Travel log 5/10/13

 5/9/13  This is the first day of our 12 month trip. Going up to Calgary, Ca for the summer and then down to Arizona/California for the winter. We woke up to pouring rain, opened pantry to get can of cat food and jar of olives fell out and hit the marble floor. Spent next half hour picking up glass and olives. Are we having fun yet?

5/10/13  Yesterday started with a bang and ended with one.  Going through the last toll booth of the day we just nicked the booth on the passenger side and knocked off the mirror.  Why do they make those darn things so narrow.  :-(   Good thing John can fix anything.  A piece of PVC pipe, a glue gun and duck tape and we are just about good as new!  Still got in 450 miles, only 900 more until our first stop in Lincoln, NE.  We are meeting up with Nita and Phil and will travel together to Calgary.  Can't wait to see them!
