Homeward Bound January 21-29, 2014

---

After Quartzsite we were Homeward Bound. Our first stop was Tucson where we stayed from the 21st to the 27th. We needed the RV serviced one more time to catch the things they were unable to get to before. While it was in service we went to visit Jim and Connie who were hosting a mini Alaskan Reunion. Several of the people on the Alaska trip winter in Arizona. Six couples of the 21 were able to attend. It was great to see everyone again and catch up on what we were all up to. Of course, we were the only couple who haven't been home yet.

Saturday and Sunday we were able to get together with all our Tucson friends.

Monday we stayed in Las Cruces. Tuesday we got to Fort Stockton. Wednesday we pulled into our driveway in Lago Vista at 7pm.

Pat's closing thoughts: "What an unbelievable way to be able to celebrate this new chapter in our lives. I am looking so forward to seeing all the wondrous sights this nation has to offer with my best friend."

Bernadette's closing thoughts: "Dreams do come true. I am in awe at how blessed we are. Thanks be to God."

Leisel's closing thoughts: "I am sure that if I got left somewhere I could follow all the scents I have left and find my way home."

Thanks to all of you who have made this journey with us. Christ's peace and blessings be with you.

As we were planing our route we realized the freeze had burst a fitting to the Fridge, and water was pouring from under the Fridge.
