In dc waiting to take off for Denver. Then off to billings MT. Everyone’s excited and Andy just announced this will be the farthest west he has been. Tim has free drink coupons so thus four hour flight should pass quickly. No crazy stories yet but there surely will be.

I got the WordPress app so I can update and load pix from my various I devices. Of course that requires Internet access and who knows what that situation will be, especially in Yellowstone. I’m doing last loads of laundry and trying to find a deck of cards that actually has 52 cards. This may be the year Lucy learns how to play Hearts.

This is the most relaxed I’ve ever felt before leaving on vacation. I don’t feel like I need to be the concierge or cruise director. As long as I get to see those big president heads,I’m happy. Of course ask me how mellow I’m feeling after showering in the RV or campsites for 12 days. Long Island girl is moving WAY out of her comfort zone.

Off to pick out some books. I have a biography I got two years ago I haven’t read yet, time to find it. More tomorrow as we start the flying portion of the trip.

We set up this blog so our friends and family can hear all about our trip to Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota. Step one was to find these states on a map. Step two was to find someone who could help us put this together. Step three was to hand over the planning to Tim. Step four is to get on a plane tomorrow and fly west!

We will try to post stories and pictures daily, if we can. Feel free to post your own comments or even better, provide advice if you have any. The countdown is on…
