I am blown away at the sincerity of people who care about our trip!!!  A wool blanket to wrap in around camp, fun ’50 retro camper pics on dinnerware, lightweight at that, and a gift card to splurge on something fun!  And all the well wishes from clients, acquaintances and family.   🙂

I finally got excited last weekend, at the four week mark,,,,like, yes it’s really going to happen!!  And will be here before I know it!  Now it’s only less than 3 weeks!   🙂  I feel well prepared, got cold weather stuff gathered up, will get bathroom bag together the next couple of days and just live out of it.  Cliff has checked and riveted loose noises, tighten bumpers, tied up wires on our truck.  Got medicine in fuel tank after finding out about a bacteria that grows in diesel and isn’t good and will be a forever thing now for the life of our truck and any diesel truck we own, or anyone else out there too, fyi all!!  An oil change and new filters will be the last week here before we leave is about here!

Yes I will miss some little people who are in my life, but I plan on  face-timing them when I can, sending them fun postcards with selfie picture from a company who does that with your pictures and personal message, and other fun things I find along the way.  I know they love receiving and opening mail, who doesn’t?   🙂  🙂  Plus this blog, I love sharing pictures and sharing fun adventures, sights etc.  Am a little rusty though, Hawaii has been quite a while ago which was my last fun adventure blog!

I looked at a road map last night to get a feel of heading north just here in the U.S. haha, have been reading and studing maps of Canada, Yukon and Alaska but hadn’t worried too much about Utah, Idaho and Montana!  hahahahah  There will be lots of tempting side roads in Idaho and Montana ummmmmm.  🙂 🙂   We will be meeting up with two other couples somewhere in Montana who are from Arkansas so will be on a time schedule so intense sightseeing will have to be another trip for our northern states…..We do plan on checking out Glacier while we are there tho.
