definitely thinking of changing the route

this feels a lot more comfortable: a giant figure eight.

i really think this would be best. starting from LA, drive straight through to salt lake city, visit with the weasels a few days then off with gina to yellowstone, visiting the other sights along the way. then to chicago via omaha. stay there for vest etc, then on to london via a michigan side trip. from there, drive to washington dc to visit polly & co. from there drive to savannah, trying to go along the coast whenever possible. stay with wonk, vest. then on to st augustine for a quick visit with kate & co. drive on to new orleans, hugging the coastline. visit new orleans, vest. onwards to denton, pick up sam's collar & visit carol & co., meet up with ozites. then to austin, visit cath (& zoe?). drive on to bisbee, visit with underscore. then to sedona, explore around the area a bit. on to las vegas, then via badwater, lee vining (mono lake), through yosemite to san francisco. meet up with ozites. then meander along the coastal road back to los angeles (another marine biologist's stomping ground). spend the last days in las vegas, seeing the sights. go home.

yep. that feels better than hurtling up the coast after i arrive in los angeles. i'll rework the agenda a bit, see if i can fit it in like that.
