Getting Our Route 66 Kicks

Haven’t posted for a while, we are nine days into our long time dream Route 66 trip.  Trying to wedge this trip in between chemo sessions. Didn’t want this forum to become a travel blog but thought you may want to know whats up.  We drove down to Santa Monica, stopping to see Katie, Scott and grandkids on the way.  Set out July 15 headed east from Santa Monica.  First night Needles CA, then Williams AZ, Winslow AZ, Albuquerque NW, Tucumcari NM and tonight Shamrock TX.  We’ve seen and done more than we imagined possible and more than I can describe here.  Today we reached the midpoint in Adrian TX.  Soon we will have to decide when to head for home.  We don’t have time enough to go all the way to Chicago as much as I wish we could.  Another trip for another time I hope.  I’ve been posting daily on Facebook.  If you do that and want to follow us,  friend me and I’ll hook you up.

The best part about our trip is that I feel terrific and have largely been able to ignore the entire cancer thing.

It has been a kick!!!

  1. Rebecca says, “it’s a nice picture, for Texas.” Winslow az, first heard from Jackson Browne, a long x5 lost relative. Was doing some fun hedge trimming last night and the end of day was halcyon (word from my crossword dad), really glad you two are happy.

  2. Glad you are two are having a great time. Diane and I visited the La Posada hotel in Winslow AZ while staying at an RV park near Meteor Crater; a Santa Fe Railway hotel built for the Fred Harvey Company in 1929. Had a great lunch there and really enjoyed finding out about the history of the hotel and its former patrons. Wishing you the very best for the rest of your journey and return home.
