Goodbye L.A. - I will miss / but not this 1/5
I WILL NOT MISS: Being able to do a select number of things in a day because there are too many cars and not enough road space. Its one headache I’m happy to lose.

Shooo the secret is out. I know it’s kind of insane to be moving to the hottest location in the United States during the summer time, but thats how we roll. One more week and Ernesto, The Monster and I pack up our life in Los Angeles and hit pedel for the 5 hour drive to Phoenix, Arizona.

All Packed, Maine I'll see you in the morning!
To keep myself from excessively packing for my 1-week trip to Maine, I created a list and tried to stick with it (kinda). This has become a regular thing for me to red-eye it when traveling across the country.
