On the Road…Again

June 14, 2008

Well, we got on the road about 5AM Eastern this morning, and have been driving pretty much straight through. Ran into a bit of traffic from time to time, especially in Orlando (which is in a perpetual state of traffic jam anyway). We’ve made it to the “Live Oak” exit on I-10.

It is now 1:15 PM Eastern, and we just got done with lunch (Burger King), so we’re headed back out. I think we’ll probably stop in Mobile, Alabama tonight (about another 5 hours down the road), though we may go a bit further than that if we feel like it.

We discussed it a bit, but there were no orgasm contests on this leg. :-(

I’ll try to keep this as a running update as to where we are and what we do until we get to SF, for you stalker….I mean, um, for those of who who are interested.

So far, the highlight of this trip was driving by some plant near Ocala that apparently makes fire trucks and equipment! <3

EDIT: June 14th, about 11:15 PM. We stopped and ate at TGI Fridays and then drove on to Mobile, which is where we’re staying tonight. We’ll get up tomorrow whenever we feel like it and get on down the road again. We plan to shoot for the middle of Texas tomorrow.

EDIT: June 15th, about 9:50 AM. LOL! We slept WAY in this morning and took our time getting ready. We’re headed out in a few minutes towards the west. Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there. ;-)

EDIT: June 15th, 9:42 PM. we made it to a little town west of Houston this evening. We’d started to stop before we got to Houston, but figured it’d be best to go on through so we didn’t have to deal with rush hour traffic tomorrow morning on our way out.

We passed through Louisiana on I-10 and you could still see a LOT of places where they haven’t cleaned up hurricane damage. It is still an impressive sight in a good chunk of that state. It sprinkled on us a bit coming into Houston, but so far the weather has cooperated with us all the way around.

Nikki won the orgasm contest today, coming in with an O at 2 minutes, 37 seconds. So I have to pay up here shortly before we tuck ourselves in for the night (see the comments below). :P

Tomorrow we’re going to head to some place in western Texas, perhaps where I-10 and I-20 meet, maybe further if we feel up to it. We can’t slack and leave late like we did today.

EDIT: June 16th, 6:32 AM Central. We’re getting an early start this morning, once again headed west. Enjoy your first day back to work. ;-)

EDIT: June 18th, 10:55 PM Mountain. Whew. Sorry for no update last night. We were in the middle of Bumfuck, Texas, with no decent data connectivity on my Blackberry, and some technical issues that prevented me from updating the site.

I got ready to get online tonight and got a “Bandwidth Exceeded” message. I had to contact the technical folks to get my blog back online! What a crappy 24 hours.

Last night we made it to a small town in western Texas, about 20 miles west of the junction of I-10 and I-20. Tonight we made it to the west side of Phoenix. I think with a little extra effort tomorrow we could make it to SF. BUT, my hotel reservation doesn’t start until Friday night, so we may take some detours and do some sightseeing.

We had a bit of fun today. We drove part way with the top down on the convertible. Several truckers honked at us as we went past, and after a few of those, well, you know how it goes, we started flashing them our boobs. lol There’s about 4 dozen truck drivers (including some women, I might add) who have a vivid picture of the boobs from either of us today. Hope you guys enjoyed that.

I also got stopped for speeding in Arizona, between Tucson and Phoenix (13 miles over). Nikki and I adjusted our tank tops for the nice officer and, well, let’s just say I didn’t get a ticket. ;-) I’ll admit for a brief few moments, I was concerned that he was stopping us because someone had reported us flashing truckers! Talk about needing to clean my britches out! :lol:

I guess that’s the update for now. Being on the road this long apparently causes craziness, and quite honestly, it is getting old! So, I’ll try to let everyone know where we landed tomorrow night, barring any unforeseen technical issues.

EDIT: June 19, 10:43 Pacific Time. Three hours ahead of my normal body clock! Wow, this sucks. I feel like I should have been asleep for three hours already! lol

Traffic around Los Angeles sucks major ass for anyone who may not already realize that.

We did a bit of sightseeing today (more on that to follow), and ended up about 40 miles outside of SF. Tomorrow, I have an appointment to see my actual apartment and to sign the final paperwork on it, and then I can being ordering utilities, cable, etc. The moving company called me yesterday and my stuff is available for delivery whenever I want to schedule it, so it looks like I may be moving in as soon as next Tuesday. I’ll be in a hotel until then.

I had my first (potential) client sign up, and wants me for six hours (and wants to take me to a Giants game). I have to screen him, though, so I don’t know yet if he is legit or not. We’ll see.

My Blackberry doesn’t last all day if I stay on it a good bit. It went dead this evening and I didn’t even notice for a good two hours, so I need to catch up with my e-mail and whatnot.

I’ll post again tomorrow evening once I get settled in the hotel.

EDIT: June 19, 9:15 PM Pacific. I had a long, productive day today.

  • Went and took care of leasing my apartment. This involved filling out an application, which required me to list my place of employment. My answer resulted in an interesting conversation with the 20-something year old hottie working with me. More on that later. Nikki has a bet with me as to how long it’ll be before we hook up. So far, I am winning! :P
  • Went and got the utilities transferred into my name.
  • Got my cable installation scheduled for Monday of next week. Yay for Internet access! <3 As long as I have that, I’m good, even without a bed to sleep on! :P
  • Rented a post office box
  • Got me a new local phone to use for work.
  • Arranged to have my stuff delivered to the apartment on Monday.
  • Spent some time in the apartment this evening trying to decide about what furniture to get and how to arrange things. It seems smaller now than it did in January! :lol: We’re are going to the furniture rental place tomorrow to find some stuff I like and arrange to have it delivered next week.

So, a busy but productive day.

The street outside my apartment is WAY busier (read: noisier) than the one by my house in Florida. That’s going to take some getting used to. It was “warm” here today, according to the local TV station - like lower 80s or so. I had to laugh. This is spring weather to me! :lol: I tell you what, though, traveling into southern California yesterday was like going through a furnace - temps well over 100 in some places. Wow!

This weekend, we’re going to go check out a club that the apartment girl suggested we check into. A place called Cockblock. Anyone heard of it? With a name like that, it has to be awesome! :lol:

Anyway, that’s it for today. I am glad the traveling is over, and how I am getting tired of living out of hotels, so I am ready to get moved in and settled so I can get on with life.

EDIT: June 20, 8:00 PM. Spent the day measuring the apartment and working with the folks at the furniture rental place to get some furniture that will fit. I think I picked out some nice stuff. ;-)

We broke the apartment in today as well, each of us taking our turns bent over the kitchen counter. They seem to be just at the right height for that kind of thing.

I flirted a bit with the “apartment girl” again today. I think she’s going to be fun to play with. I don’t know if she’s attached or not yet, or which side of the tracks she plays on.

I think this will be my final update on the travel post. From this point forward, I’ll resume posting new articles on specific subjects and whatnot. If that’s okay with you guys! ;-)

I hope you enjoyed traveling with me a bit. <3

I also want to thank those of you who wished me well on my travels.  It is nice knowing that you have people out there thinking about you and wishing the best for you.  Your comments and e-mails have been wonderful to read.  <3

    Stalkers? Are there stalkers here?! :-O :-P

    The orgasm contests sounds like it could be a bit dangerous so remember that there is no getting killed or seriously injured on this trip. Other than that I hope you have a lot of fun and make a stop up in Ohio to see me <3

  2. nina aoki on June 14th, 2008 2:25 pm

    We discussed it a bit, but there were no orgasm contests on this leg. :-(

    lame.

    ha!!!

    mwah!

  3. Ally on June 14th, 2008 3:23 pm

    ^^ I tried to talk her into it. But, she wasn’t having any of it…

    Oh, well. There’s still time! :p

  4. Keeley on June 14th, 2008 4:14 pm

    ^^They’re bad influences for you >.<

  5. nina aoki on June 14th, 2008 4:20 pm

    Oh, well. There’s still time! :p

    ha! She’ll give in, that slut.

    It’s a long five days in that little car of hers! :P

    ~n

  6. Alexa on June 14th, 2008 10:11 pm

    Bitches!

    The orgasm contests work this way: The drive randomly calls “orgasm” and the passenger has to get themselves off. Whoever does it the quickest during the day (it can be called no more than once an hour) wins! ;-)

    So, there’s no danger of…causing an accident or anything. :P

  7. nina on June 14th, 2008 10:28 pm

    And the record is… what?

    Well, serves you right… turn your back for a day and look what happens… :P

    ~n

  8. Alexa on June 14th, 2008 10:31 pm

    And the record is… what?

    The record is 45 seconds, held by me, and achieved during our original trip down to Florida. ;-)

  9. nina on June 14th, 2008 10:41 pm

    The record is 45 seconds, held by me, and achieved during our original trip down to Florida. ;-)

    Impressive!

    a) fast fingers
    b) dirty mind
    c) both

    (why do I already know the answer to this?) :P

    ~n

  10. Alexa on June 14th, 2008 10:46 pm

    Let’s just say I had already been…visualizing some stuff when the O was called. :P

  11. Ally on June 15th, 2008 3:56 am

    45 seconds..

    It takes me that long just to organise my dirty thoughts.

    Does the winner.. win anything? Or is it one of those “there are no losers when orgasms are involved” kinda games?

  12. Alan on June 15th, 2008 6:11 am

    Sounds like Alexa already had her “dirty thoughts” already quite organized when she embarked on her 45 seconds to orgasm.

    Nevertheless, good girl.

    If you get lost and wind up in Ohio, see me know too!!

    Alan

    P.S. I do feel a little like a stalker. Hope you don’t mind! :)

  13. Keeley on June 15th, 2008 7:48 am

    Lol! That sounds safe and fun so enjoy! I’m astonished by your 45 seconds.

  14. Alan on June 15th, 2008 8:31 am

    “see me know too”??

    I must have been asleep when I wrote that. I meant, come see me too!

    Alan

  15. Alexa on June 15th, 2008 8:48 am

    Sounds like Alexa already had her “dirty thoughts” already quite organized when she embarked on her 45 seconds to orgasm.

    That would be accurate, but there are no rules against that. ;-)

    Or is it one of those “there are no losers when orgasms are involved” kinda games?

    Yes. It is. :P

  16. nina on June 15th, 2008 12:54 pm

    Let’s just say I had already been…visualizing some stuff when the O was called. :P

    ha! And this is different than… when? Always?

    Did I miss something? lmao! :P

    ~n

    @Ally

    Does the winner.. win anything?

    jalapeños? Or maybe some other oral stimulation? :P

    everyone knows that oral pleasure is the universal currency in these kinds of contests! lol!

    It’s kind of a “winner eats all” sort of arrangement! ;)

  17. Ally on June 15th, 2008 2:46 pm

    ^ LOL… “winner eats all”, eh?

    All the Jalapeños, or all the pussy?

    Either would be good, but eating one just before the other, might not be… ^_^

  18. Alexa on June 15th, 2008 8:37 pm

    Did I miss something?

    What are you saying, Nina?

    It’s kind of a “winner eats all” sort of arrangement!

    Indeed it is. And Nikki won today, so…. :P

    Either would be good, but eating one just before the other, might not be… ^_^

    That hurts just thinking about it. :shock:

  19. Shannon on June 16th, 2008 1:52 am

    Sounds like you are quite enjoying yourself on this trip. :P
    I should play that game next time with J. Except.. he’d win.
    But I’m learning dammit!!!!

    I’m super excited about you getting to SF. It’s amazing there.
    Keep us updated :)

  20. blackdog on June 16th, 2008 11:04 am

    You ladies are making good time. ‘Thelma & Lousie 2′ takes the country by storm - but no driving off cliffs, please! And if you see a studly cowboy that looks like Brad Pitt, watch out. He’ll steal your shit…

  21. nina on June 16th, 2008 1:05 pm

    All the Jalapeños, or all the pussy?

    Well, personally, I think pussy tastes better…! :P

    Indeed it is. And Nikki won today, so…. :P

    Lucky girl.

    That hurts just thinking about it. :shock:

    LMAO!

    Alexa, my darling, if you actually liked the mighty Jalapeño, I am 100% absolutely sure that you would be the first to try and figure out a way to make the two go together… with a completely rational argument for why they should too! :P

    Without a doubt.

    Perhaps Nikki is lucky that you don’t, now that I think about this! HA!

    mwah!

    ~n

  22. Ally on June 17th, 2008 2:07 am

    You guys have obviously never gone home from a Mexican-themed party with a guy who’d been eating some veryyyy hot peppers there, and obviously didn’t wash his hands before we got intimate. He was hot in ALL the wrong ways.. in my most sensitive of areas.

    I think the moral of this story is pretty obvious. Metaphorical jalapeños are awesome during sex. Actual ones… not so much.

  23. nina on June 17th, 2008 6:26 am

    He was hot in ALL the wrong ways.. in my most sensitive of areas.

    (spits her tea) LMAO!

    I don’t even have anything remotely amusing to come back atcha on that one!

    Um, No, I don’t think I’ve had that, um, pleasure? lol!

    I think the moral of this story is pretty obvious. Metaphorical jalapeños are awesome during sex. Actual ones… not so much.

    Indeed.

  24. Alexa on June 18th, 2008 12:12 am

    I think I will set the word censor on my blog to change “jalapeños” into something else. :lol:

  25. Ally on June 18th, 2008 2:23 am

    “There’s about 4 dozen truck drivers (including some women, I might add) who have a vivid picture of the boobs from either of us today. ”

    I bet that livened up their long journey! Among other things…

    I’m sure that an orgasm contest would have been more than appreciated! lol

    “Being on the road this long apparently causes craziness”

    Where do you think the phrase “you’re driving me crazy!” comes from? :-p

  26. blackdog on June 18th, 2008 10:02 am

    Got out of a ticket, huh? Well I called that one. What do I win??

  27. Jordan on June 18th, 2008 11:41 pm

    Hey,
    Come Visit me. You’re close to me now. :P

  28. Alexa on June 19th, 2008 12:56 am

    Among other things…

    Indeed. :P

    What do I win??

    What do you want? ;-)

    Come Visit me. You’re close to me now.

    Hmm. How far is it from me to you, do you know?

  29. Shannon on June 19th, 2008 3:25 am

    Hope all is going well!!! :D

  30. blackdog on June 19th, 2008 10:17 am

    Let’s just say that if any of my other predictions for you come true, it will be satisfaction enough for me. Your success = my reward, if you will… muah :)

  31. Jordan on June 19th, 2008 5:45 pm

    well, now you aren’t very close to me. :( you were 6 hours away before, but still.. now you’re way farther away.

  32. Alexa on June 19th, 2008 11:55 pm

    Jordan, I am closer to Utah now that I ever have been! WTF are you taking about? :lol:

    And bd, thank you. ;-)

    Shannon, yes, things are going quite well. But it is early yet! lol

  33. Alan on June 20th, 2008 5:37 pm

    “It was “warm” here today, according to the local TV station - like lower 80s or so. I had to laugh.”

    HaHa. Low 80s is HOT for SF, especially in June/July/August. (The 80s are more common in April or October.) Anyway, you’ll get back to “normal” — Sunday is a high of 65. Buy a sweatshirt.

    I googled Cockblock. “San Francisco’s most homolicious lesbian dance party.” Yay, have fun and tell us all about it. :)

  34. Alexa on June 21st, 2008 12:48 am

    I googled Cockblock. “San Francisco’s most homolicious lesbian dance party.” Yay, have fun and tell us all about it.

    Looks like in interesting place. We’re planning on heading there tomorrow night. ;-)

  35. Shannon on June 23rd, 2008 2:01 am

    Glad to hear you got there safe!
    Enjoy the new apartment lady and Cockblock!!!
    :D

Got something to say?
