Wow, Ros.
Now thats an impressive list of cities. Reminds me of when I was a Trucker.

You sure get around.

Your list of traveled cities reads like . . . like . . . OK – I’m speechless 🙂 I can’t imagine the cleaning and laundry after that trip – hmmmmm . . . weird how that’s where my mind goes!

LOL Gail… no cleaning, no laundry. All done enroute and the house is managed while we’re gone. I believe Donny left it cleaner than we did. 🙂
Cheers,
Ros
