We made it! Well, to our first stop at least. Nothing too eventful today, some last minute stuff around Atlanta an oil change, last minute supplies, etc. Then lunch with Rachel (my closest friend in Atlanta and up until approximately 24 hours ago my roommate) at the Midway for one last EAV outing then Max and I got on the road.
The drive wasn't bad at all, about 7 and a half hours including a couple stops for gas and to let Max and I could get out and run around for a minute. I have only been living in Atlanta for a year but during that time I totally forgot that there were places that didn't have heavy traffic all the time, everyday, everywhere. So, really it was the easiest drive I've had in a while since I didn't even once feel the desire to roll down my window and yell at (or even quietly judge from the safety of my car) any of the drivers around me.
So, now here I am in Nola with some lovely friends from college who are letting me and Max stay with them in their awesome apartment in an old Victorian house in the Garden District. Everyone has to work tomorrow so I'll be showing myself around the area for part of the day but the activities we have planned for their after work hours sound pretty great, but you'll just have to wait til tomorrow to hear about them.
Here's a few pics from our first day of driving:
