first leg of 2009 trip

---

Bob and I spent two weeks in Mystic in July, minding the grandchildren for 8 of those days -- all by ourselves. We then recuperated for the remainder of the second week plus Bob tried to finish up making some improvement to the Bigfoot RV. We'd had to leave for Connecticut before all the work had been done. Then we spent a couple of days with one of his sisters near Reading, PA and then home.

Our two kitties, Jasmine and Becky, were a delight on the trip, just great travelers. I'm understanding better and better why older people get pets, not kids (unless they are little goats).

Our new(ish) Bigfoot is great! We can pass each other in the aisle and can pick up the soap we dropped in the shower. What luxury!

Our next adventure begins in mid-September for about five weeks, mostly in Ontario, plus getting there and back. That will be our REAL vacation.

Paula and Bob
