Finally here...

I finally made it to Tallahassee around 5:30 yesterday.  I've spent some quality time with my cousins and my aunt.  I met a couple of the nurses on my aunt's floor, and she already wants to fix me up with one of the nurses on her floor and her sister.  This brings the tally of women that she wants to fix me up with up to three.  I met one of them last year, and I thought she was very cute, and hopefully I'll get to go out with her soon.

I know I said I was going to post updates on here about my trip; unfortunately I was not able to.  I did, however, post updates on Facebook, so here is what I posted since Sunday.

...is hitting the road in 45 minutes. I will periodically send updates. These updates will be brought to you by Verizon Wireless and the HTC Imagio. The HTC Imagio - it's an iPhone with Windows!

...is in Newberry, PA about 60 miles north of Baltimore. I should hopefully be in Richmond by 5-6.

Back in the 804, and having conflicting feelings.

I deviated a little from my planned route. I'm west of Durham, NC at a truck stop. What's that hole in the wall over there? Wait a minute...NOOOOO!!!
...is at a Jack in the Box outside of Charlotte ::grin::

...is in Commerce, GA for the night. Getting up early to navigate the ATL, then it's on to Tallahassee. Woot!

...enjoying some southern BBQ in High Falls, GA. I should be in FL in 4 hours.

...is in Tallahassee playing Band Hero with his cousins. I've been given strict orders to call it Band Hero and nothing else.

First question you are probably asking is what are the conflicting feelings for Richmond.  First of all, I lived there for ten years, and the last couple of years were very unpleasant.  Since that time that I left NNJ behind, I see things in a different light.  I'm not going to say it was great to be back in Richmond, but it was nice being in familiar territory.  I went to lunch with Em and had a good time.  The other thing toying with my emotions was the night before when I went out with Shannon.  We knew each other for a year and a half, but nothing ever formulated.  We ran into each other about six months before I moved away, and she was engaged.  She actually broke up with her fiance the same say I moved to NY.  I was originally planning on forgoing Richmond, but then Shannon and Em wanted to get together, so I changed my route.  Shannon and I went to dinner, went back to my hotel, and I will leave it at that.

We had an instant connection, and that scares me a little bit.  Every time I had an instant connection in the past it backfired in my face.  Therefore, we're going to take things slow.  She might come down here to see me, or I may go up there to see her - we'll see what's around the pike.

That's really the only major highlight from my trip - unless you want to count going to Jack in the Box as a major highlight.  As I begin to build my life here in FL, I will keep everyone posted.  I'm heading down to Bell to see family for Easter, then it's back to the grind on Monday.
