So yeah. Gotta make that trip by m'self August 9th. I'm moving to Tempe, AZ - and I'm sure as shit gonna be miserable as soon as that heat hits me.
Not really looking forward to making the trip, but I can't wait to get there for a few different reasons.

I'm kinda nervous about moving to an area that's completely new to me - I've never even been to Arizona before. And it's a huge city (metro area = 4.5 million) Whereas the biggest city I've lived in is about 60,000 people.
At least I have family in Maryland and Misouri to stop at so I won't have to get a hotel. I'm kinda screwed from there though. I've considered taking a cot and sleeping on the side of the road somewhere near/in Amarillo, TX so I don't have to fork out a ton of cash for a hotel. But it will probably be hot as hell.

I guess I'll see what happens then.
