I've never quite been known as the king of advanced planning...it would be the exception rather than the norm if I knew what I was doing in two weeks. As it stands now, I have the next three weekends planned. Shocking, I know.
What's even more shocking is that I've already gotten Thanksgiving planned, which is, what, 2 months away? Wow. That's almost adult of me.
I'll be heading down to Knoxville for the Thanksgiving weekend, and I've even taken off the Wednesday before and the Monday after for travel. I'll most likely head down by car, as that's the most fun and I'd like access to my own car down there, but the mind-numbing 12 hour drive stretches my patience for sitting still. While I like the chance to be alone with my thoughts, not even I can stand myself for that long!
That being said, I love hitting the road. It's a much more satisfying means of travel than being stuck in a tiny seat in a metal tube with wings that performs some sort of physics voodoo to bring you, and possibly your baggage, to your destination. There's a certain freedom that the car allows, and freedom is always a good thing.
The route down is a familiar one. I'll drive through Washington, and then hit 66 over to I-81, which takes me through the Shenandoah Valley. It's a great, easy drive and affords beautiful scenery, so I'll most likely come back with a whole bunch of photos.
Damn, I love Thanksgiving! I can't wait for turkey.
