Getting ready for another road trip. If you would like to go along, get your suitcase packed and meet us beside the red Prius. This will be a trip by car. No plane. No overseas travel. We're going to combine a pleasure trip with a work trip. We're planning to attend the Rose Parade in Southern California, then hold meetings that will hopefully obtain more supplies for Malawi, as well as some time to discuss some modifications to the Malawi Project website. 

The trip will take us through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona (with a stop off in Phoenix and one at the Grand Canyon), and on into California. Here we'll attend the Rose Parade, visit friends, and hold meetings. 

The return trip will take us up through Colorado, then out across the plans of Kansas, a stop off with friends in Missouri, then back to Indianapolis. So, without further discussion, the tank is full of gas, the Garmin is programmed for the trip, and we have the suitcases in the car. 

                                         Let's go. 

The first day takes us over 600 miles, and we stop for the night in Miami, Oklahoma. We will be following the route of the historic, famous Route 66. 

Our current route along I-40 will follow that famous route all the way west along the current southern route to California.
