Three weeks traveling

        Monday, September 8, 2014


  Beginning next week, Bill and I will fly to Denver and then rent a car and make a huge circle exploring the West and parts of Canada.  Our granddaughter Sarah, wrote in her last high school English paper the regrets that some people may have about not savoring the last time they may do something.  She mentioned the last time you hold your baby on your hip or rock your baby to sleep as examples of last times that may go unnoticed at the time.   Well, this may be the last time Bill and I take an extended trip out west, so I decided to write a blog to remember it in detail.

We have traveled to Yellowstone and the Rockies many times and absolutely love visiting these unique spots.  It is always a spiritual experience.  Bill loves to drive so we shall travel many hundreds of miles exploring some familiar and some new locations. 

One bag and 1 carry-on will challenge my fortune telling skills in predicting what to pack but I'm up for the challenge.  Starting the laundry and packing today.

We are fortunate to have house sitters so we can leave and return with no worries about our mail, lawn care or "surprises".  Makes traveling much easier.
