The 2600 mile trip begins! (June 14, 2024)

We arrived at ABIA at 3:30 a.m. for our 5:35 a.m. flight to Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina, where Ryder, Brandy, Piper, and Willoughby picked us up.
Our Day #1 goal was to drive 300 miles from Asheville to Nashville. Luckily for us, all but about 10 miles of our trip would be on the I-40 and the I-5 from Bakersfield to Moraga in California. Except that we skirted Bakersfield on US 58 for I'm not sure how many miles. We hit all eight states that I-40 runs through: North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas (right past Atkins, where Tom's father grew up), Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California.
Our convoy. Ryder will lead in the Penske. I'll follow in Mya's Subaru. Tom will be behind me in Ryder's Ram pickup. So helpful for Tom to be behind me as Mya's car was packed to the ceiling and I couldn't use the rearview mirror to change lanes.
Brandy, kids, Willoughby, and Mylo stayed behind. Ryder, Willoughby, and maybe Mya will take Brandy's car cross country from July 5-8. The rest of the family will fly to San Francisco on July 5.
