SO much to do, SO little time!
Ill start off by updating anyone who was wondering about the Gastro appt on the 17th- Turns out, its not so simple to just book an appointment properly. The secretary scheduled it wrong...And made my appointment for a east greenbush office, thinking they were in clifton park- They had NO times available to reschedule me before we leave for CA...I was pretty frustrated. I made an appt with my newer primary yesterday and talked it over with her, to see about some meds for the trip. She won't give me anything without a proper diagnosis, (some meds can skew future testing) and I can't get one of those until I see a specialist in CA, which will be weeks away...I'm struggling tremendously in the physical department, taking it moment by moment...OK, now that is out of the way...
We have 5 items left in this house to be sold/picked up...We have literally cleaned out the house and sold all our furniture, belongings etc. We have all our memories, pictures, clothes etc, and necessities, packed in some rubbermaid bins and ready to be loaded into the 5X8 trailer we will be pulling behind us on our drive...Its pretty freeing to get rid of your "things"...After all, hearse's don't come with luggage racks! LOL
The driving route:
So, I have rerouted this trip about 5 times...LOL...But we finally settled on this path...
We will start out, heading to Buffalo on I90.- We plan to stop over in mansfield OH ( around about) for a night- Then head onto I- 71 where we head down to ST louis. we might push past St louis and stay somewhere on the Kansas boarder...Then we take I-70 over to Colorado Springs to stop over and stay for a night...Then we make the trek from There, down I-25, to meet up with I-40 and then down into Phoenix AZ area- We will stay a night there, and Then finally, take I-10 into California!
Here is a link to a google maps route with our drive time and stops etc-
https://goo.gl/maps/qWBJf
We Chose a few hotels to stay at as a guide for when we might want to stop, but will be playing it by ear, as to when and where we really stay (with the exception of CO, and AZ, we plan to meet up with a family/friends in those locations). Obviously the more we drive in a day, the more miles we get out of the way. and less amount of overnight stops, which equals less money spent, BUT we wont be irresponsible about it. If it gets to be "too much" then we stop, and take our time...
Today, I am prepping the last few things to be sold etc, doing laundry, and going over lists for food and what not...Things are so busy, I almost dont have time to get sentimental, but every now and again, when things quiet down, and I stare at the blank walls, stacked boxes and empty rooms, and am still, I cant help but tear up, and think about this season of our lives coming to a close...
I Cannot wait to post pics of the trip, and keep you all in the loop while we ride out this great adventure...because, it WILL be quite the adventure!! :)
