The journey nears

The trip gets more real every day now.  No more thinking about the drive or what clothes to bring.  My husband has marked the routes and we know where we're going.  The laundry marathon has begun and the clean clothes are piling up.  What will make the final cut?  Alot depends on the weather forecasts for the states we'll be traveling through.  My car has been checked stem to stern, with some critical parts replaced, and announced fit to make a 5,000-mile trip.  I've arranged to have the mail held for 3 weeks and the newspapers stopped.  I hope I haven't forgotten anything.... but I have 4 more days to figure that out.  Keep tuned.
