Not my first road trip!


February 6, 2008 is not the beginnng of my first roadtrip....


Roadtrips for me started when I was a kid. My parents would load up us kids, hook the trailor on the back of the stationwagon and take off!




Once I had my own wheels I began my own official roadtrips, I think the first real trip was with Vickie Coupe when we loaded up her 1973 Pinto and took off to visit her Uncle Dick in Virginia Beach. As first year teachers our funds were limited, but our spirits were high!





When I was living and teaching in Europe, my roadtrips changed to traintrips! Bill and Judy Webb and I were thrilled when we found out that as 3 people we could get a mini-gruppe discount on our train tickets!









Linda and I have been on lots of roadtrips together starting in Europe and years later with Andre!










Once I was back in the USA , I was teaching in New York and Jenny became my roadtrip buddy! We had lots of time and didn't let our teachers budget stand in our way. We drove to Maine, Michigan and Savannah, and that was just ONE trip!











Nancy has always been my Road Trip Buddy...in Europe...on the East Coast... from the Florida Keys to the Texas Toe.. west to California and Hawaii..we've hit the road together!






So this roadtrip is going to be a bit different...first of all I am totally FREE


...and secondly I'm going with BOB!!



I'll keep you posted!!
