On my way to Las Vegas, and the Chicago area, and Toroweap. The weather is different everywhere. There’s a dress up event for the 40th reunion (not too fancy), hiking at Starve Rock, and camping after I return. So I’m packing for totally different activities. Thank goodness I can leave the camp gear behind.
It’s a five hour drive to Vegas. I’m taking my brother and wife out to dinner. Then fly out at 1am. What was I thinking to take the red-eye?
I’m fighting a cold which I have to believe is on its way out. I believe knock-out pills would be in order for the four hour flight. When I land at 6:30am Central time my body will be at 4:30am Arizona time. First order will be a quadruple-almond-mocha-latte on the way to the car rental.
On the way to my friend’s house where I’ll be staying, about 70 miles out of the city, I’ll wander thru the old suburban neighborhoods. If I can recognize them, or even find them, as I see on Maps a whole lot of new freeways and tollroads. Note to self: carry small bills.
Taking the netbook, and cameras of course, so am hoping to post along the way.
Have a good time!!
Not only have a good time but keep us informed. I take it you are on Winter vacation. MB
Have a great time….wait, you always have a great time…..you are just that kind of person!
Have a great trip and hope the cold does a vanishing trick. Take care Diane
It’s always hard to pack for two different kinds of “life”….. Have fun doing it all! The latte definitely a must!
Have fun and be safe!!! Chicago should be gorgeous right now so enjoy!!! And if you get a chance, I recommend the Shedd Aquarium:) Or a walk along Michigan Ave:) Fall has arrived there….have fun with your long lost class:)
Sounds like are are more than ready for this trip! Have fun!!! Take lots of pictures!
Have fun, Gaelyn, and as my mother used to advise me: “Smile and stand up straight!” Stay safe and feel well
Oh ya, you probably have not driven on 355, makes it easier to get around, but the tolls are pricey.
What an adventure to anticipate, both for you and for us, who are awaiting photos…and news….
For sure you will have fun in your trip. Looking forward to post-trip
