Today I am starting my long journey to California.

今天，我開始了我漫長的加州之旅。

I'm starting in Tampa, Florida  and i'll end up in LA county in about four days.

我從佛羅里達州的坦帕市出發，四天後到洛杉磯縣。

Actually like five days because I started today, Friday afternoon, and I'll end up in California Tuesday evening.

其實像五天，因為我今天開始，週五下午，我會在週二晚上結束在加州。

I decided to do this because right now since the pandemic is  going on, I've been working from home  

我決定這樣做，因為現在自從大流行以來，我一直在家裡工作。

for the last two months... or more than two months  now I guess since mid-March and today is June 5th.

在過去的兩個月裡... 或者說兩個多月了，我想從3月中旬開始，今天是6月5日。

So I figured since it's indefinite right now, why not just take a road trip to California and stay with Candy for a bit.

所以我想，既然現在不確定，何不乾脆去加州旅行，和Candy住上一段時間。

I've always wanted to take a road trip cross country and especially with Kuma.

我一直想來一次越野旅行，尤其是和隈研吾一起旅行。

I forgot to mention I'm with Kuma.

忘了說，我和隈研吾是一夥的。

I'm driving solo with Kuma, so there are some challenges because I have to look for proper hotels, but i'll get to that in a second.

我和Kuma一起單獨開車，所以有一些挑戰，因為我必須尋找合適的酒店，但我將在第二時間到達。

I mapped out my drive the entire way. As usual, I love creating itineraries so this road trip was no different.

我把我的駕車路線全程繪製了出來。和往常一樣，我喜歡制定行程，所以這次公路旅行也不例外。

Everyday, I planned how far I would drive and since I have Kuma, I thought 10 hours max a day.

每天，我都計劃著要開多遠的路，因為我有庫瑪，所以我想每天最多開10個小時。

Each day I'll be driving 450 to 600 miles and that equals about 7 hours to 9.5 hours a day.

每天我都要開450到600英里，相當於每天7小時到9.5小時左右。

My stops that I'll be making... First, I'm stopping in Pensacola and that's about a 7-hour drive

我的行程是... ... 首先，我要在彭薩科拉停留，大約有7個小時的車程。

but I actually add an hour to that because I take a few stops and let Kuma stretch her legs a little bit.

但實際上，我增加了一個小時，因為我花了幾站時間，讓隈隈伸展一下她的腿。

Then next is Houston.

那麼接下來就是休斯頓了。

Then from Houston, I will be going to Fort Stockton.

然後從休斯頓出發，我將去斯托克頓堡。

Ideally, I wanted El Paso to be my next stop but  it was just way too long from Houston  

理想情況下，我想把埃爾帕索作為我的下一站，但從休斯敦到這裡實在是太遠了。

so I figured Fort Stockton would do.

所以我想斯托克頓堡會做。

That's in Texas.

那是在德州。

And then from there, Tucson, Arizona and finally California.

然後從那裡到亞利桑那州的圖森，最後到加州。

I called each hotel I planned on staying at just to make sure, one, they were open and two, that they were pet friendly for sure

我打電話給每個酒店，我計劃住在只是為了確保，一，他們是開放的，二，他們是寵物友好的肯定。

and I also wanted to check how much the pet fees were for each place.

而且我還想看看每個地方的寵物費是多少。

In Pensacola I am staying with my friend. I have lots of friends in Pensacola.

在彭薩科拉，我和我的朋友住在一起。我有很多朋友在彭薩科拉。

I wish I could see everybody while I'm there but I need to really get going on the road and hit the points I want to at certain times.

我希望在那裡的時候能看到大家，但我需要真正上路，在某些時候打出自己想要的分數。

Anyway, it's going to be a good time. I'll see her for one night and then I have to head on out early in the morning to Houston.

無論如何，這將是一個好時機。我將看到她一個晚上，然後我必須頭 在早期的早晨到休斯頓。

I've also mapped out where all the Whataburgers were on the road trip because I love Whataburger.

我還繪製了旅途中所有的Whataburger的位置，因為我喜歡Whataburger。

It's my favorite fast food restaurant and it's not even the burgers that I love. I actually like the chicken and gravy.

這是我最喜歡的快餐店，我愛的甚至不是漢堡。其實我喜歡的是雞肉和肉汁。

The chicken strips and gravy. My absolute favorite.

雞條和肉汁。我的絕對喜愛。

This drive - the first day of driving - I'm not going to stop by Whataburger

這次開車--開車的第一天--我不打算在Whataburger停一下。

because I packed some food that is a little bit more healthy

因為我打包了一些食物 這是一個更健康一點的

because  I know I'm going to be eating super crappy on the road trip.

因為我知道我將會在旅途中吃得超級爛。

It's super easy to drive in Florida. They have plenty of restaurants, plenty of nice restroom stops.

在佛羅里達州開車超級容易。 他們有很多餐廳，有很多漂亮的洗手間站。

If you're beginning on I-10 or if you're beginning in south Florida and then going west on I-10

如果你從I-10公路開始，或者從佛羅里達南部開始，然後在I-10公路上向西行駛。

Busy Bee is the gas station to stop at in Florida.

忙碌的蜜蜂是在佛羅里達州要停靠的加油站。

It's awesome. It's huge. It's 20,000 square feet

這是真棒。它的巨大。它的20,000平方英尺

and they're most well known for their very clean bathrooms.

而他們最出名的是他們非常乾淨的浴室。

I mean these bathrooms are so nice.

我的意思是這些浴室是如此的好。

They have nice light fixtures and nice granite tiles and you have your own stall

他們有漂亮的燈具和漂亮的花崗岩瓷磚 你有自己的攤位

and they clean it constantly.

他們不斷地清理它。

It's spic and span clean.

They also have tons of candy, which i'm not really big on, but it's kind of fun for kids to see all that candy and the huge candy wall that they have.

他們也有噸的糖果，我不是真的大，但它是一種有趣的孩子看到所有的糖果和巨大的糖果牆，他們有。

They also have homemade fudge and beef jerky.

他們還有自制的軟糖和牛肉乾。

They have their own specialty goods too and a gift shop.
