I'm Gonna Be 500 Miles

canyonwalkerThis morning we're headed to San Diego to pick up our new car. After saying goodbye to Hawkgirl last night and temporarily becoming a one-car family we'll soon make it two. But before our second garage has an occupant there's quite a busy day-trip to complete.
It's nearly a 500 mile trek this morning, most of it flying, to San Diego. From there we'll Lyft ~30 miles north to Encinitas, CA, where the car dealership we've bought the car from is, then pick up our car— hopefully with minimal drama. Once the car's in our possession it's still a drive of over 450 miles home. Right now it's about 8am and we'll leave for the airport by 9. If all goes well we'll be home by 11pm tonight. If all doesn't go well, well... we've already considered contingency plans.
BTW, for those who don't recognize the lyrics above, it's a slight riff on the chorus from "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers.
We'll see how this same-day journey of 1,000 miles unfolds. We leave for the airport in just under an hour.

I would fly 500 miles
And I would drive 500 more
Just to be the man who rolls 1,000 miles
To park a new car beyond my garage door.
