It's late Wednesday night, Oct 13, and I'm just starting to relax. Preparations, lists and packing are going furiously as we're trying to meet a departure time of Friday evening. Jury's still out on whether we make it.
A trip to Sam's Club netted some tasty treats for the road - all salt, sugar and CALORIES! Except, of course for the case of bottled water. Pretzels, granola bars, sugar wafer cookies and beef jerky will round out our diet for the drive out to our first stop, Moab, UT. Fred wants to drive non-stop, well, if we need to sleep, we can pull off the side of the road, lock the doors and snooze. The mind is willing, but our sadly not-so-in-shape bodies might protest a 35 hour drive.
This trip has been a couple of months in the planning and we're fully prepared with a detailed packing list, piles of related things on tables and floor - everything from a deck of cards to toilet paper (I had to convince Fred to also take along a roll of paper towels - I think I got them on the list). We finally picked out a cooler that will easily fit into Fred's wee little Mazda Speed-3. The only thing we're not sure of is exactly where we're going,when we arrive, or where we go next. No biggie, that's what the maps are for!
Tomorrow is Thursday. Less than 36 hours to take off. I can only wonder what we'll forget to pack!
