Final Farewell Tour #2

Our 6,400 mile road trip begins soon. We really didn’t have much time to prepare for this last minute trip but we are so excited to just hit the road. Michael mentioned the other day that we need to push ourselves to do more road trips while I am still well enough to handle the traveling. Good point.

The medications, portable oxygen system, maps, reservations, wedding clothing are all ready to go. I just washed and ironed our traveling clothes and they are on William’s bed ready to be packed.

We still need our haircut and my nail, toenails and eyebrows done. We still have dentist and glaucoma doctor appointments. We also need to get cash from the bank. We will travel with $2,000 cash to cover gas and food and we will charge all the hotel stays. We are hoping the price of gas is cheaper than here in California. Ouch!

We are also bringing the most amazing local jam with us as presents to everyone we visit along the way. My brother also requested Dried Monterey Jack Cheese – something they can’t get in New Mexico. We will be spending the second day with them at their home playing pinball and eating chicken topped with the famous New Mexico green chilies. It will be fun just to spend some time with them.

So, we begin the final countdown to another road trip. Our Final Farewell Trip #2. I hope there will be many more.
