LA Bound

So what has happened with the Murphy's since our last posting in April? Time goes by so fast that it is like a blur. We sold our motorhome back in early July as operating costs were getting a little out of our comfort range. We will be looking for a travel trailer at some point in time to replace the motorhome as we do miss camping and the great people we seem to always meet.

I am writing this blog in our hotel in Amarillo, Texas as we head out to California to see Andrea's son Adam, his wife Alma and baby Amanda. We left yesterday at 7:30 AM in our new SUV. We had traded our Saturn VUE SUV for a Chevy Trail Blazer as we needed to up the size and horse power to be able to tow a travel trailer. As it turns out it is a good thing we upgraded as we have the car packed to the rafters. This is how the Clampett's would have packed if they had an SUV instead of a pickup.

We plan on taking a little side trip to Sedona, AZ tomorrow before continuing our trek to LA as this is something Andrea has wanted to do for many years. Our goal is to be in LA by the 9th or 10th. At this point we don't have a set agenda for our visit here in LA. We have some family and friends that we want to see before we start heading back to the east coast, so no real time line has been established. Perhaps a few weeks or so. I will update the BLOG as events unfold.

Miles of smiles.
