So on the morning after The Pittsburgh Steelers gave away a Superbowl win our thoughts turn again to a vacation in America.
We are now just four weeks away from leaving England.
We are experimenting with a different mode of travel in UK. We will travel by train to Manchester and leave the car at home!
This is because when we return in May we are flying from Los Angeles into Heathrow Airport, London and will then also travel home by train.
We are really looking forward to this part of our Road Trip as we are returning to the 'Big Country' of South Western U.S.A. to see all those wonderful natural features that are so fascinating.
At the moment though all is gloom in Dallas, not just because of the Superbowl, but the weather is really cold. It has been down at about 12 degrees F and is forcast to hit 9 degrees F on Wednesday. I am glad that we winterised the trailer before we left. The forecast mentioned 'ice pellets'! I dread to think what they are and can only hope that they do not dent the roof of the truck. I also realise that we left some bottles of drinking water in the truck, I am pretty certain that they will not break if frozen, but you cannot tell. Still we can do very little about it until we return there in five weeks.
Most of the essential bookings have been made and Sally is now starting to tick off lists of things we will take with us.
In Brief
After a brief vacation in Florida, visiting friends, we collected the trailer in Dallas and then headed North to Guthrie, OK, from there we followed Route 66 West. We spent time seeing many of the natural wonders of the South West as well as finding out more about the Native American culture of the area. We flew back from Los Angeles on May 24th.
