夏休み

夏休みだー。夏休みなんぞ、いつ以来だろう。仕事をしていた時は長くとも10日間の休みしか取れなかったし、かつ必ず旅行計画をその休暇中に実行していたので、何もない1ヶ月以上の休みなんて、頭が溶けそう。

そこで、

計画その1-Road Trip
計画その2-運転免許の取得
計画その3-3DSの勉強
計画その4-健康維持のため、ハイキング

これで、脳みそ溶解は間逃れそう。Road Tripはシカゴからシアトルへの横断。友達も含め4人で、横断するので、途中キャンプやら、ハイキングやら、色々Wild Lifeが楽しめそう。

友達のKATSUMIが、9月12日にシアトルに遊びにくるので、それまでにはシアトルに到着せねば…。車が故障したら、きっと、KATSUMIはシアトル空港で4日間キャンプすることになってしまうだろう。。。怒るだろうなー。などと、カウチの上で考えてたら、笑けてきたぞ。

今日はこれから、山の上までハイキング。なんて爽快な気分だろう。外は晴れ。猫はデスクの上で昼寝。私はカウチの上でうたた寝状態でBlogの更新。昨夜焼いた、ブラウニーをおやつとして、コーヒーと。(幸)

単純明快爽快快晴。そして、明日も、晴れ。

A Road Trip

Final is coming soon. This is the worst moment in a each quarter. However, this is also the best excited moment to think about what I want to do during a break.

After the final, I am planning to go to a road trip with Sam, Chuck and Brian. This is going to be a really fun trip from Iowa to Seattle. We will first fly to Iowa to visit their friends, Brandi & Mayce, and we will stay at their home for a week. Then, we will rent a car to come back to Seattle. We are mapping where we would like to go through this trip. They have their relatives near Iowa to visit, so I am the only person who is mapping Yellow Stone, National parks, caves, and lakes for hiking and camping ;-) I cannot wait for this BUT I have to finish the final exams first!

Brian is leaving here for Japan, Europe, and some other countries for a few years after the road trip. I hope that he will be able to make a really good memories through this road trip that can remind him that he has really great friends here in the U.S. always wherever he is.

WOW, I dreamed a road trip crossing the U.S. since high school. I should map more hiking and camping places!

Sam - Thanks for booking a rent car and arranging for everything!
Chuck - I cannot wait for hearing your jokes in a car for 7 days!
Brian - Can I pretend sleeping while Chuck is joking? Kidding!
