One week to go.  I plan to pick up suntan lotion and insect repellant on Monday along with any other last minute items.  Jim is working on making adaptations to the back of the vehicle so that we can fit everything.  I’ll do laundry next Tuesday or Wednesday and pack on Thursday.  

I’m picking Elaina up from her horse-riding camp in Evansville all week except Thursday when Jim will take over because I have a doctor’s appointment.  I may start packing on Wednesday, just to be sure of getting it done in plenty of time.

We’ll leave early on Friday morning and have lunch in St. Louis.  Our first overnight is in Kansas City, a train center.  I’m sure Jim wants to get there before dark, so we won’t be making a lot of stops along the way.  Hopefully, we’ll find time to post as we go.  Jim says every day.  I’m doubtful we’ll make that, but maybe every other day.
