[108trip] Day 11 "Halfway Over"

Posted by takua108 on July 8, 2006, 2:25 p.m.

So yeah, tomorrow marks the halfway point of my vacation, because I'm going from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to Seattle, Washington. I'm flying alone, which makes me a bit nervous (I had to go to the drivers' license office back home and get a photo ID due to stupid post-9/11 rules). I'll be fine though, because…

I bought two new DS games! In addition to New Super Mario Bros. (which I have beaten entirely, save two hidden exits), I now have Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, and Brain Age. They both have been so far.

I haven't been doing a day-to-day blog the past few days because my Gramps accidentally deleted all of his post-2004 finances in Quicken, and he wouldn't let anyone on the computer, thinking it was me who did it. I'm sneaking on right now, so don't tell [^^]

My CyberNation almost, like, died in my five-day absence I forgot to report. I was away at the Pokanose (spelling?) Lake Resort, and I had a moderately horrible time. I was with my cousin who a.) wouldn't eat anything other than breakfast cereal without the milk, pretzels, and French fries (yes, even when we went out to eat) (he's wierd), b.) the same cousin ruined all television- and movie-watching that occured, due to the fact he has a loud, nerdy voice and constantly talks about entirely unrelated things during the said television- and movie-watching, and c.) the <i>same</i> cousin effectively ruined any fun that would have been had at all of the pools, minigolf courses, and go-cart tracks we went to by pretending to be constipated the whole time. Actually, I think he <i>was</i> constipated, judging by the way he never did much other than play his DS the whole time. Plus, his diet sucks (yes, he always eats that crap; his situation is wierd). Oh yeah, and also, the area I'm staying in has had flooding recently, and because of this, we a.) couldn't drink tap water for the first week (due to contamination), and b.) couldn't go swimming in the lake itself. So all in all, it wasn't very much fun at the lake.

So now I'm off to church, and I'll be in Seattle by tomorrow, weather-permitting.

Sounds like you like your cousin a lot…

I completed super mario bros. It is really easy. Far too easy.

Yeah, it was easy…but there's like two hidden exits I just can't figure out by myself. Curses!
