Monday, September 30, 2013 - Myrtle, SC to Savannah, GA

I'd taken a lot of rolls of film between home and Myrtle Beach and planned to send this days films off at the end of the day FedEx to the Lab for processing. I can't wait to see the results. It's been very exciting and challenging to do this trip and keep up with all of the great shots going by from my view in the car. Oh yeah, life is therapy, but when you're in a really nice hotel - Work OUT!

On route to Savannah, we chanced on another great lunch place called McClellanville Diner. We took our food down to another park on an inlet and ate with the No-See-'ems and the Spanish Moss (don't ever touch it - it's got bugs in it!).

Here's everybody.

Sunday, October 29, 2013 - Norfolk, VA to Myrtle Beach, SC

Getting to Norfolk was pretty cool. We had just taken the Ferry and then we went through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. From Norfolk, VA, we set out on Sunday for Myrtle Beach, SC. We covered a lot of miles that day. We generally start out pretty fresh and roll in to our scheduled town around dinner time. We do stop every few hours for a stretch and I've been getting a lot of really great shots.

Team B. Nice all have their different jobs and we work together really well. On our way to Myrtle Beach we had a great lunch break down by the water in Washington, NC.

You can see the weather has been cooperating too. Sunny skies can be tricky for photography, but we'll work with it.

We arrived at the hotel when it was already dark. Man, some of these days are long, but we're making good tracks. Next morning we cruised up and down North Ocean Boulevard to see the big hotels and catch a peak at the Atlantic Ocean between them.

Saturday, September 28, 2013 - Cape May, NJ to Norfolk, VA

Today we did Cape May to Norfolk, Virginia. So we started in New Jersey, went through Delaware and ended up in Virginia! Here we are on the Boardwalk of Spring Lake, NJ

Had a nice lunch and met a woman who shared some experiences she's having dealing with TBI. She saw us an immediately knew there was something was special about our crew. It was great to meet her.

On the Ferry we met another woman who had seen information about our trip on Twitter. Pretty cool. We're making connections across the country.

September 27, 2013 - Cape May

Hi everybody. Well, we left today for our big road trip. Yesterday was kind of interesting. My mother got me a massage, a nice relaxing massage. In the middle of the massage. The therapist that was giving the massage picked up the phone. It was a reverse 911 call. The call said, "Lock up all your doors and windows. There is a murderer on the loose." Then the house was surrounded by helicopters. My neigbor's dog was barking and my dad ran into the room with a loaded shotgun and said, "Everything is under control." Well, I immediately wanted to pee in my pants. Is this going to be the start of what my trip is going to be like? You can't make this stuff up. Anyway, that was yesterday. They never did catch the guy, so I'm glad we left.

Today was the first day of our road trip. It went real good, but you know, I realize how messed up I am. Doing everyday things is really difficult. But like I said, Life is Therapy, so I carry on.

Anyway, I'll keep these blogs short. We're at Cape May right now, in New Jersey. Tomorrow will be a big day because we catch a ferry, take a bridge. I'll talk to you guys later. This is B. Nice & Team B. Nice signing off. Talk to you tomorrow. Love, B. Nice

September 24, 2013 - Almost gone

Hi you guys! Hey, we're getting ready for our trip. Got the car cleaned. I'm ready to go. It's pretty cool actually cause you know, I'm breaking my routine. Remember, when you have TBI, life becomes therapy. Like I said before, just because your therapy ends, you don't stop. Keep going. It's really important. How else are you gonna get better? Sit around and watch TV? Anyway, it's been pretty exciting getting ready for the ultimate road trip. I basically have a production editor, a filmmaker, two childhood friends that will drive and help me out, and Mom, who's well, mom. It's all gonna be fun. Oh, Dad will be here to hold down the fort with our dog. He's not coming on the trip. But check it out! I got an article in the NYTimes. My friend here will include a link. http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/09/24/double-vision-mirrored-in-photographs/?smid=pl-share

I hope you have a good week. We'll let you know from the road where we're at.

Love, B. Nice

P.S. I think it's important I tell you I'm definitely not where I thought I would be. I thought, a few years ago, I'd be better off by now. I'm still a mess, but it'll make it even more of a challenge. I just wanted to share that with you. Don't forget to check out the NYTimes article. Yo, if the link doesn't work for some reason, you can always google: lens.blog.brian.nice. That works. See you next week. Love, B. Nice
