Business Stop(s): West Virginia University and University of Pennsylvania

Mode(s) of transportation: Rental Car (Dodge Avenger) - not bad.

Eats: Ugh... fast food everywhere, nothing to speak of.

Memorable Moment(s): 2am arrival followed by 8am meet-up

This was perhaps the stupidest (call it naivete in the new job) road trip for me to take. I left the house at 8am on the 17th, drove 4 hours to Morgantown, WV for an AY demonstration at WVU. Got back on the road around 4:30, drove to Owings Mills, MD to attend a rehearsal of Pippin, which I was directing (I arrived late, around 8:30; rehearsal ended at 10... I was not useful!). Then, left Owings Mills to drive 2.5 hours to Philadelphia... got to the hotel just before 2am (traffic, can you believe it?!). Had to get up at 7 to meet my colleagues at 8 for a presentation at 9. Back on the road around noon to drive to Silver Spring to pick up magic tricks for Pippin, then back to Laurel to drop off the car and finally got home around 7pm. Never again... I swear it!
