Wow this was a great trip. If Pat had not broken her knee a week before we left it really would have been a fantastic trip. We planned on doing some things, but because of Pat we were limited as to what we can do, a few things were scrubbed. Driving thru Colorado and Utah was extremely beautiful, if you ever get a chance to do it, you should. On the way out of the Grand Canyon we detoured from our route and decided to go through Zion Mountains. Just saying that I took fantastic photos on this trip but I really can't take the credit, god created this country, all I did was point the camera and click. Kansas was long and boring, we really didn't stop to see anything. We did a paddle boat ride on the river in St. Louis and I did go to the top of the arch. That's one of the things Pat could not do because of the wheelchair. I lost my money in the casino's of Las Vegas and St. Louis, no surprise there. The tour we took in California really wasn't worth the money, so if you are driving anyway, just do a little research and set the GPS and explore on your own. Pittsburgh is a great city to visit, we did a cruise on the 3 rivers, visited the Fort & Museum. All in all it was a great trip. Our next trip is not documented here, but we are going from New Jersey to Santa Fe, New Mexico. On the way home stopping in San Antonio, Tx, Shreveport, La, Jackson Ms and Birmingham Al. With this trip our little trio will have covered the middle and lower half of the United States. Onward and upward for the future.
Hey girlie..9 days until we embark on our trip. I dont know about you but these last 2 weeks have been dragging along. I dont know if I can contain myslef much longer. OH well 4 days in the liquor tent will keep my mind off the time.
49 bottles of beer on the wall, 49 bottles of beer, take one down and pass it around, 49 bottles of beer on the wall...I just thought I would sing a little song, 49 DAYS!!!
hey girlie, its only 60 days until we leave. I think its time to book our tours, I am afraid the one in LA might not have room for us if we wait any longer.
Beautifuljennyb74 As a matter of fact it's the same trip. We both like writing journals and we read each others to see how they differ. Makes for interesting reading. We had a few opportunities to stay out of town so we took advantage and stayed at a Holiday Inn and received extra bonus points for charging the room and staying. A 1 night stay gave us around 4000 points. I also signed up for every Priority Club reward program. Every little bit helps.
I am a huge Coke drinker. I have been collecting the points for about 2 years and never really cashed them in for anything useful. This is a great tip. When I travel I always stay at the hotels with the best prices and I never thought about Priority Club as an option. I will do some checking into that. Did you guys really get all those hotel nights free by drinking Coke? If so that is FANTASTIC!!!! Hey are you and hammertime traveling together? Your plans look so much alike. I like both of your trips.
