March 24 – “On pre-road trip check-ups”

We attempted some minor pre-planning of a vacation yesterday.  The pre-planning was yesterday, not the vacation.  The thought is to take off right after Chris finishes her cardiac rehab and physical therapy and completes her next visits with the cardiologist and her PCP.  That should get her covered with everything that needs checking up on.  Kind of like a pre-road trip check-up for your car. 

 

Right now we are toying with the idea of leaving in early May for parts unknown (at least unknown to us).  We would return sometime towards the end of that month if all goes as planned.  Destination choices have been all over the place.  Literally … all over the place.  Hawaii is pretty much off the table for right now, although as soon as they fully open up the state, we plan to be all over that one.  We are also looking at a bit of a Western excursion.  Not too far west, though.  No California in our sights.  But the Grand Canyon/Arizona/Utah area does loom large in our sights.  The opposite direction has also been garnering our interest, though.  We have never been down to the tip of Florida to the national park at the outermost Florida Keys.  On the plus side for both of these areas is the fact that they seem to be opening up to tourists again.  Especially the Florida connection.  Then in the back of our minds – way back right now because of Covid restrictions – is a trip north to North Dakota (no particular reason … we’ve just never been) and then over to Pennsylvania and north again to Vermont (again … never been to Vermont).  And we always keep another trip to Alaska in our back pocket, just in case. 

 

So … where to go in May.  Hmmm …

 

Psalms 27:4 says, “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.”

 

Father, thank you for the chances we have had to travel.  We would sure like to get back at it.  Amen.
