Thanks a lot for your reply. I'm currently reajusting my plan (dropping SLC and Orlando gives me extra time to do Yosemite & one more day in New Orleans, I might add another Natural Park in there somewhere). My brother lives in Dallas and I will see if we can do something else together. I would love to surf your couch in Oakland and will keep you updated on my journey, will you be there between 6-11 August ? I'm not sure yet which day I might arrive but it should be between those dates. The MoMa seems a great idea!
Hey buddy, I wanted to follow up on your trip stuff. A couple of my friends are going to be in town the exact dates you are (they were coming later before, but had to move their dates up), so I sort of will have a packed house. I definitely can find space to offer if you need it, can't find a couch to surf or whatnot, you def won't get left out in the cold, I just have an extra layer to manage now, unexpectedly and wanted to keep you up to date on that.
