So this Mega Summer Road Trip is coming along....at least the planning of it is. ;-)
We are up to Day 15 and everything that needs planning(route, stops, hotels)is done. Now I need to work on the return trip. I sure wish I had the whole thing nailed down though at this point.
I do need a few suggestions.....
* Does anyone have any recommendations for a good bbq place around Kansas City MO or heading North into Omaha, NE? That's the stretch of road we'll be on and it will be lunch to dinner time and we can't leave that part of the world without trying authentic KC BBQ, right? 8-)
* Has anyone toured the big touristy sites in WY/SD Badlands? We are headed through there(Custer Battlefield, Devil's Tower, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse Mt., Thermopolis Hot Springs)and need recommendations on where/location to stay. Does it make sense to stay at a central spot for a few days and drive to each thing/area to tourist? Or do 1 night stays and hop from site to site? And how many days do we need to actual see/do these sites? I realize distance between locales out West are longer than out East so I am trying to limit how much driving we do in a day.
* Anybody have any ideas on what to see/do in North Dakota? Nothing springs to my mind except one quick thing we want to see in Fargo.
That's about it for now.
I AM getting a complex though.
First blogger Tanner visited me a few years ago(plus we had dinner with her on 2 of our OC excursons)and then she disappears off the face of the earth.
Then Judy(who's various blogs come and go)decides to end all contact with me.
Now another ex-blogger who I was still in contact with on F/B has given me the cold shoulder. After I knew our route this Summer I contacted her on Facebook and suggested a meet-up if she was available. I didn't hear back for a week or so, so I went to send her another message. She has suddenly quit Facebook and taken her profile down(or blocked me from seeing it, if you can do that). Really? If you didn't want to see me, just say so.
Am I really that awful or annoying a person? *Don't answer that Kim......* ;-)
What am I doing to drive everyone away?
Anyway, that sure made me feel like shit for awhile and I really didn't feel like going on this trip anymore.
But I'm over that now. I
can't wait! to get in a car and drive 6 thousand miles with Hubs. *snort*
I think this trip will convince him to go back to work and not be home with me 24/7.....hehehehe
And at the risk of offending and driving away more readers I'll ask again if anybody out there wants to meet-up on our drive out to Idaho(going through PA/Western MD/WV/Northern KY/tiny piece of Southern IN/Southern IL/MO/NE/Northern CO/Southern WY/ Northern UT/most of ID/MT-that's it so far). If so drop me an email privately and I'll see if we can fit that into the itinerary. Who knows? Maybe I'll have a spare box of Giveaway goodies in my car to bestow onto you? ;-)
Ok, I am off to finish packing for the Virginia trip and doing a little shopping before I leave.
What are you up to today?
