Greetings from Tucson AZ. Today we decided to put in some hours and see how far we could get. You can tell that we are getting a bit punchy. This morning Claudia announced that we could only talk if we exchanged the first letter of each word with the letter B. Try it it’s not easy. But hilarious. Anyway that was our wake up in Texas and 10 hours later we are here at our favorite Rv park. This is the place where we traded in our pickup and camper for a class C motorhome on our way to do some laundry.
On this trip all I could think of was a dip in the pool and an hour in the hot tub. That mission was accomplished and now it is time for a bowl of cereal and an early end to a long day.
Tomorrow we will sleep in as our final destination is only 3 hours away. Good old Happy Trails...our home away from home.

Well, guys, this seems to be the end of our adventure. We had a ball exploring new places and new cultures. It is just mind boggling the immense size of our country and it’s diversity. It is pretty humbling as not everyone thinks the way we do, talks the way we do, dresses the way we do, etc.
The one thing that we all have in common is our independence. This is especially true in the deep South. In fact the Mississippi state flag has the rebel flag as part of it’s design. Talk about independence!
This is the third day that we have been “home” here in Surprise and we are still exhausted. Rv travel is exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. About all we have done is sleep since we got back.
I suspect that when we add it all up the cost isn’t much different from flying to a destination, eating out, and sightseeing. The big difference in the two modes of travel is that we had our own bed to sleep in each night and that was a real blessing.
The one common theme of every day is that we wished that each and every one of you could have been with us. Hopefully this little blog gave you a glimpse into our experience on the road. After all “this is living.”
Love to all
Grandpa
