On October 23rd, I sketched out my anticipated, planned itinerary south beginning January 19th and returning February 22nd; a total of 35 days and a drive of 3,263 mile. Well, it is now as complete as it's going to be with all reservations made and deposits paid. All reservations complete, that is, except for one stop (2/12th - 2/15th) that I cannot reserve until December 1st.
I think I will make this my last post as tomorrow is my last day. I will introduce a new blog post on the evening of January 21st, 2015. It will contain this same chart below and we'll go from there. Have a safe and warm winter; stay healthy and happy and let me be the very first to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving, a holy Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Yes, I know. Lot o' Luck. I am not thinking (yet) of the variables and unforeseen circumstances that go with this detailed planning. I do know they exist so I'm going into this blind: Weather (beginning with January 21st), Road Conditions/Detours, and Breakdowns just to mention a few. Perhaps I should entitled this post: "Suggested Itinerary" and not tempt fate or Murphy.....but then we shouldn't go through life with that negative thinking with its "what if's" and "supposin's"; we'd never accomplish anything. Better to go with the flow and hope for the best but anticipate the worst. Simple.
"Last Blog Entry???" I hope that's not like the "Final Trip." Hey, we miss you down here. I re-re-revised my itinerary. Now, I have us going on the Cape May Ferry and over and under the Chessapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.
ReplyDeleteGreat; I have so enjoyed planning the route and securing sites with deposits. I can say my trip is "written in stone." Just 73 days left for me. I looked at the Jim Witt's Long Range Forecast that comes with the Hudson Valley Weather Calendar. For the dates I'm leaving (1/19th-22nd) "Increasing clouds, then heavy snow, strong northeast to northerly winds." So you can see there may be changes....even in the stone. That's what's in store.
