The End of the Road

Back home

We got up to freezing, 28 degrees, weather 60 miles east of Kingman and soon started driving.  At least the coolness of the drive the last couple days has been better than the heat of the first part of the trip.  After a long day of driving,  we finally got home.   Funny how when you get home, it feels like you've never been gone.  But when you're gone, it feels like forever since you've been home.

Now that I'm here, I have so much cleaning and catching up to do it's frightening.  I've made a vow to take my time getting it done and not to stress over it. 




I've enjoyed the trip immensely.  I traveled a total of 9342 miles over 17 states.  I went from the white sand beaches of the Gulf, to the heat and humidity and bugs of Florida.  From the beauty of the South to the glory of DC. From the majesty of the Eastern mountains and tornado threats in Tennessee to the snow in New Mexico.   I saw so much, met so many people,  had so many new experiences, did so much.  I have a much better understanding of this country than I did before I started out.  I wouldn't have traded this time on the road for anything.

Now...time to start planning the next trip.
