Heading West

Everything that could possibly go wrong with Raft3r's summer US vacation has already happened.

One of our travel buddies backed out. She was the reason why I said yes to this trip in the first place.

Thank you for abandoning Raft3r.

I thought of canceling the trip but my ticket was non-refundable. Re-booking came with several restrictions and a hefty fee.

Damn it.

My (SFO based) best friend who was supposed to be my designated driver for the entire trip has selfishly accepted a job in Australia and will depart the US in April.

Thank you for abandoning Raft3r. That Calvin Klein leather jacket is all MINE.

I now have no place to stay and would need to readjust my travel budget.

Would someone be nice enough to adopt Raft3r while he is in sunny California?

I wash dishes really well.
