We are making the final plans to hit the road Saturday, June 27. We have our home and dogs cared for and secure and all systems are headed toward go. After three bad experiences in the past couple of months: Ken's wonderful mother (Mom C) passing, my horrible kidney stones (they have names - one was removed surgically and the other two are taking the trip with us...making our on board passenger list: Ken, Carol & the stone brothers, Tom and Darrell), and getting hit by a deer, I am taking the firm stance that if bad things happen in groups of three - then we are done for a while - and this trip is going to be all good.
For those who do not know...we are headed to play badminton in the Senior Olympics in San Francisco. We are also combining an RV trip we have planned in our minds for many years - across the southern states - and then back via the northern states. Here is a link for you to see badminton being played competitively: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W71aeOYS9I8 (ummmm...we DO NOT look like this). This blog will journey our trip.
Ken and I will be keeping up with our emails and telephone messages. Jeff will forward our mail (if it really works to forward mail packages to General Delivery addresses). Therefore, we will not leave our work and personal peeps in the dark while we are gone. I plan to continue my consulting work and I'm sure Ken will be taking some work related calls. He did a better job at getting his business handled by others than I did. Can we spell "control freak?" (hey, at least I recognize that fact - don't plan to do anything about it - but I understand being aware is the first of 12 steps to changing behaviors).
My "to do list" is growing by the minute...so I will close out this post and let you know when we are on the road. I'm sure we will find quite a few Extra Milers along the trail across the United States. We, the people of the United States of America, are an awesome people!!!!
Oh yes, I am going to work hard at not worrying about perfect grammar on this blog (sorry Cindy :-)...I think step two in releasing my control is to allow grammar slips in blogs without worry. You can do the same with your posts.
So join us for this incredibe journey - enjoy the posts and photos and let us hear from you. We love you. Carol (and Ken and Tom and Darrell)

Wow! This should be interesting. Put two type A people in a RV for two months and hope for their sane return! You will return either bouncing off the walls or so mellow that we won't recognize you. I look forward to following your adventure. Travel safe and enjoy the views!
ReplyDeletePhyllis, who said Ken was a Type A? He in my opposite in that respect. If we were both Type A...well, it wouldn't be pretty. Luckily, Ken is the easy-going better half. Glad to have you on board. Hugs, C~
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us be a part of your journey! Good juju, safe travels, a lot of photos! (I just emailed your blog address to JRod...he's playing cards right now but he'll catch up later!)
ReplyDeleteHi to Ken (I didn't think he was Type A unless you had him drugged in June. He 'completes' you. : )
love ya!
p.s. Remember to let The Committee know when you have kicked Tom and Darrell Stone to the curb.
ReplyDeleteNo drugs for Ken...very laid back...my exact opposite. It works. XOXOXO, C~
