It all started with a question:
            A couple of years ago a short conversation took place in our home. Below is a transcript of that conversation.
Avon: How would you like to take a little ride?
Lou: Sure. Where to?
Avon: Oregon.            
Lou: Sounds good. How do we get there?
Avon: Go to California and turn right.


            And so it began; another epic journey across this great country. Here are some of the highlights and a lowlight or two. 

In the beginning:
To say we began our trip without a bit of confusion and would be like saying a Chinese fire drill would be something most of us would understand. After packing the car and leaving most of our essentials at home, we took off in a cloud of dust and a hardy Hi Ho…. You get the picture.
            Our first night out had us going in circles trying to find our usual stopping place when we go in that direction. We always stop at a Comfort Inn outside of Amarillo, TX. It wasn’t there, so we went to a Day’s Inn, only to find that it was the Comfort Inn a short time before. All this was explained by a man who’s English was only slightly better than my Pakistanish. He explained that he had bought the place and changed affiliations – hence the name. What he didn’t explain was that he had raised the rates and reduced the services and amenities, but that was to be expected. 

stay tuned for further developments
