We found a nice park for an overnight stay. It has nice showers, wi-fi, cable TV, a heated pool and a hot tub. All for only $16.46 a night including tax. This is the cheapest park so far and definitely one of the best. It is getting warmer. Last night we swam in the outdoor heated pool.<br>

They just couldn't have been any happier. Seeing their hero again--our Bob--was something they just didn't think would ever happen.<br>When Nancy told us Aunt Ruth had moved to Green Valley, AZ, Bob called Ruth to tell her we were only a couple hours away.<br>The next day we were off for lunch with Aunt Ruth and the cousins.<br>"I was always her favorite," Bob says. And he wasn't kidding!<br>It was a delightful visit and a delicious lunch.

Wow, after months of driving short distances we actually put 740 miles behind us in less than 24 hours. In fact, Ken went almost 600 miles the first day of traveling before I 'kindly requested' he pull over for the night. After a restful nights sleep in the parking lot of the Flying J truck stop in Lordsburg, New Mexico we headed out for Tucson. We had forgotten that ...

... zavírá v 17 h a tak se vydáváme hledat Saguaro NM, p&#367;vodn&#283; východní &#269;ást. P&#345;es p&#367;l hodiny bloudíme kolem ot&#345;esných zbohatlických apartnám&#367; a golfovýho kurtu, kv&#367;li kterýmu p&#345;ed lety doslova pokáceli celej les saguár. No hnus. (To je teda m&#367;j soukromej názor.) O zavírací dob ...

... manual labor...<br>Slashed Bottles:<br><br>We found a number of bottles that had been slashed in the desert. Some volunteer leaders believe this might be a new Border Patrol policy. Others blame "rednecks". Some volunteers have resorted to writing messages like this one on bottles of water: DO NOT SLASH THIS BOTTLE. People are dying of thirst out here. If you slash this, just realize it's the equivalent of murder."<br> <br>More at my trip homepage

... guy and they all had a good time teasing me about that and getting me to get out of the pool for the water weights (empty plastic 1 gallon jugs), but I enjoyed their humor and their company. When they asked where we were headed, they all had suggestions on places to visit along the way. These 70 and 80 year old RVers are well travelled and interesting. We took off for CA at around 1:00 PM and talked about what a good time we had as we drove.

... the salt chunks and taste it. We gathered some salt to bring back with us. Later, we drove through the small town nearby. no electricity or running water. They had one little store, reminded me how spoiled I am with a market 2 minutes from my house. We ate dinner and played on the beach. The kids wernt to happy about the huts (neither were the adults) but we made do. It would have been a lot better if we were prepared for ...

Probably the only Americans in this hostel right now are cooking a most disgusting breakfast for the second day in a row. Bacon. The aroma is filling up every tiny crack and I feel like I'm about to puke. But yoga isn't for another hour and I thought I'd catch up on the Internet front. I met a couple from Slovania at the breakfast table who are traveling around the world in one car. They are being sponsored by different companies and are pretty anti-U ...
