We are on the road again. Started today by driving from Miami to Savannah (I 95 all the way… easy peasy) and Chuck and I actually got a swim in. I like us to jump and move around a lot after sitting in the car for 6 hours 21 minutes with 2 stops for gas. I make sandwiches. Today was egg salad. YUM! we pretty much focused on driving as wanting to get to Boone tomorrow and have a week with friends Mark and Karla before beginning the big trek west! This year we skipped the National convention of submariners from all over the nation and all submarines as our Italian friends wanted to come visit Miami at the same time as the National Convention and go on a cruise and well….. if you know Susie like I know Susie…. Oh Oh Oh cruise!!! oh what a treat! But we are going to the reunion of the guys on Chuck and Rick Hartman’s boat The Quillback. and 2 other boats. So there will be fewer guys but the venue is river walk San Antonio! We are in a hotel on the river walk and I am sure we will do a lot of walking along the river. Been there. Done that. This year after the reunion we will head west to the Grand Canyon. I reserved a room for 2 nights on the south rim. I will write about the trip along Interstate route 40 which in many places is set on top of or right beside Route 66. Will also go to Alamogordo, New Mexico to visit friends Joe and Colleen who also have a house in Big Pine Key but they moved as Colleen got a great job offer on the other side of the world (New Mexico). She promises to show us White Sands and other desert delights. Will stop in Flagstaff to visit my grand niece Erika and her 3 little girls, also on heading home will probably go up to Santa Fe and take the Santa Fe trail and route 66/I40 back home. All this in 5 weeks as I like to be "home for Hallowe’en." I like to feed the little ghosties and goblins who come along our street in Miami. So… as Chuck and I begin our "Grand" Adventure we wish you a happy, safe autumn. Look up, count the clouds, birds, roses…. whatever, all made by God. And Thank God! God bless you!
