111 days on the road and we're going to make it home tomorrow!

     I remember a country song where he sings "Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight"!  Well we will be 111 days on the road tomorrow and God willing we'll be home tomorrow evening.  We don't want it to end but we're not full-times yet so home base and obligations but me met.  We're already talking of the short winter time trips we'd like to make to California and parts of Arizona or even Texas, way down south Texas that is.
     This year we played a lot of golf at a lot of very nice courses all over the south, we traveled more miles than we had in the previous 8 years of travel.  We're roughly 421 miles from home right now as we sit here at this fine Route 66 RV resort, that being said when we get home our total miles for this years journey will be right at 8895 miles.  A lot of miles and a lot of beautiful country and a lot of beautiful people visited and met along the way.
     Some of the cities we'll never forget like Biloxi, Mississippi or Savanna, Georgia, the there was Port St. Lucie, Florida and St. Augustine, Florida and who could forget Bristol and the surrounding area of Abingdon.  I finally talked Bev into visiting Branson, Missouri and we loved it, the shows the golf it was worth the time spent visiting.  This rig we call home while on the road now has been in 44 of the 50 states of our country and one is impossible to drive to so 44 of the possible 49 states we can travel to.  Next year it looks like Bev wants to finish the New England states, so we'll see how that goes next year.
     The passing of my Mother came quickly, after our visit early in our journey to Iowa we anticipated seeing her once more next year.  We were lucky to be able to make it back and visit Mom once more and be by her side in her final hours.  Mom was ready to go and we all know she's now in a better place and has her memory back and with Dad.  It was also good that we could drive down to Texas get brother Dave and take him back with us to visit Mom before she passed.  We ended up spending quite a bit of time in Iowa, so much so it felt like we lived there again.  It was good being with family.
     I've enjoyed sharing our travels with those that visited my blog, and I hope those of you that visited enjoyed reading about our travels and living them with us via this medium.  I may or may not have an epilogue to this journey upon returning home, if not I appreciate your visits and hope you enjoyed traveling with us.  We thank the "577" visitors to the blog to this point and hope my rambling wasn't too boring.
