Thanks to our friends and family...you are awesome!

     Nancy and I would like to express our thanks to everyone who let us “bunk out” at their house during our swing through the USA. It was fun seeing all of you, and spending some time together. You were all gracious enough to feed us (like kings), let us use your laundry facilities, and spend some great times together.During the US portion of the trip we visited:
Las Vegas, NV Phoenix, AZ San Diego, CA
Half Moon Bay, CA San Francisco, CA Eureka, CA
Glen Eden, OR Beaverton, OR Battle Ground, WA
Spokane,WA(drive thru)Couer d’alene (drivethru) Helena, MT   
Billings, MT Wyoming (drive thru) CO (CS + Longmont)
New Orleans, LA Ocean Springs, MS Orlando, FL
Key West, FL Charleston, SC Washington, DC
     22 places in 8 weeks...wow, no wonder I was tired...you have to remember we hit Phoenix twice and Orlando twice. Seeing a huge part of our country left us humble and proud to be Americans, the diversity is sometimes charming and sometimes mind boggeling. What an amazing country!
     To date we’ve taken 12 flights,  12 trains and rented 2 cars (which we drove about 2,500 miles. We have slept in 21 different beds and enjoyed some of the best meals imaginable, (some by you and some on the road). 
     We have already taken 100’s of pictures, and have a bundle of stories. The good news...we are just getting started...we still have 6 months to go. We still stay 2 weeks in 5terre, Itlay, 2 months in Alviano Umbria, Italy, 6 weeks in Australia, 6 in NZ and 2 weeks in Hawaii. The table is set for a banquet...Ciao! 
Thanks to our friends and family.
