The coffee didn’t last too long. Stopped at another Starbucks in Barstow for ice tea. I often get strange looks if I ask for 10 pumps of vanilla in a venti cup. Hey the regular 6 pumps just don’t make it sweet enough. Who wants to drink unsweetened tea? :-) Here is a picture from that Starbucks. Very nice weather 76F (24C). Probably the warmest it’ll be on this trip.
Left pretty much on time. First stop was Starbucks. It’s a law you can’t start a roadtrip without going to Starbucks first. Had a grande eight pump vanilla latte (enough caffeine for me) and a power protein plate. The peanut butter package for the bagel didn’t want to open. It said easy pour. Yeah right. :-)
Ok will be going along the 15 North driving right through Vegas. No stopping there or I’ll get in trouble. :-)
The destination for tonight will be Cedar City, UT. Small town. And an hour will be lost too when going into Mountain Daylight Saving Time.
Ok I’m ready now to go to Chicago. It’ll be an adventure. Just like life. You never know exactly what will happen or how things will unfold. I have never been to Chicago before in my life. I’ll also visit a few new states like Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois.
I had no idea about all the new experiences I would collect on my last road-trip last year which went all the way to Key West, FL. Amazing experience which lasted 28 days.
The only thing I know is that I’ll visit the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. Two people one of them which was an amazing sales clerk in Vegas told me about this aquarium. Both of them said it’s one of the best ones in the country. Everything certainly says: Visit the Aquarium. I love seeing animals and the ocean has so many wonders we have no idea of.
Ok it’s time to go bed now. I’m tired. The plan is to leave at 9:00am and arrive in Chicago Thursday evening. I packed some warm clothes. It won’t be a beach trip. :-) Stay tuned for pictures and adventure stories.
