My sister and I drove down from San Jose to L.A. last night. It was probably one of the most tiring drives ever. Part of it is due to the environment of the drive -- dark and desolate farmlands, a thick layer of fog, and brake lights as far as the eye can see. These factors all led to my brain disengaging and driving on auto-pilot, only waking up when a chance to play Frogger appeared in front of me.
It should come as no surprise then, that as soon as I arrived at my parent's home I went straight to my bedroom and collapsed into bed, where I slept for nearly 10 hours.
It's strange to come home and find my parents not here. My mother set aside some things before she left, some notes on the table and messages on the machine.
I'm driving down to San Diego today to spend Christmas at my sister's. (We traditionally have Christmas dinner on the night before Christmas)
We were on the road the same day! Only, I got to drive through Los Angeles. Ick. It took me two and a half hours to make it from Castaic (just south of the Grapevine) to Torrance. Then I stopped for dinner and left for San Diego later.
I'm glad you made it safely to L.A last night, Mike. Have a wonderful Christmas and have a safe trip to San Diego! =D
Cat: Thanks! =D We made it to San Diego safely =)Have a very Merry Christmas!
Alex: Yeah, we were able to take the 5 all the way, so we were able to avoid driving through Downtown LA.
