Haha, thank you for the invitation, King. My, ah, travel budget is a bit limited at the moment, but it surely would be a momentous occasion.

That's a lot of ground space to cover... I was thinking of doing it over three days. That seems the most sensible thing to do, to get to see everything
Gelare: which state are you in?

Mira, I'm on the opposite coast - what I like to refer to as the "Awesome Coast" - in the area of Washington D.C. Road trip to the U.S. capital?

Hmmm, that's a tempting idea.
The Royal Mother has recently moved to Hawai'i and we're saving up to visit this summer. But since there will be no accommodation expenses, perhaps a trip to the Atlantic coast, you got those A words mixed up, wouldn't be completely out of the question.
Mira,
Three days is a sensible plan to try to tackle Disneyland. That way you wont burn out and become miserable.

Darn it... you had to be on the opposite end of the coast to where i'm going. *sigh* I've got about a day of free time in Atlanta (given there are no plane delays) and i have to stay there once i'm there. Nightwish is the whole point of this trip and heavens be damned if i miss it.

Heh, I'm relatively close to DC. (closer to DC than to the left, er, west coast, at any rate. ;D) I live in MI, though I've been wanting to visit a friend who lives in Placentia, CA. We shall see. I just had to dish out $500 between car repairs and an eye appointment (with new glasses thrown in), so I'm pretty much penniless at the moment. =/

Now that the pay has come through I'm staring at a couple hundred dollars to get both cars registered and smog checked.

Funny you mention smog testing. I was just speaking to my friend in Placentia about how she needs to get her car tested and how odd the concept sounds to me.

Why, are cars not required to pass a smog test in Michigan?

I'm writing a novel, which seems silly because whenever I tell myself I'm going to sit down and write something, it always has to be a "novel." It can never be a journal entry, short story, or a interior monologue--which I suppose is a journal entry. Needless to say, I'm actually confident in this one's (what's the word for successful) hoo-hah, to make it all the way to a hundred pages. It's about my time at a job if it were a desert island instead. All the names have been changed into puns to protect the innocent. In terms of storyline, imagine LOST if it were more like Lord of the Flies. In terms of style, picture The Canterbury Tales combined with Gulliver's Travels with the narrative of Candide and the bowel movement of MTV. I call it a hoot, though the title argues with me.

Which job are you talking about, the OI? Because I'd love to see my pun name if that were the case.

Now, since puns are my favorite, I took the liberty of making a mockery of most names for instance, if there were a Kelly Testa, then my mockery name became Shelley Quizza. Notice the Test to Quiz. Ho, ho! And if there were a Jenn, Conditt, well, my rebuttal there would have to be Jennifer Condor. Followed by a Michael Fire, Neal Cassidy, Victoria Lustful, Barry Whalesand, Jerry Fenstercreater (As opposed to "Tom"--the beloved cartoon character.) So for a name such as Ari Ailin (spell?) I had to decide what each of those meant to me and what could be rhymed. Ari sounded like "Are We" somewhat, and Ailin, made me think of how ail means to be unwell. So the name became Perri Ailment. "Are we ailing?" "Parry the ailment." The mind works in mysterious ways.

Why, are cars not required to pass a smog test in Michigan? Nope, no smog testing for the Michiganders. I don't even understand how one would test a vehicle for how much smog it puts out. Do you put it in a room and test the air purity? Or do you just hook something up to the exhaust pipe? I'd ask about my pun name, but my true name rhymes with a rather unfortunate word that my sister enjoys teasing me with. And so I assume it would correlate to said word. Nothing profane, but it's been done to death never the less. ;D
