Calm Anticipation

Well, the time is almost here!  I think I'm pretty much ready, although I'm sure I'll be running around frantically in the morning...I always do!  I'm SHOCKED at how quickly I packed and how light my bag is!  Not bursting at the seams like every other road trip. I think I finally really packed light! I hope we get a chance to do laundry on the road.  Either that or I'll be a very lonely person by the time we hit Nashville!  PeeeeYew!!!!! 
 We're meeting our pals Bill & Sue for breakfast at 7 am, so it's gonna be an early night for us.  Right now we're just chillin' with the boy.  Man, am I gonna miss him. I'm sure there will be a couple tears shed in the morning!  I love my boy!  He will be in good hands, though. My pal Candace loves him and his kitty brothers like they were her own!



On a side note, the forecast for our first stop in Annawan, Illinois is 91°!  Ugh!  Lets pray for some cool temps and dry weather the rest of the way!  Tom and I sure got lucky last year in the weather department when we did this similar route! (except Vegas...hotter than balls in Vegas!)
By the way....here's this year's route....CLE, Illinois, Nebraska, Denver, Moab UT, Durango CO, Taos, NM, Amarillo, TX, Arkansas, Memphis, Nashville, and the back home!  We'll be visiting lots of friends along the way! The other Terwilligers, the Beliveaus, hopefully the Tvrdiks, our old pal Kristin in NM, and of course EVERYONE in Nashville!  We'll be catching the Megadeth/Maiden show in Nashville and our pal Jim's coming in from CLE to see it too!  My pal Mike from CLE will be there Saturday night, and hopefully my friend David from Indiana will make the trip that weekend too!  Also, i get to catch the Browns home opener with my Middle Tennessee Browns Backers pals!  hooray!!!  We'll be picking up our pal Ron in Colorado.....who knows how long he'll ride with us!  And our pals Bill & Robin will be riding down from CLE to meet us in Nashville!  I'm gonna need a vacation when we get back!  Whew!


Alright kids.  I'll TRY to blog every day!  
And I'll leave you with a parting shot of the handsome one!



See ya in Illinois!!!
