Day 7 - End of the Road

The journey is nearing the end as Kat and I arrived in Los Angeles last night. I spent yet another agonizing night filled with coughing fits as Kat finally had her first good nights rest on the trip.

We spent the morning watching the annual Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena on TV with a spectacular fly by of a Stealth bomber over my parent's house in Arcadia. Funny enough, we were stuck in traffic for about 10 min last night near Pasadena watching as city organizers moved several Rose Parade floats into position in time for today's parade down the main road.

After dim sum with my dad, we proceeded to unload some of my junk at my parents house. We chose to leave a bit after 2:00 pm in order to miss Rose Bowl (football game) traffic.

After dropping off some car parts at Max's place, we finally arrived in Emeryville. Took about 6 trips to get the rest of Kat's stuff out of the RV and into the apartment.

The trip is over. We're both tired. Spaghetti is being made. Our trip is concluded.

Thanks to everyone that sent IM's, txt msgs, phone calls, emails, comments, all during our trip...it certainly helped during those long stretches of road.
