I am 11 days away from packing up my apartment in NYC and lugging all of it across the country to Colorado. Despite how fun a cross country trip sounds, I do not think having a U-Haul as your means of transportation is part of that idyllic journey. Trying to move all of my junk cheaply has left me with no other option but to drive across 3/4 of America, luckily my friend Anne has decided to trek the 27 hours with me. We are looking forward to our pit-stops in Cincinnati, Des Moines, and Omaha, where we can....
What is actually is making me the most anxious is packing, because I haven't started.
Right now I am in the time period where I still need things day to day so I cannot pack everything, but I am slowly creeping up on D day and HAVE to have everything packed.
Instead of getting anxious about the drive, I think that I am going to look up exciting destinations in the mid-west to stop. Anyone have suggestions?
It might actually be faster if you just drive through Indianapolis.. I'm from Indy, and I absolutely love it, though if you want to talk exciting midwestern destinations Chicago would probably be it! If you do find it's faster to drive from NYC (I live in Westchester, I do the drive from NY to IN about 8 times a year), then I recommend stopping there for a day. It's a cute little city, nice art museum, nice Children's Museum, etc.
ReplyDeleteI think the route they have me driving is along I-80. Is Indy off of that interstate?
