A relaxing Fourth. Morning at the Y followed by several hours in my friend’s pool.
If things go well, today will be my last day in Houston for a while. Tomorrow I’m heading south to meet up with two of my sisters and my brother-in-law to start our month-long trip out west. Driving straight through to California (Los Banos and Gilroy) to visit out two oldest sisters for a week or so, then heading north towards Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, then back down to Texas — to camp out in state and national parks.
Unlike with previous such trips, I have done little planning and have no reservations at any of the parks. The only thing I really care about is seeing, at last, Glacier National Park. As I’ve done in past trips, I will be blogging about the trip at www.juanzqui.com. Some of you have enjoyed these posts in the past and I hope that you enjoy these also.
I’m looking forward to this. I haven’t done much writing since my retirement. Have just not been in a writing mood. But travel has a way of bringing out the writer in me.
Trying to make important decisions on what to take with me. Electronic stuff, in particular. Definitely my iPhone. I may leave the iPad behind. I will need my Mac notebook computer (for downloading photo files), and I really would love to take my Microsoft Surface, because I love writing on it. But that’s a lot gear to carry, in addition to my cameras and lenses and other photo equipment. Decisions.
Looking forward to traveling along with you by blog. Always fun traveling with you and your wonderful family.
YEAH!
