Frank's Blog: SF to NYC Day 0.5: See ya later San Francisco

It finally hit me, when I took one last look at the apartment all packed up and dark, this will be the last time I see it in person. I now had to actually saw goodbye to the wonderful, spacious, and fucking awesome home E and I have created and lived in for the past year and a half. And now I really had to say goodbye to this fucking awesome city I have been living in for the past 2 and a half years. San Francisco, The City by the Bay. There are too many things that make this city and northern California my favorite so I will do my best to list off some of them (sorry if I leave some out): Yosemite, Big Sur, Golden Gate Bridge, burritos, Sequoias, Red Woods, Burning Man, the weather, all the camping, $1 oysters, Tahoe, skiing Tahoe, wig parties, all the weird parties, wine, cheese, Pride, AT&T park, B2B, OSL, the homeless, the hidden gems, the victorians, and all the wonderful people I have met. I can very much see myself living here again for a much more extended period of time, sorry ma. I am fortunate enough to have traveled a little bit and so far for me nothing beats northern California. So I like to think of this as just a see ya later SF, I'll be coming back soon.

I will not see the blondie for 4 weeks so it seemed only fitting that we finished how we started when we first moved in together. Eating dinner on a towel in the living room watching Netflix because we had no furniture. While we won't be starting from scratch we will have to adjust our home decor to fit the likely shoebox we will be living in New York City when we move. Great, can't wait.

For those of you who don't know I was recently accepted to a post bacc premed program in New York and will begin class this September. It is a two year program to prepare and help me get into Medical school. So, basically I will be cramming for the next two years and have no life. Because I will be drastically changing my lifestyle for the next likely, forever, I thought it should be best to sneak in a quick outdoor adventure, one I have always wanted to do.

For the next 15 days I will be driving solo cross country from SF to NYC. I will be making stops in 10 places visiting friends and camping. See the links and list below of the trip. I would love to hear of any places I should hit up along my route or if you just want to keep my from going cray cray driving by myself give me a call!

Hope to see you soon.
