Tomorrow at oh-dark-thirty we fly off to St. Louis. And then, between landing and leaving on Sept. 24th, here's what we'll be up to:
Paducah, Kentucky overnight
Metropolis, Illinois - Fred family reunion, and back to Paducah for overnight.
Galesburg, Illinois - Dinner the next evening with Fred's high school friends.
Coal Valley, Illinois (outside of the Quad Cities: Moline, Davenport, etc.) - overnight at Pat's girlfriend's house.
Monday, same place, girlfriends from Illinois to come and visit, dine.
Tuesday - across Iowa to see my aunt in Omaha.
Wednesday lunch in Lawrence, Kansas, west of Kansas City with a humor writer I befriended online. And then ...
Across Missouri to Quincy, where we'll stay until the 24th. The rest of the Seattle contingent will arrive on Thursday. And then we shall eat Made-Rites and Pork Tenderloins and shall drink weak beer and weaker coffee. We may also do some cemetery visits to update our Cemetery Visit badges.
Since we're taking the laptop along, I'm going to try to do the Charles Kurault thing and send updates from the road. I also printed out about 10 geocaches, and we'll be searching for them as we go. (Don't know what geocaching is? Check out the link to the right.)
See you on the road!
