That's A Wrap
UPDATE: New blog site changed to sterlingsuite.blogspot.com !
Officially out of New York City, officially settled into Riverside (dear God only temporarily, I pray). I had SUCH A BLAST on my road trip home, I am so happy it didn't happen any other way. Well, I wish Jayna could have come all the way to California, but they don't call it Game of Roads for nothing! It was not only such a great adventure, but also a great transition to the move from coast to coast. Next time I go out there, maybe I'll do the drive again and take the northern route.
New York is done. All the moving, subway waits, Metrocard refills, train rides with groceries I can't carry, day-long excursions to Target... all done. All the summertime bedbug scares, grossly overpriced everything in Manhattan, springboard diving, dripping humidity, and fight-to-the-death competition for resources for things as simple as a seat in Starbucks... all done! The fear of having a heart attack in the city and dying on the way to the hospital cause the ambulance is stuck in traffic in midtown... all done! To be fair, I'm equally scared of a heart attack now that I don't have a full time job with benefits, ha! Let's do a short recap of some of the things I got to do the past few years while living on the East Coast:
-Explored all 5 boroughs for culture, fun and adventure
-Day trips upstate along the Hudson, on Long Island, in New Jersey, weekends in Poughkeepsie
-Fourth of July on Cape Cod
-Road trip from New York to Niagara Falls and Toronto

-Saw the Yankees, Mets, Knicks and Nets play
-Got to watch the NY Giants win the Superbowl while in New York
-Frequent visits to/from friends in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore/DC
-Got to visit Orchard House, the home of Louisa May Alcott and Little Women outside of Boston
-Ran my first race on the Coney Island boardwalk

-Saw the New York City Philharmonic play in Central Park
-Saw Chicago, Memphis, Alice in Wonderland and Once play on Broadway

Long live my New York City life
May 16, 2010 - July 13, 2013
Most people are interested to hear about how I am adjusting to California: Do I feel different? Do I regret leaving New York? Here are some of those answers:
1. I don't feel different at all. It doesn't even feel weird to live at home right now. It just... is what it is. I don't really see California or the world the same as when I left, but that's kinda true every time you take a trip or live somewhere new I guess, and that has actually made me love being home all the more. And I'm very thankful for all the places I've seen and friends I've made, and I'm already looking forward to their visits! If anything, I just feel exponentially more free, and alive, and like I can breathe and live again.
2. My biggest fear before leaving was probably that I would regret doing it. I worried that I was just in a down-time with New York, and would immediately wish that I was back there, which would be a very difficult decision to reverse. However, there is not one single shred of me that regrets leaving. As a matter of fact, as I was driving away, I was more upset that I wasn't upset at all. I kept thinking "didn't these past years mean anything to me?!" Of course they did, but my life needed more room to breathe, and living there much longer in my state sounded suffocating. New York City is New York City... it's fabulous and fun and I will always love visiting there. But every time I read about it, see a picture of it... there is literally nothing in my heart or soul that stirs... no nostalgia, no wishful thinking, no sadness. That is not to say that I didn't love my years there. I'm very thankful I had those years and experience and have all the memories I do. A New York native once said to me "New York City will put a mirror up to your bare soul" which I thought was pretty accurate. That is to say, you are forced to confront who and what you are, and I think that my time there sucked a lot of poison out of my life, and after my time there, I feel a changed person, for the better, and isn't that always the point?
Of course, this transition has already been interesting. What am I doing and what am I going to do? I still don't know, but I am investing in a few different routes for now, and we will see what comes of it all.
So what's going to happen to my blog? This was all started on the premise of living in New York City, and since I don't anymore, I've decided to end it here. It will officially be taken offline on August 31, 2013. But wait! There's good news! Since I have become so accustomed to sharing my life stories (and have had such great feedback from you all) I have decided to start a new one chronicling this new journey... so bookmark the page now: sterlingsuite.blogspot.com! The site will go live on August 1, 2013 (this Thursday)!
Thank you everyone for all your support and help and friendship for these past few years while I was so far away. I would like to leave this with the words of Lana del Rey:
The road is long, we carry on, try to have fun in the meantime.

CALIFORNIA
Got home on Saturday afternoon and it has really taken me this long to muster up the energy to do anything, really, including updating to say that I'm home safe and sound!
The last leg of the trip was fairly uneventful given that I've done that LA - Phoenix drive more than a few times, and was just in Coachella Valley a few weeks ago, but still I do love seeing the desert! My dad and I were out of the hotel by around 9a, stopped for a Starbucks, and then took that Interstate 10-West all the way home! (Fun fact: I'd been on and off the I-10 W since New Orleans!)
There was no California rest stop with a nice welcome sign (rude! who can I write to about that, by the way?) but we did get the faded poppy sign, and then got DEL TACO!! That's how you know I'm home! And then the fuel light came on somewhere inbetween Blythe and Indio, and let me tell you, that was a scary drive, although Coachella popped up before Indio and saved the day... relatively speaking, because somehow or other gas shot up to $4.13, where in the rest of the country it had been about $3.50. That hurt. And then we drove into some weird rain storm. But I made it!
Oh and in Atlanta, Jayna and I fulfilled her dream of making a karaoke cd, and you can all experience the magic here!
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California! Sixteen states, three passengers and 3,087 miles later, here I am! For the record, I could have kept going. Give me that rental car back and I would have went straight up to Montana or taken the northern loop right back to the East Coast and come around again. I loved it! But, now to settle in and figure out what I'm going to do and what is going on in life. Womp womp!

Phoenix, Arizona
Woke up in The Valley of the Sun today and I am feeling every degree! I can't complain though because I love the desert and this dry heat!
We were on the road from El Paso by 9a, blazed through Las Cruces, and all of New Mexico, actually, enough to cross into Arizona and take a quick jaunt off the beaten path to visit Tombstone, Arizona. We walked around, took in a gunfight show (only in 'murica!) and then had lunch at Big Nose Kate's Saloon. A few hours later we were in Phoenix and checked into a great Hilton property with water slides and pools. We were able to swim before getting dinner and collapsing in the room.
And now, this is it! The home stretch, Game of Roads coming to a close, bringin' her on home... but I don't want the adventure to end!

El Paso, Texas
As you can see from the title, my dad and I made it to El Paso. I was out of Doug's place in San Antonio pretty early since he had to work and I had 8 hours to drive anyway, so I was downtown by 9:30. My dad and I went into the city center to visit the Alamo and see the Riverwalk (well, getting a Starbucks was really the mission) before we got on the road.
The trees and swamps of the east were gone, and slowly replaced by the flat farm lands, into the deserty wastelands that endlessly went on and brought us into El Paso 8 hours later. My energy wains more and more every day, and after getting to the Double Tree hotel, I immediately fell asleep on the bed for a few hours, and didn't leave for dinner until I woke up, after 8p. After dinner in the hotel restaurant, we took a small walk around the historic El Paso downtown, and then into the Camino Real Hotel and had a last drink at some historic dome bar.
Another early start, and we plan to spend tonight in Phoenix.

San Antonio, Texas
Nothing like waking up on a couch in San Antonio! How did I get here, you ask? Let me tell you.
Jayna and I had a pretty nice long day in Austin. We had a later check-out time than usual and got to relax a little more, and had basically all day in the city. After checking out of the hotel, we dropped our stuff off at the car and Jayna came up with a battle plan on our city map. By the end of the day we had traversed that whole place. Down to the Colorado River, up the Congress Street area, around the State Capitol Building, and eating in the Red River District. We were trying to make it to Franklin BBQ, a place we had heard a lot about. They warned that sometimes they sell out of brisket and to get there early, but they didn't tell us that there was also danger of selling out of ALL FOOD. Literally the place was just sold out of food by the time we got there, so we had to find somewhere else to eat. We walked a few more blocks and ate at a Tex-Mex Cantina and our waitress told us about the Barton natural springs on the other side of the river, and we had every intention of going but actually ended up caught in a huge freak thunderstorm and couldn't escape before it was time to get to the airport.
I dropped Jayna off at the Austin airport for her flight back to Raleigh. It was the end of an era. The car was immediately quiet and the trip definitely felt different. I was happy I only had a 2 hour drive to San Antonio to see Doug, a friend from San Diego who is here for a six-month internship.
When I got to Doug's we took off for some Texas BBQ at what I later learned was a chain restaurant, called Rudy's, but it was just great. Firewood and meat by the pound, I got a quarter pound of sliced brisket, dill pickles, potato salad, and a Texas beer. We sat outside long into the night under the string of lights and got to enjoy the warm summer air and just talk and catch up.
When I was clearing my tray, a worker came to help me since he was on that trash can anyway. I took my beer bottle off and asked if they recycled, wondering if I should toss it somewhere else. The look he gave me was half-disgust and half-"Where did you come from, hippie?" and I couldn't be too surprised... Texas sure never lets you forget where you are! Well sir, this hippie is on her way back to California! Today I'll pick up my dad from his hotel in San Antonio and we'll power through to El Paso or Las Cruces, New Mexico tonight. Getting closer... which makes me both sad and glad.

Austin, Texas
We checked out of the hotel and walked around for a good four hours. We visited Louis Armstrong park, walked around the French Quarter, went to the waterfront of the Mississippi River, had coffee and beignets at Cafe du Monde, visited the French Market and had gumbo and jambalaya at an outdoor cafe with a live band. Every single corner of the city seemed so photogenic, and it was so hard to leave! We both wanted to stay another day or two. Leaving was pretty interesting though, because the marshes and swampland was immediately outside the city and really crazy to see!
Hoursssss later we entered into Texas and boy howdy it was prettyyyyy obvious. We pulled into a gas station just across the Louisiana / Texas border and inside was a bunch of men smoking and talking about their guns. I knew I was a looooong way from New York City! Next was a quick stop in Houston to visit the massive Waterwall (pretty impressive!) and dinner, before spending a long time on a very deserted highway into Austin!
We parked, checked into the hotel, then immediately walked around the corner from the Driskill onto Sixth Street and got time to not only take in a few round of drinks ($5 for TWO Uncle Carls!!) but even get a party on the dance floor! Sixth Street was pretty lively and reminded me a lotttttt of San Diego's Gaslamp, although very collegey considering UT Austin is right down the road, and apparently they stick around for the summer!

Every morning I seem to wake with a little less base energy than the day before, and even though I've been sleeping very well on this whole trip, it sure is starting to catch up with me. Still, looking forward to the rest of the adventure!
