Amending Travel Plan

Tomorrow we're off to our two RV rallies - one in Richmond and one about 50 miles from there in Urbana, Virginia. We'll be back the middle of June.

We had a delightful dinner with Billie and Al Brown last evening at Red Lobster. They have been out West several times and pointed out to us that if we leave in July we'll be hitting the peak for campgrounds and sights busy with school kids and the peak for heat.

Our new plan is that we'll leave early in August and head the Northern route.....stopping in Dayton, Ohio to see my sister and in Kansas City to have the brake light kit for towing installed on our new Chevy Malibu.......with Yellowstone as our first major stop.

That will put us returning the Southern route through Texas so we can visit Mother and my brother. If the timing is right, it's possible we'll just go straight on over to Florida for the winter.

There are several things I like about this new plan: 1. That will give us about 6 weeks at home so I can complete a few projects and have time to think through what all we'll want to take with us. 2. Ed is due for a CAT scan in July so this will be done here in Virginia with his own oncologist. We're remaining hopeful that things will remain stable in that regard.... 3. We will hit the weather better by going North first and less crowds by going later in the summer.

To be continued.....!
