One Last Post

After a good nights sleep in our own bed, Sandy and I are still glad we made the trip and even talking about our next big road trip in a year of so – the great circle around the US.  We are debating about structuring the trip like this time, where I make hotel reservations before we even leave, or winging it and just stop where we stop.  The decision hinges on if we want to see any shows (David Letterman & Live with Regis & Kelly) while in New York.  We’d have to get the show tickets well in advance and for specific dates which means we’d have to plan the stops at least up to New York, which would be about a 1/3 of the way.

We had a great time on the road, got to meet a lot of nice people and really see some of the country that we either flew over or drove straight across while in the military.  I know gas prices have gone up, but this trip worked out to about $250 a day, which is up only about $30 from what it cost us five years ago when we went to Canada and Mount Rushmore.  That wasn’t all gas as hotel prices had jumped as well.

Thanks to all of you who posted comments or just read my daily scribbles.
