I got back from my wonderful trip at 10:30 Sunday night and I have been working on writing a summary of sorts of the adventure. I’ll cut to the chase and share what happened on this journey:
Friday, May 11: Left Fargo at 9ish with a car full of suits, snacks, and energy drinks and got my way all the way to Milwaukee Wisconsin, a mere 9 hours of driving. While there, I met up with  jyno and had a pretty amazing night. We headed off to an Amazing little restaurant where we sat on the roof with three other really cool people. I wish I could remember the name of the restaurant, or the name of the people, but the only one I remember is  venaul, who suggested a beer that was definitely the best beer I have ever had, the Gulden Draak. After dinner, we headed to the shore of lake Michigan and went to a bonfire on the beach. It was a fun night of making new friends, reconnecting with old acquaintances, and getting scarred from a very drunk woman XD with the fire, the stars, the hookah, and the people, I didn’t want the night to end, but at around 5 am, I finally flopped into bed and slept.
Saturday, May 12: Slept until 7, when I got up, showered, said goodbye to Jyno (who apparently didn’t wake up, even though he said goodbye too XD), stopped at Dunkin Donuts, and went on my way. After a slight change in destination, I drove 7 hours to Cincinnati, and arrived just at the bowling alley that the furmeet was at just before everyone else did. I had a blast suiting in DBag and bowling horribly. I met with  thereddog,  grixfox,  eleete,  nightprowler, and  revit, as well as many many more. It was a lot of fun, though I was absolutely exhausted. We headed out to a weird ass chili place, Gold Star Chili, and though I didn’t eat much, I still crave it cuz it was good. I got to spend time talking with Tora, Revit, and others, and it was a blast. That evening I went to Grix’s place and we played classic Nintendo games, chatted, and I crashed early from exhaustion.
Sunday, May 13: Slept in a little, played some games, and went to lunch with Grix at Big Boy. I was hoping to go to Cedar Point that day, but it just wasn’t in the cards. I enjoyed the day, however, as it was very nice just talking with Grix and learn about him. I was very happy I got to know him better. Such a nice guy (and what a cuuuuute suit!). In the afternoon I headed off to Dayton, and met with Satorii at his place of work. It was fun to meet him, and to play some games at his place that I know he was passionate about, and went to dinner at a little bar that was pretty darn good.
Monday, May 14: Played games, hung out, and went to Jungle Jims, the best grocery store EVER. Really this day was pretty simple, but nice to kinda relax after all the driving that I had done in previous days. We got some amazing food at the store, and had a fun night back at Satorii’s place.
Tuesday, May 15: CEDAR POINT! What an Amazing day!! I got Satorii to ride ALL the rides, which was a feat because he had never done one, and he was scared out of his mind. But it was really awesome to connect with him there, to share some cool experiences, and see him get more excited about something that I love. Some great memories were had there, and I’m happy I got this trip. The lines were non-existent, the weather was perfect, and the company was great. The day was magical.
Wednesday, May 16th: Headed out to Michigan to meet  narf1070. We ate some… interesting… Moroccan food, watched Archer late into the night, and got to spend a little time connecting.
Thursday, May 17th: Got to explore Ann Arbor with Narf and his friend, and did fun things like go to an arcade, have bubble tea, and explore the town on foot (twice XD ). Due to a change of plans, I decided to head down to Dayton again and spend time with Satorii. We spent the evening together, talked, played games, and had a pretty good night.
Friday, May 18th: Spent the morning with Satorii, before heading to Indianapolis to visit Tora and Eleete. That evening I got to eat some Amazing sushi, and meet  mtendotheskunk, and we ended the evening chatting and playing with liquid nitrogen with Revit.
Saturday, May 19th: Looking back, this was probably my favorite day for a few reasons. Breakfast was a great greek omelette, with excellent company. The furmeet/cookout was a blast, and I LOVED suiting at it. I met so many cool people, and found it a good meet to connect with others on. After that, we went to Tora’s place and continued the fun. It was a blast meeting new people, especially  stormhusky, suiting late into the night, snuggling, and talking under the stars by a fire. Funny how the trip started and ended in sort of the same way. Oh yeah… and Irish Car Bombs XD For some reason that night had a great impact on me, and though I wasn’t expecting it to end up the way it did, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sunday, May 20th: Got up, had a great little meal with my friends, and headed off on a 15 hour drive home. Lots of time for self-reflection, and letting all the stuff from the previous week soak in. I was so happy to finally get home and crash in my bed.
Thank you all who made this trip as aMAYzing as it was! I was hoping to have an adventure, to meet new people… to spend time with those I had never actually spent time with in person… and it was a wonderful success.
If I met you, shout here! Let me know a good memory you have of when we might have chatted, spent time together, or anything else! I really would love to hear what others have to say, or see what I missed in my summary =3
