No more driving

I'm glad that I won't have to drive long distances for a while. This makes sense considering I grew up on an island that was about 30 miles long (a third of which was inaccessible because of the military) and got carsick when we were in the car for more than 10 minutes. I'm surprised Alex still likes me considering I refused to talk to him while either of us was driving, sometimes even forcing myself to sleep to avoid conversation (sorry Alex). I'm just not one of those kinds of people.

In the morning Alex and I will be off to Boston! Neither of us have been there so it will be a treat for the both of us. In the place of long distance driving will be various modes of transportation including busses, airplanes and trains. This next week (our last in the mainland) will be a test of our health. Perhaps it was a good thing that Alex's dad pawned off a lot of medicine on us. In any case, my goal is to not get sick and avoid being quarantined in China.

I better try to compress my bag now.
