Partially in celebration of the Big Decision, partially to fulfill a longtime dream, partially to get my wife to stop telling me to get out of the house, I will be taking a baseball trip. Including the White Sox game before the conference and the Cubs game after the conference, I'm planning to hit eleven stadiums in 16 days. Read on for the sordid details.
Here's how the schedule currently looks:
| W Sep 10 | Minnesota AT White Sox |
| R Sep 11 | CONFERENCE |
| F Sep 12 | CONFERENCE |
| S Sep 13 | CONFERENCE |
| S Sep 14 | Cincinnati AT Cubs |
| M Sep 15 | DRIVE TO ST. LOUIS (300mi), Milwaukee AT St. Louis |
| T Sep 16 | DRIVE TO CLEVELAND (600mi) |
| W Sep 17 | Kansas City AT Cleveland |
| R Sep 18 | DRIVE TO PITTSBURGH (150mi), Cincinnati AT Pittsburgh |
| F Sep 19 | DRIVE TO PHILADELPHIA (310mi), Cincinnati AT Philadelphia |
| S Sep 20 | DRIVE TO BALTIMORE (100mi), Toronto AT Baltimore |
| S Sep 21 | DRIVE TO NEW YORK (190mi), Montreal AT Mets, DRIVE TO BOSTON (220mi) |
| M Sep 22 | Baltimore AT Boston |
| T Sep 23 | DRIVE TO TORONTO (550mi) |
| W Sep 24 | Tampa Bay AT Toronto |
| R Sep 25 | DRIVE TO DETROIT (250mi), Minnesota AT Detroit |
| F Sep 26 | DRIVE TO GRAND RAPIDS (160mi) |
| S Sep 27 | GRAND RAPIDS, DRIVE TO CHICAGO (180mi), FLY HOME |
It also struck me that it would be kind of cool to put together a website that accepts a list of parks and dates, and generates a schedule of dates, driving directions, and hotel suggestions. Anyhoo, envy me, or something.

When I'm rich and famous (or when you're rich and famous pcg, and you can pay for everyone) I would like to hit every ball park in the country over the course of a season, and some of them (Fenway, Wrigley) for an entire series. (Cubs/Cards, Sox/Yanks, eg)
That is my dream vacation.
