Okay- first day of vacation. It is my get ready day. I just knew that trying to get ready for vacation while working would be too much. I am a wimp these days. However, the main purpose of this vaca is to relax, chill, de-stress so starting off in a rush just seems wrong. I have my day to prep, pack and pamper. I’ll get my clothes cleaned, go for a walk and get my nails done. Also, I’ll review my plans. Tomorrow I pick up my car and head upstate to stay with the bestest of friends! Their home is so lovely it is like a little get away. Then onwards north to mountains,hiking and sitting looking at the woods sipping wine from my balcony. Then to the shore, where I will do some more hiking and more sitting on balconies sipping wine.
Now we don’t a vanagon as of yet but this little vaca is an experiment into trsveling through America. The variances is terrain, trees, people, food and drink is what this is all about. I also need to see how well I handle all the driving. Used to be I could drive all day for days and hopefully still can. I love to drive but standing up after being in the car for hours is proving to be difficult. Pictures from today’s beginning:
