Final, Final Itinerary (?)

Welcome to the final, final version of the itinerary. We think. We spent the morning at a restaurant in Raleigh talking about the schedule. Bartowsky had two destinations on his list, Charleston and Austin -after confirming that Seattle and Portland are on the list. 10-4, Good Buddy. It is a definite go on PDX and SEA. So we reconfigured to make sure that the Austin City Limits would come into view of our little road trip. Charleston was already there on an earlier version.

We have also built in three days of extra time so that we can alter the trip or the schedule at any time and move forward confidently with things that catch our roving and nomadic eyes. We are still planning on being on the road by 6:00 AM each day, so that we can wrap up a day fairly early AND still log hundreds of miles.

The final, final thing comes from a long time ago, in architectural practice. We used to draw a project, modify it and then save it as, "Final Version." Then a brainstorm would hit and we would save the alterations as, "Final-Final Version." And so on. I remember one named, "Absolute Final Version." Followed by, "Ok -This Is The Final Version." Then one day someone walked in and had the brainstorm of brainstorms. We went to dates for the titles. Duh! Just open the drawings with the latest date for a name. Good thing we went to college and got smart and all. Five years minimum to become an architect and we were naming stuff, "This One."

​At any rate, here is the version that Bartowsky and I discussed this morning. The Final, Final Version. Enjoy.
