Lists are getting checked off.... loading the Coach is about halfway done.... today will be the last day I have to prepare to leave. As soon as I am done with my presentation tomorrow at The Breakfast of Champions downtown Houston, I will meet up with my husband. Time to climb aboard the rolling condo and head out on the 'western trek' for California.
Thank God I am not in a covered wagon. Oh don't get me wrong it would be an adventure I would probably love, but it's just nicer traveling nowadays!!
Oh how times have changed, our courageous forefathers had scouts, we have GPS. They had wagons, we have coaches. They had 4 rugged wooden wheels that shook every bone loose, we have 10 air powered huge wheels that float us down smooth freeways. They had to eat what they could hunt or scrounge up, or dry out. I will simply feed us our favorite home cooked meals on board while he drives ahead. They slept on the hard ground, I will sleep on the very same soft mattress that we have at home. They were 'entertained' by savages and threats of all sorts along their travels out west, we have satellite radio, tv, dvds, internet and cell phones to occupy us on the road - 24/7. They went for weeks without baths. We can have a steaming hot shower every day! They wore the same dusty, dirty clothes and shoes for the entire trip, I will change everyday into fresh comfortable clean clothes and shoes. Their pets were watchdogs who were scrappy, tough and lean, my Yorkie Missy has her own bed, food, clothes and snacks packed on board for her Cali trip too!
Oh how times have changed..... There is absolutely nothing worth complaining about in this modern world we live in! We are blessed beyond belief above any other timeframe in history!!!
