What Up, Vienna? when a girl and a guy from los angeles move their asses halfway across the world

i’d rather be in eerie, indiana (rated r in some parts)

Remember that show?  If I was motivated, I'd link to it now.  I don't seem to be though.  I bet you can Google it.  I have confidence.  Anyhow, I'm not in Eerie, Indiana.  I'm not even sure that place really exists.  You can Google that too. I'm in Erie, PA.  Today was momentous for me.  My first day in Indiana.  My first day in Ohio.  And my first day in Pennsylvania.  I can't say that any of these places have left any lasting impressions on me besides lots of toll paying, that horse we saw in the parking lot in one of those states and and, oh, I guess there isn't a third thing.  Sorry, rule of threes! I tried.

It was a toss-up between staying here or driving 45 minutes more to Buffalo, NY.  We hit some traffic towards the last few miles of Ohio and decided that we were going to just call it a day when we hit Erie.  Now, here we are at the Wingate by Wyndham off I-90.  It's a pretty new hotel.  We got it for $59/night on Hotwire an hour prior to arrival compared to the $95 awesome deal they were offering as their walk-in rate.  The first room they gave us was a smoking room and it smelled like an ashtray what fucked the Marlboro Man.  OR maybe this...  The first room they gave us was a smoking room and it smelled like that exhaling-smoke-from-her-neck lady from Beeetlejuice.   Moving on, so we asked for a second room and we were blessed with a handicapped room which is great because we love to roleplay! (Okay, I'm sorry.  It was funny.  I couldn't help it.  And I have to leave it in because it makes me laugh everytime I read it.)

So, anyhow, we hit the road tomorrow morning and will have a long day driving to Boston (575 miles).  The word is the continental breakfast here has a waffle bar so I think we'll have a good start to our day.  Really, Alex is the one excited about the waffle bar.  Personally, I was impressed by the cheese omelets that the Holiday Inn Express had in Chicago for their continental breakfast.  I don't find anything special in pouring my own waffles.  Doesn't seem so continental.  Hand me a waffle, Wyndham!  Don't be such a dick.

Now, I know we promised pictures.  Alex has promised that he will do the inaugural camera-to-computer picture/video transferring immediately following my posting.  You have things to look forward to.  At the very least, you will get to see the fantastic view we had from our hotel window in downtown Minneapolis at the Radisson Plaza on Saturday night.  You will be jealous.

Okay, that's enough now.  I have to go run a bath so I can get my money's worth out of this place's fine Neutrogena toiletries.

And I would like to note that I just caught Dr. Alexander Platt SLEEPING.  He has been reprimanded.  I got your back.  Stay tuned.
