Getting Ready...

We're getting ready for a family trip. It's been like a million years since we've gone anywhere.
Heading into the U.S.of A. to see the sights.
It's not so much a destination trip as much as a sight seeing thing. We're planning on covering approximately 6500 kms in 12ish days. According to the google maps a person could cover this in just under 3 days of steady driving. Well we do plan to make a few stops along the way.
We may change our minds as we go....depends on what's shiny and catches our attention.
It'll be me, my wife and our daughter. Leaving 20 yr old son at home. I made the assumption that he wouldn't want to tag along. Turns out he would've liked to have come. Reality is he now has a job and must stay home and work anyway. Don't feel too sorry for him though. In the past couple of years he's traveled more than Arlene and I by a long shot.
Our trip will be a lot of driving, but for us that's part of the fun. Getting on the road and getting out there. Stopping to take pix when the moment is right.
Haven't booked any hotels/motels so things could get interesting. Friends of ours have borrowed us a GPS unit. That should be fun. Nothing like having electronics along as a travel partner.
I'm so pumped I can hardly wait. Hopefully, I can post pix as we go. Still have a week of work to get through with a lot to do.
