Look for future posts
Kathy and I are going on a road trip in September 2012. Ten years ago we went on a wonderful trip out West and had a once in a life time experience. In hindsight I wish I had documented our trip in more detail by keeping a log and taking more pictures. I experienced so many new things - Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Crater Lake, Hacida Head Lighthouse, Oregon Dunes, Napa Valley just to name a few things we did in ten days. What wasn't so wonderful was the airport security. A year after 9/11 security was brutal. All I really remember was being singled out for "special security screening" before boarding at the gate and having my "girly parts" patted down in front of everyone. The other not so great thing is that I backed into a defenseless pine tree with the rental car. Fortunately no whip lash was suffered by Kathy and I and no damage to the car. So a decade later I'm excited with today's technology that I'll be able to document our trip with a laptop versus no computer, a better camera (digital versus film), better cell phone (Smart versus just a cell phone), hopefully in better or the same shape as we were ten years ago (we have 7 months to strengthen our bodies), No canceled flights & no full body scan of girly parts at the airport, and best of all - a Blog!!
For now I can tell you that we are departing the first of September, we are driving (more room for wine), our destination is Zion and Moab and we are going to do a lot of hiking! What we are NOT doing is camping. I do not camp, I won't camp and Kathy has agreed we don't have to camp. I love that girl!
