the route so far...

New Nork, New york....Washington, DC....Salem, Virgina....Knoxville, Tenessee....Memphis, Tenesse....Amarillo, Texas....Santa Fe, New Mexico....Flagstaff/Phoenix, Arizona....Las Vegas, Nevada....Los Angeles, California.

thats a preliminary route as far as we have it. NY is a good place to start from and it was either that or somewhere in florida, but i think it can get quite stormy and wet in florida in august, so we decided to go with NY, which will be hot and sunny. washington dc next, to see the white house, capitol hill etc. salem virginia, in the blue ridge mountains for a stop over. knoxville to see nine inch nails. memphis to go to graceland. big long day of driving to amarillo and then onto santa fe, which is supposed to be a pretty town. next is flagstaff to see the grand canyon and phoenix to see my dear friend. then its on to vegas baby! and finish up in the city of angels and will try and get tickets to see radiohead at the hollywood bowl.


don't know if i will be able to blog but will be taking lots of pictures so will post them on my return.

one or two calls about jobs, but they were nothing special so i declined to be put forward. all that stuff starts properly when i get back at the end of august. work has been quiet thankfully. it had gotten a little busier but its all died down again which is good. haven't done too much study and i delayed the 2 exams i had booked. probably won't get to do them before i leave, but thats ok. i have done the vmware VCP, citrix CCA and the full MCITP windows 2008 certification since december. thats good going and the 2 exams i have booked are just because i was bored and not because i had to do them. i should be set up well for when i get back and i put myself on the market. financial companies are going through hard times at the moment, but we'll see what we can get.

today i have mostly been listening to the verve - love is noise. my new favourite song. can't wait for the new album. this was on TV on sunday night and i was watching it thinking it was one of the best performances i had ever seen. i really like the bit towards the end when he puts on his leather jacket and walks off. job done. thats very cool.



take care my friend. you will be the highlight of my trip.
