Day One - We're off!

Yes, dear family and friends.  We're off.  Tony & I left Verin Lane at 7:35 this morning.  Did a quick drive-by to Anna & Brian's place to say good-bye.  Got a jolt of Starbucks and hit the road.  
Got to the stateline around 10:30.  Stopped for gas and a bit of breakfast.  FYI, $16 at the pump.  Yeah baby!  Gotta love that Prius.  Did have an annoying rattle in the dashboard when the speedometer hit 75.  Traced it to a speaker cover in the dashboard...problem solved with a little paper wedge.

Arrived at Lynn and Don's place around 2:35.   For those of you who don't know,  Lynn is a highschool friend of mine who moved to the Phoenix area around 11 years ago.  We had a nice visit looking at their photos from their recent trip to Slovania/Venice/Florence.  Lynn's mother celebrated her 80th Birthday with her Slovanian first cousins whom she's never met.  For dinner we dined at the Elephant Bar, and then home.    Lynn leaves for work around 5 am.  Our plan is to get up that early, pack up and hit the road.

It's 9:30ish and we're all beat, so off to bed we go.  Caio!
