Almost Home...

This will be a short entry as we are on our way to dinner. The largest portion of our group is currently in Parsippany, NJ, after having said goodbye to Liz, Gloria, The Vosselers, Karl, Jean, The Buschbaums and Lisa Stoneham, who are all traveling to different destinations. Hoping to upload some pics tonight. In the meantime, here are some random thoughts:

* Today's ride gave us blue skies and white, puffy clouds with hawks making lazy circles over the green rolling hills of PA and MD. A great day to travel.

* The black suburban, sandwiched between the 2 white vans, looks either like a very important government convoy or a prisoner transport...I can't decide which!

*I remember driving through WV on a high school band trip. Bus #2 kept breaking down and had to stop and rest at the top of every hill. So instead of asking Mr. Novack, "Are we there yet?" we started saying, "How many more hills?" The answer...too many.

* Driving a pick-up truck pulling a fully loaded trailer is tiring and scary, particularly going through construction zones next to an 18-wheeler when the lanes are only 10-feet wide.

*No shower ever felt better than the ones taken after working 8 hours in 95 degree heat and about 90% humidity. This is when one really appreciates water.

*We have no idea how truly blessed we are to have clean running water, a room over our heads, air conditioning, etc... Thank God for it all before you go to bed tonight.

More later.....
