"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime"-MARK TWAIN

As the Casita sits patiently waiting for the next journey, I thought I would post an update on Wanda’s mom.  She had a successful surgery on her broken hip, and is presently in the rehab facility, doing well.  We’re not sure how long she will be there, but it could be up to four weeks, depending on how fast she progress’s through the rehabilitation process.  There are still lots of unanswered questions as to the future.  As Wanda helps work through these with her mom and brother, Sally and I are keeping things together here at home. 

A number of friends are on, or soon to be on, the road to Alaska.  John and BJ just crossed the border yesterday, and Lynne and David are getting their Casita tuned up to hit the road North, soon.  We’re looking forward to following along on their journeys, hoping to ignite the flame for next year.  We’ve talked about Alaska for the last four years, but just can’t seem to take that first bite of the elephant.

As things become more settled here in the coming weeks, we hope to sneak off for a short trip, or two.  Not too far, just a change of scenery.  That’s always good for the soul…jc

  3. Am praying for Wanda's mom. I don't know how old her mom is but, falling at our late age in life is scary - it is more so now than it was 10 years ago for me. I pray for a good recovery for everyone.

    I too want to go to Alaska as my last really big trip in my life but with things going on right now it will be a couple of years before I venture northward. You all take care - oh and Sally too.

  4. Awesome photo! I know several Roadtrek folk that are also headed to Alaska. You are right - just thinking about doing that trip is daunting.

  6. Glad to hear that Wanda's Mom is getting better. Hope she makes a quick and complete recovery.

    The magic of a trip starts as soon as you pull away from the driveway. It's another world even if it's not far away in miles.

  8. Hoping that Wanda's mom recovers smoothly. My mom is a couple of years younger but has had two hip replacements and one revision in the last 4 years.

    Kim's right! It is daunting...but it feels like a now or never deal. Will not know what we can do unless we try!
