Day 2

I am on my way --Hooray! 

With amazing help from Kristi, I was off an hour late, got mobile home ready to leave for a few months, got lost to waste a little more time, and made it into Georgia and a very nice Days Inn,  to take a swim, watch most of an incredible PBS of FDR and a good night's sleep. 

I am 100 mile behind, may make it up today--we'll see. I made good my promise to stop at (nearly) every rest stop.

Sending you love, Alia

 Dear Voyage Followers, I am home in Florida and 3/4 unpacked and resettled, so I guess it is time to end this segment of my life's voyage; Coming home has it's challenges, but it is working, inch by inch. In some ways it is good to be back--in other ways, sad. I shall miss the journey, the friends old and new, and getting to know my relatives better. As beautiful and as wonderful this country is, the most special part of my trip was the personal connections, and the memories of each one.

It is my intention to continue writing weekly, perhaps for my own sake, but welcome readers who wish to...

 At last I can write more--It has been a very long time!  I am now at Mackensie Bridge Oregon attending a Village Harmony singing camp for a week. The last week I spent in a campground near by, with trees over 100 feet tall--maybe even 150, since I paced one and got to where the tree had fallen across a road and was cut short at over 100 feet. It had the Mackensie river running through it, with most campers carrying kayaks and rafts--no one invited me to join them! I have realized that campgrounds are the most difficult because almost everyone is part of a couple, a family or close friends, so I miss my community more. When I drive or sleep in my car I do not feel so alone. Now I have many new friends, and received an offer to go to Washington State and have a free place to stay--maybe I will! The Pacific Ocean was beautiful, but cold for me, so I did not stay too long. I loved Crater Lake, where I took the trolley tour--a very good way to see it without driving!!! Then I had ...
