8-4-17 Summary for those just joining the trip

For those of you just joining our adventure, here’s what’s happening.

We have rented our home in Alhambra (Los Angeles for those of you not in the know) and have decided to travel and see the world.  We left late June and have traveled along the west coast visiting friends and family for the last 7 weeks or so.  Our current plan is to start heading EAST in a couple of days winding our way through Idaho, Montana, a bit of Wyoming and South Dakota stopping in Nebraska before heading to Macomb Illinois to visit Janeen’s dad.  After the Solar Eclipse, on the 21st, we continue east to Springfield Virginia.

Staying with Jason, Terri and little miss sunshine until we fly to Portugal for a river cruise on the Douro River. Once we finish the river cruise, we fly to Stuttgart and pick up a new Mercedes-Benz with the stated goal of driving to Sicily. While we have some goals, we don’t have any specific plans. Our hope is to be able to stay in Europe having Christmas and New Years in Paris.
