Road Trip...Leg 1

Well this was our first leg of road trips on the tour, and let me say I hope the rest are MUCH better. We left for Michigan at 6:30AM Tuesday morning and headed out through Pennsylvania and eventually Ohio. About three hours into our trip, well in Penn, I got a speeding ticket. Granted I was speeding, but I was keeping up with traffic (technically people were passing me) and I of course was the only one who got pulled over. *Rolls Eyes* So over $150 later, My ticket is mailed back, but it was stupid and made me drive slow the rest of the way. But to make me feel slightly better there were two other cars pulled over in Penn and they were both from Jersey...I think someone is jealous. As I'm sure I mentioned before, my best friend lives in Michigan (on the way to Auburn Hills) so we finally got to her apartment around 6:30 and stayed for dinner. We finally checked into the hotel near the arena close to 10pm and recovered from the eternal day. The next day we visited with family of my friend's until it was show time. Show review down below... After the show we packed and hit bed pretty early for the looooooong (12+ hours withOUT stopping) drive on Thursday. Thursday morning we left at check out around 11:30 and after a (thankfully) boring trip on the world's longest and most deserted and darkest road (RT 80 ESPECIALLY the 300+ miles through Pennsylvania) we got back to my house around 1:30 AM. Talk about a long day.I have officially sworn off Pennsylvania (knowing full well that I'm going back to Philly on Tues). Friday morning (today, I think, LOL) I got up early from school and went right to work, where I am now. I'm SO ready to crash (with a half dozen papers to write before Monday) before my chaos week begins. Five concerts, four Bon Jovi, in seven days and work and school. Not to mention I just entered for the Soul concert tix Wednesday so I will hopefully make it six in seven. I may need a full month off to recover. So who's going to Philly let me know. I can't wait, I'm already two shows in and trying to control myself not to upgrade to pit tickets. *Sigh* They're that good.
