Starting back on the very lat day of April (Friday, April 30), I had a pretty interesting span of 12 days. I compare a lot of things to baseball this almost felt like a road trip for me. Here is the breakdown:
Friday, April 30: 18o mile drive (about 3 hours) to Indianapolis for meeting.
Saturday, May 1: Supposed to leave for home that night. Because of bad storms, we stay an extra night.
Sunday, May 2: 180 mile drive back to Evansville. Meet with chapter at Lyrecrest and conduct phone interview. I get back home around 2:00 pm.
Monday, May 3: Normal day
Tuesday, May 4: Normal Day
Wednesday, May 5: Fly to New Orleans (connection in Chicago) for a conference
Thursday, May 6: New Orleans...enjoyed a couple hurricanes at a piano bar.
Friday, May 7: Find out that Leandra's grandmother dies. Trip to Cloquet, Minn. forthcoming.
Saturday, May 8 (this gets its own paragraph): Fly out to Evansville (connection in Dallas). The plan is to rent a car once I get back to Evansville and start driving once Leandra gets out of work. Flight from Dallas to Evansville is overbooked and volunteers get a $300 voucher and rerouted through Chicago. Since Leandra can pick me up in Chicago, I volunteer, but I have to sit at O'Hare for over 5 hours until she can get there. She picks me up and we go to Elkhorn, Wis. to crash at her sister's place. 392 miles for this portion of the trip, but only about 82 miles with me in the car.
Sunday, May 9: 402 mile drive back to Cloquet, Minn. About 6 hours in the car.
Monday, May 10: Cloquet, Minn.
Tuesday, May 11: 780 miles to Evansville, IN (14 hours)
Wednesday, May 12: Normal Day
In total:
Driving miles - 1,624 miles (not including incidental trips between hotel and places)
Driving time - About 14.5-15 hours
Flying Time and Miles - ???
Time spent in O'Hare Airport - about 7 hours
