Packed and ready

   Packing is different when there's a whole car's worth of space. When I'm living out of one suitcase for a week or two, I know what to bring. This trip will have summertime driving, mountain golf, hiking and rafting all followed by a couple of nice restautants afterward for dinner. I decided to use my Conectiv black hole bag that my work-friend George gave me. 

    I leave in the morning after a very fun Fathers Day weekend; the first day of driving will probably be the least interesting. I'll head for Chicago and see how far I get on the busy roads. The days after will be better driving through Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. 

   My car is well equipped with entertainment: satellite and internet radio, iPod, podcasts, and an audio book. Lots to choose from. I'll have my cell phone if anyone wants to chat or text.

   I'll try to post daily to my travel blog but I still haven't figured out how to do comments; you may have to join Google+ to send comments. It might be easier to just email or text if you care to, so feel free which ever is easiest. 

   I'll miss my family and friends for the weeks that I'm away, but it'll be an adventure. Have a good week …
