Day 19 of this Summer Road Trip is in the books. As we begin Day 20 there are 10 days left until we get home.
Yesterday we crossed off another state on our dwindling list of "Never Been To"s......
It was a stressful day between the traffic....South Dakota-who'd a thought that?.....and being alone in a car with Hubs for almost 4 days. As the pioneers who crossed this land use to say, "today I saw the elephant". I snapped and wanted to just get out and walk home at that point.
Well, I didn't though.
One more day of driving and being alone with Hubs and then I get a reprieve as we get to hook up with SAM in Minnesota.
Then it's on to Sonya Ann's house for a few days, plus another 4 meet-ups with Family, Friends and Bloggers mixed in with another four nights in motels too.
I hope I can hold it together for another 10 days.
I don't see how folks who work on the road do it for extended periods of time and stay sane. This different motel room game every night is tiring. Between schlepping all your stuff into a motel and out the next day and the never knowing how bad/good the motel will be(it's been quite the wide variety of establishments!)it is unnerving and not conducive to staying calm and getting a good rest each night.
Add in all the time zone changes we've been through too plus some days we don't know what time or DAY it is.
Both Hubs and I are a bit cranky at this point.
Day 20 ahead and we cross off the last "Not Been To" State we are slated to hit this trip from the list and then it's all familiar real estate we've seen before(pretty much).
My poor camera has gotten a work out as well. I am approaching 4 Thousand photos taken. I sure will have my work cut out for me once I get home with tons of editing of those.
Ok, I've got to get moving here. A mystery breakfast awaits once I get dressed. I wonder what it will consist of? Such a crap shoot each morning with the vittles. We've always got our dinner leftovers tucked in the room fridge we can reheat if the offerings are sparse and/or inedible. lolz
I'll try to post again tomorrow or Tuesday if I am still alive/can function/can get online.
Have a great Sunday and pray for me that I don't lose it today on the boring drive East. ;-)
