The Plan

Actually there is no plan, other than to leave from Indianapolis to Chicago on the First of August, get on Route 66 and return on Labor Day weekend to Indianapolis. Beyond that we are pretty much flying by the seat of our pants, what few pants we are taking. You see, BABY, the car we are driving is a hard-top convertible. Therefore, no trunk space. So we are pretty limited on what we can take with us. But, we figure there will be WalMarts, K-Marts, Targets, or other places we can pick up new clothes or hotels with washers.

Penny and I have been friends for nearly 25 years. We have always talked about taking a long road trip. Our longest to date was 2 weeks, so we decided that this is the year.

People have called us Thelma and Louise, but we hope that our trip turns out better for us than theirs did for them. Others have said we are like Oprah and Gail, but we won't have a camera crew, wardrobe or frankly anything else Oprah had, but we are friends like she and Gail.

I think we are best described as Lucy and Ethel.

Stay tuned for the trip of a lifetime.
