I haven't lived there since the early 70's though - don't know if I can handle all that humidity now, but most of my family is still there.<br /><br />I have tossed around moving back, but I would miss the mountains, however, not the winters, which I hate. There's too much family drama too, if you get anywhere close, so time will tell.<br /><br />Anyway, loved your story, very descriptive, fun read.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-39635645202526790782012-08-31T06:49:13.283-07:002012-08-31T06:49:13.283-07:00Sounds like an amazing trip.

I've been in the L.A. area for 21 years now and there is still so much around here I haven't seen.<br /><br />Faraway -- I know what you're saying. It's scary when you've been driving and totally lose track of part of that time. I think in those cases I am alert but my mind is also thinking of other things that surpass the memories of what I've actually seen. I also can relate to being in dreamlike places that haunt me later.<br /><br />Sherry -- I wonder the same thing and I do believe they show up in some fashion later in dreams, though perhaps not readily identified with the memories.<br /><br />Jay -- I too have had those realistic dreams, very frequently in fact. I've sometimes even have gotten out of bed to look for something I've dreamed about and then eventually realize I've been dreaming. Dreams can be amazingly real sometimes.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-81387058440164088902012-08-30T20:07:55.420-07:002012-08-30T20:07:55.420-07:00I sometimes experience the opposite.

Some of my dreams are so realistic, I perceive feelings relating to the context of the dreams which are so clear and real that, upon waking up, it takes me a minute or two to realize it didn't actually happen.

YIKES!<br /><br />I do understand that's not exactly what you were talking about here. Driving through places that are spooky dreamscapes can be fun. I often let my imagination run wild and end up scaring my self to death.farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-59263422434586316112012-08-30T15:43:29.446-07:002012-08-30T15:43:29.446-07:00Thought I had followed your blog before.

I've never been there since I've grown up in Northern California. I have parts of this state I haven't explored yet and I'm working on 6 decades here.<br /><br />Best roadtrips are the meandering ones, like you described. My husband and I did this in 1971, on our honeymoon, from the UK to Holland and then down to the Riviera, along to Zagreb, back to Spain and back one summer. Got lost every day. And it was Heaven.Sharon Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733653906932403080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-6102644292336426242012-08-30T04:36:05.568-07:002012-08-30T04:36:05.568-07:00Sometimes I blink hard and take a deep breath to m...Sometimes I blink hard and take a deep breath to make sure I'm awake, as every day here in my new home seems like a dream.Karen Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01522178275164058849noreply@blogger.com
