Adios Arizona

Today is our last day in Arizona.  Bright and early Sunday morning we hitch up and head out.  You know the old saying "Go West young man"?  Well we're not so young and we're heading east.

The last few days have been warm and relaxing.  We have been doing a fair bit of lounging around the pool.  Other than that just chores and packing up for our trip.

Yesterday, we walked down the road to Eva's.  A local Mexican restaurant.  Our meals were very tasty.  Wayne had a huge burrito and I had chicken fajitas.  We shared a bowl of nachos and dip as well as a huge and delicious dessert.  Ha ha - dessert in the desert.

I know, the sun is turning my brain to mush.  Checking ahead on the weather site, we should have warm and sunny days for at least the first part of our journey.  No rushing on this trip.  We'll drive for a couple of days and then stop for a couple of nights to rest and sight see.  We scheduled a couple of stopovers  in some of the same locales as last year.

We are staying two nights in Amarillo.  We have never stayed overnight in Texas before.  I'll get to put a new state sticker on my travel map. Two nights in Springfield, Missouri - the flagship store for Bass Pro Sports is here.  This is an amazing store.  We will definitely be stopping and shopping.  We are also spending two nights in Indianapolis.  Never been there before.  Our last two night stopover will be in Middlebury, Indiana - heart of Amish country.  Wayne's lips are smacking already.  He loves that Mennonite/Amish food.

We should be arriving in Waterloo on the 14th of April.  Hope to see many of you soon.  Keep watching the blog - I'll try to update daily dependent on Internet availability.
