So... I don't leave until October 30th, BUT there is so much to do between now and then. Pack, plan, pack, appointments, church events, winterize, plan.... and the list goes on. Tonight, I'm spending quality time with an old fashion pencil and paper with my trusty old reliable road atlas... of couse it's the trucker version as I need to get my fill of diesel fumes while on this jouney. I'm doing this the economical way.... staying at truck stops, showers will cost about $5... still cheaper than a hotel!

As a driver, I lack all concepts of the suitability of a road to the size of my vehicle, so thank heavens Bill was there to do all the tricky parts. We started out with him doing the lion's share of the driving, but gradually slid to more 50-50. I ... read more

Here's the first entry to my blog. I've started to collect the things I need to take with me on the airplane tomorrow. 3-way power point, cell phone charger, Hillatreats. Yep, I'm prepared.... read more
