We are finally home. It has been a very long, but good vacation. We got to visit with family, friends and others and to see familiar places and a lot of new ones. The trip began on 5 May 2014 and we arrived home on 6 June 2014. Of course, once home, we slept for two days. Then we had a lot of work to do and a lot of mail to check, this the delay in posting. The good news is we have a week to rest after our vacation. Of course those days have been filled with yard work and other fun.
The whole trip covered a lot of ground. We started in Florida and crossed into Alabama and on to Mississippi for our first stop. From Mississippi across Louisiana and into Texas and it all gets foggy from there. From Texas we went North to Oklahoma, then passed through the Texas handle and into New Mexico. From New Mexico we traveled to Arizona and California. After a week in California we traveled north east and visited Nevada and Utah. Then we continued north into Wyoming and turned east for Nebraska and Colorado. From Colorado we headed east and crossed Kansas and made it to Missouri. Our plans changed there and we continued east into Southern Illinois and Southern Indiana, before turning south for Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. We drove from the top of Alabama due south back into Florida and home.
In all we drove over 6400 miles. Our car crossed from 59,000 something to 60,000 miles shortly after we started and when we got home it was over 65,000. The whole trip was mapped at 5,500 miles, the other 900 miles came from all our visits and sight seeing.
So would we do it again, sure would. Just next time, we would break it up. 32 days living out of a suit case is a bit much. But, we did get to see a lot of the USA and our family and friends. I will begin posting pictures from each stop. As you know, I was able to post up to California on the trip and what follows will be the remainder of the trip.
