After an 80hr bus trip and three changes I am vowing to learn to drive and never travel via greyhound again. Now I've been able to put my stuff in the closet, sleep and eat something that's not greyhound station food I'm feeling slightly more human.

What's up OC? I'm Christy.

Provided I didn't get lost by UPS, which might have been a very real risk. But yeah, provided I'm still broke by the time I'm done in OC I'll just George-of-the-Jungle myself to the next place I decide to go.

I am, thanks. Don't really wanna use a bus any time soon.

I've not gone far from my motel, to be honest, I am only feeling slightly more human, not sure I'm fit for public consumption yet.

	But then wouldn't it just be an adventure? Maybe an unscheduled one, but still. That's another downside to travel, it's so expensive. The good thing is that walking around here isn't too bad. It's nice and there's usually close by places to rest. Maybe a few more days, a good night or two rest. Plenty of sunshine! The sun always helps! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	True, do you think I'd be able to make a claim to get my own postage back if I ended up in Alaska? I'm looking forward to trying some of the foody places here. It's totally different to where I lived before. I need to get some sunscreen before I spend too much time outside otherwise I'll fry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Absolutely! You'd have proof of the entire journey. Although I think Alaska is lovely and you'd end up liking it maybe? Where was that? If you like seafood, the closer you get to the pier, the better it is. It's very important! I forgot my first week here and wow, that was terrible! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've never been, actually. I mean, I travelled a lot but it wasn't really a sightseeing kinda thing. Oh, I've been all over. I lived outside OC for a while but I was last in New York. Gotta admit, I've not tried much seafood other than fish. Anything you suggest I should try? I don't want to get sunburned :/ So, I guess I better go to CVS. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I've stopped there twice on a trip with family, so it wasn't a long visit but it's so nice.

This has got to be a huge change from New York though. There's some awesome sushi places, and they do a good taster dish for people new to sushi, and there's a lovely place in Newport Beach with so many fresh dishes. They have the best shrimp cocktail.

Yes, you defo should! And slowly work putting on sunscreen into your daily routine :)

	Well, I lived outside of OC for a couple of years in a ~~group home~~ big house but we didn't really do outings as such. Sounds ~~expensive~~ like I should check it out, thanks :) Haha, yeah. I'll go to CVS now. I'm Christy, btw. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nice to meet you, Blossom. That's such a pretty name! Thanks, I'm getting a phone tomorrow so I'll text you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
