Itinerary for the runaway

Even though I'm likely to have little actual internet access throughout most of my trip, I'm going to plan to write and share about the trip in bits and pieces.

The goal of my 10 days away from chaos is to unplug, but for me unplugging often involves writing. I don't know what to expect or what I'll even write about, and that's kind of the joy of a trip like this. I will be experiencing new and different things in every location. Life has been chaotically leading up to this trip at a crazy pace for months. In just the past month, I've begun work on my house as I prepare to sell it after 6 years, I've started house hunting and packing up all that I own, and I have shifted roles at work after two years in the same role on the same account. It's been quite a ride, and I'm ready to wander away from it all for a bit.


My tentative itinerary is as follows:

• 10/5 Day 1: Fly to Vegas (overnight in Vegas) 
• 10/6 Day 2: Drive Las Vegas to Zion (camp) 
• 10/7 Day 3: Zion National Park (camp)
• 10/8 Day 4: Drive to Bryce Canyon (camp)
• 10/9 Day 5: Drive to/stay in Escalante (overnight in a hotel in town) 
• 10/10 Day 6: Drive to Capitol Reef (camp)
• 10/11 Day 7: Drive to Monument Valley (camp)
• 10/12 Day 8: Monument Valley to Grand Canyon (camp)
• 10/13 Day 9: Grand Canyon to Vegas (overnight in Vegas)
• 10/14 Day 10: Return to Atlanta
