Starbucks...

I know that it's a few weeks since we have put anything on our blog... we certainly need to get better at 'blogging'!!!
...anyway - things are progressing at a rapid rate... and five weeks tonight we will be all packed and ready to go!!! WOW!!!
Since our last blog we have caught up with Janice and Marina and had a lesson in SKYPE... so hopefully we now know how to do that!!! As well as discussions about places to go and people to see...
Ann has been over to America - visiting home, and has informed us that she has brought a few maps back... for family and friends who are going to be following us, not only on the blog... but our actual route on an actual map!!!
...and this morning we met with Karen and Nigel, over a Starbucks coffee, friends who have been to America a million times!!! We were seriously inspired and I have subsequently spent the rest of the day PLANNING!!!
I have discovered how to work the TripTik map planner on AAA, which as we are members of the AA over here we are able to use the services of the AAA... and that has been fantastic...
so we have worked out a route... more or less... although as I suggested to Jay that that was my plan for this evening, 'sorting out a route' - Jay's response was, "I'm not necessarily agreeing to it, I just want to see what you come up with!"
So now we have lots of little sections of maps... which i will get bound together... thanks Karen for the wonderful idea having seen your planner this morning!!!
