Our start time is December 20, 2008 at exactly 2:00pm. The car is gassed and loaded, and we are chock full of maps, thanks to AAA. As I ignite the engine, we realize that neither of us knows how to get out of LA on the proper freeway. Naomi wants to phone a friend, but I quickly reject that out of sheer embarrassment.
Several minutes later, we figure it out, but are then stopped in Silverlake gridlock. This gives Naomi time to practice how to say "Los Feliz." I recite the Eighteen Ways Our Trip Might Suck as reported by Ronen.
It takes fifteen minutes to reach the freeway, which is less than a mile away. More traffic in Pasadena! Great start!
