Took over a year to find this one…

Today I complete my year long road trip when I drive from Long Beach to Seattle. I plan on posting a trip summary sometime in the next few days.
First four nights in Seattle will be at the Hilton in downtown (playing tourist for a bit). After that, not sure where I’ll be.
Then it’s house hunting time. I lived nearly my entire adult life in Seattle, so I think it’s time for small town life again (I grew up in a small town). I have a few ideas but for now, all I’m going to say is that my new home will be somewhere in Western WA.
I’m not done with my blog – there will be more travel adventures in my future, I’m sure.

Last year, on Memorial Day, I started this trip by driving From Seattle to Long Beach, staying one night at the Adrift Hotel. Today, Memorial Day, one year later, I’ll again drive to Long Beach and the Adrift Hotel. I’ll arrive in Seattle tomorrow.

Fish, prawns and chips at a favorite spot in Port Orford 😋

Two days from Seattle so tonight’s stop will be the same as day 2 – Florence, Oregon

The last three days of my road trip will, in reverse, duplicate the first three days.
I’m three days away from arriving back in Seattle. Tonight I’ll stay in the same place as I did on Day 3 – The Eureka Inn in Eureka, California.

Since it’s such a short drive to Sunnyvale, where I’ll spend the night, I’ll detour to Monterey for lunch.

From Garden Grove, CA to Pismo Beach, CA. Since it’s a relatively short drive, I’ll spend at least part of the day avoiding freeways.

Today I leave Las Vegas and drive to Garden Grove, California. I’ll reach Seattle in six day, on Tuesday, May 29th.
