A Roadtrip Map

"Kiera v. 3,172 Miles: A Road Paved With Words"

I am counting down the days before I embark on a cross country roadtrip from West to East. I am packing up the last of my things and refreshing facebook marketplace listings hourly. I have nothing left in my fridge except for one single ice cube and a half drunk Arizona iced tea. I have worn the same clothes for the last two days trying to minimize the load of laundry that I will inevitably have to do on my last day. I am eating out at my favorite spots, savoring the tastes and smells that I will leave behind. I’m picking up Slim Jims and trail mix at the local 7 Eleven to keep my co-pilot and I well-nourished on our upcoming trip. I purchased a lumbar support and phone mount from Amazon that should be here today. Tomorrow means going to Costco to fill up on gas and going to CVS to pick up my refilled prescription. It is all coming together, folks! No romanticized preparations here, just realness and an aching back.

For now I’d like to share my Canva-designed map that lists all of our stops along the way.

This trip totals 2,933 miles and 46 hours in the car (if all goes according to plan!). I’m looking forward to bringing y’all with me. Tomorrow I’ll share our roadtrip soundtrack that will get us through all that time on the road.

Until next time,

Kiera
