The final countdown

Long Sleeve Tee

Though it’s hard for me to comprehend, we are in the final days prior to leaving on our trip.  I’m getting more excited by the minute!!

Tonight, Bob took my last minute shopping list to the store and picked up some traveling necessities.  It’s written in stone I can’t drive on mountain roads without Nacho Cheese Doritos® and bottled water.  It’s tradition!  In addition to other snacks, he picked up extra items he thought we might appreciate, like tiny packages of baby powder, swabs and hand sanitizers.  Sweet.

Along with Jake and the dogs, I suspect Bob will also miss me… or my cooking!

Upon noting the nippy nighttime temperatures in Yellowstone, Yosemite and Redwoods parks (among others), I decided it might be wise to sew some long sleeve tees to wear under the jacket I plan to pack.  Not only will I enjoy wearing them on the trip but they will be a welcomed addition to my casual wardrobe when the rumored upcoming winter finally arrives here in Texas.  (It was 104° today!)

Since I’ve been packing newly sewn, unwashed clothes in case of fire evacuation, tomorrow I will take my chances and unpack, launder and repack.  It’s been a beneficial trial run as it has shown how large a suitcase is necessary for all the clothes, books, medications, toiletries, etc. needed for a 3 week trip….. REALLY LARGE!

Janice (my travel companion sister) and I visited last weekend to finalize our plans.  We’ve added more sights to the ‘Bucket List’ and agreed to exclude others, with hopes of catching them on a future trip.  We are both hoping to make traveling together an addiction.
