Hi Denny and Donna, I’m just now catching up on your trip. As I sit here at work waiting for a call to come I have been traveling with you from Cross Junction to where you are now cruising on the Pacific Ocean. I’ve enjoyed the history lessons and the pictures. What an incredible travel log/journal you are creating!
Oops wasn’t finished. Hit send too soon. You were in Knoxville the weekend Jack and I were heading out of town for Key West. After our first overnight in Lexington our next stop was outside Knoxville two days after you were there in Maryville where I went to college. We were hot on your trail! Blacksburg and Bristol were stops on the train I took from Jersey to Knoxville for four years of college.
Did it again. Found out you can’t press “return” cause it sends the comment. When you were in Phoenix you were very close to Eric and Drea who live in the historic area of the city. Glad you are enjoying your time on the cruise, especially the relaxing part after all the driving and touring you had been doing. Love that you learn the day from the elevator rug! Okay think that catches me up on your trip. I Look forward to following you each day from now on. Love to you both, Sandy
