8 More Sleeps and AWAY WE GO!


Most of the planning for our trip is completed. Hotels and condos are now booked, the GPS has been programmed, the car has been checked, we have our travel insurance, all in all we are ready to go.

Leaving early Sunday Feb 8, we will travel three days to get to Marionville Missouri to visit with Rosella's sister.

We will then take 11 days (via Amarillo Texas, Albuquerque and Santa Fe New Mexico, Denver Colorado, Salt lake City Utah, and Reno Nevada) to get to San Francisco where we have a condo booked for a week. Then its on to Los Angeles for a week, Las Vegas for a week and Phoenix Arizona where we will stay from March 16 to April 16th. After that, we head for San Diego for a week and then travel 5 days to get to Chicago for a week, onto Washington DC for a visit with the Obama's and then return home around mid-May.

We are getting anxious to leave for this great adventure which for us is a trip of a lifetime.

We will keep you posted from time to time by updating our Blog.

Ever since I was a little boy watching a TV program called "Route 66", I have dreamed of driving to California. Well, this year is our 40th wedding anniversary so Rosella and I decided that we would take a 14 week road trip to California to commemorate this important milestone in our life together. We leave on Feb 8th and will take until Feb 26th to get to San Francisco via Portland Maine, Buffalo New York, Indianapolis Indiana, Marionville Missouri, Amarillo Texas, Albuquerque and Santa Fe New Mexico, Denver Colorado, Salt Lake City Utah, and Reno Nevada. In San Francisco we have a condo rented for a week. We then spend a week in Los Angeles, a week in Las Vegas followed by a month stay in Phoenix Arizona. We then head to San Diego for a week before working our way back to Chicago for a week, then on to Washington DC with the Obama's for a week followed by our return home in mid-May via Amish country in Pennsylvania.
