My parents told me I got a big packet in the mail from Temple recently... but I havent had a chance to get it from them yet.
I think i'm gonna stay in the manayunk area... but i'm not certain yet. I'm gonna have to make a trip up soon and check out the options.
What about you?
 
Indiana to Colorado: approximately 1200 miles. Going to make a family road trip out of it, should be fun!
 
LA to NYC!

Luckily I'm not FROM LA, so trips home to the family will be a quick 45 minute flight.
 
Definitely a long marathon but I've got a 3 hour drive from SoCal to Vegas.
 
1763 miles. BC to Minneapolis. To drive or not to drive that is the question.

Looking forward to it 🙂

I havent really decided what i'm bringing yet. It really depends on how much it would cost to get a moving truck vs how much it would be to replace my larger items. I may just end up cramming all I can in to my car and driving up.
 
2,207 miles, according to Mapquest!

NOT looking forward to how much this will cost, but i've driven across the country a few times already~i like roadtrips.
