One week on the road! ( Montana, Idaho)

By -
     Today was a wash for me. We woke up in Belgrade, Mt which is right next door to Bozeman. We drove for most of the day with not much really in mind. We did visit the Historic district in Butte Montana, we saw NezPerce National forest, Cougar Canyon and realized that we were on the Lewis and Clark trail.

     Mostly today, I thought about how thankful I am that I was able to go on this trip. If it had happened at any other time in my life it would not have been possible for me to do this. I am truly blessed!! We are stopping in Lewiston, ID for the night and after talking to my cousin who we will visit in the next few days, we are headed to Mount St. Helens and Walla Walla, Washington for some wine tasting.

Until tomorrow...

Day 1 (Pennsylvania, Ohio) Cross Country

The sunset was beautiful over the horizon in Ohio. We ended the day in Sandusky. As we sat in bed for the night with our laptops and tablets we planned a route from Ohio to Illinois to South Dakota. Today is a day to just drive and not so much sightseeing. We are meeting up with a few friends along the way. It will be nice to visit them as we haven't seen either in quite some time. After a night in South Dakota we plan to visit the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore. It's so surreal that I'm driving cross country. I'm off again. Send positive thoughts and prayers that safe travels are in our future. --Blessings

We had felt the sting of winter in the previous days. I left the snow and ice behind and arrived in Phoenix, Arizona where it was a pleasant 73 degrees in November. I browsed a few stores during my layover, enjoyed the warm air, picked up more souvenirs, and pondered my very first flight.      Flying was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The turbulence was frightening at first, but I soon realized that no one on the plane was upset by it but me. The 5 hour flight into Arizona was pretty long, but I was overcome by sleep about halfway through the flight and that seemed to speed things up.      By the time I reached Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from Arizona, I was a pro at flying. The 35 minute flight from Pennsylvania to Newburgh, New York was a cake walk...
