48hrs of Driving for 2 days of Tennis (Indian Wells) March 2011

This is what happens when you put 2 tennis fans together with 5 days off work and school. My best friend Jason and I decided to rent a small RV and drive from Vancouver to Indian Wells California. We drove through the night and 24hrs later arrived in San Bernardino where we took a shower at my cousins place and spent the night in the parking lot. Dodging rush hour traffic through Oakland was nothing compared to dodging furniture lying in the middle of the highway. Swerving out in a RV left me speechless for a couple of hours.

 



It was the first time either of us drove or lived in a RV and we both agreed that it was the best but maybe not the cheapest way to do this trip. A lot of the time on the road was spent with me singing songs and drinking lots of Lime Perrier. We got to our location in one piece, except for hitting an awning as we entered the tennis grounds.

It was perfect - meeting up with my awesome friend Jen and her mom carrying a plate of chocolate chip cookies (my favorite), enjoying the sun and watching some of the best tennis in the world.

 

Highlights:

• Meeting John Isner
• Visiting Berkley University
 

Was it worth it?

Absolutely!
