It was exactly 2 years yesterday that we set off on our "Big Adventure". I remember our first day out we landed in Hermiston, Oregon; the temperature was 107 and we discovered that the rear air conditioner was not working! To celebrate that anniversary, yesterday the temperature here was 97 degrees and we have no air conditioning! It's cooled off a couple of degrees today and should drop to the mid 80's tomorrow, then it will be back to the 70 degree range for the rest of the week.
Saturday we are flying down to Angels Camp California for 7 days in the California gold country with Patrice and Paul. The temperatures there should be in the 90's, but there is A/C! We will be approx 50 miles from Yosemite National Park. We've only been in that vicinity once before, and that was about 15 years ago, so it should be a lot of fun.
When we return we will be heading out for a 10 day motorhome trip to visit Wayne and Tary (and Auggie) in White Sulphur Springs, Montana.
Upon our return from the Wild West, Joyce will embark on a 10 day journey to Chicago and New York City with her sister Patrice. Hairold and I will be on our own and we anticipate an increase in smoke from the BBQ over the 10 days. We will also be getting all of our windows in the house replaced during that same period.
We are still looking into taking a 7 day cruise with friends Ron and Diane in early November. We're leaning in that direction but haven't made reservations yet. November is never a good weather month here and the Caribbean sounds good to me, so I think that it will be happening. We will also have to start looking at Arizona reservations around the lst of October if we are going back down for Spring Training 2011. So as you can see, the "Travel Director" is going to be getting busy soon. And on top of that we are looking at duplicating the "Big Adventure" in the opposite direction in 2011.
Ahhhh, retirement....Ernie
