... clever.<br><br>If anyone knows of this disease, please can you let me know the cure. But please, please bear in mind that i think we are talking hours rather than days. As I write this, I grow weak. I'm not long for this world. <br><br><br>Thought of the Day<br><br>I must go in, the fog is rising.<br><br>For reference<br><br>I still have so much to give.<br>I hope men will say of me that I did duty by my country.<br>

The Hampton was nice, new and comfortable. We woke this morning, enjoyed the hotel breakfast. We organized our bags and cleaned out the car; tossed out our cooler, food, drinks and utensils then headed for the airport. Billings is another extremely small airport. It was easy to park the rental car and walk to the gate. <br><br>Let the all day journey home begin....<br><br>We're delayed to Denver, 20 minutes.<br>

<br>The last flight to Billings was almost<br>empty so we all took the opportunity to spread out. I love night<br>flying, watching the stars out the window. I hoped to see the moon<br>too, but was soon asleep, cocooned in the gently buzzing, dark plane.<br><br><br><br>The flight only took an hour so I was<br>soon awake grabbing my bags and making sure I said goodbye to my seat<br>to make sure that I hadn't left anything ...

... cheapest around .Brent also had his eyes tested and new glasses ordered.By mid afternoon we were back on the road  heading for Bozeman and another costco, where they checked the wheel nuts and made sure we were good to go. Great service.we arrived at a little town called Ennis around 7 pm, a long day for us.<br><br> <br>

... in your seat was a swearword , then I verbally abused him.. somehow, sadly I dont think he got ANY of it.<br>I did throw some dagger looks at him when he disembarked at Butte.. but I dont think he noticed or remotely cared. <br>Justice was slightly done though. Just before he left the bus for his lengthy 2 more days on another bus to New York (he'd been moaning about that too) the baby he was holding peed all over him.HAHA! Good! Wish she had done more!<br><br ...

... which is the first KOA and probably one of the best. It sits among towering pine trees along the Yellowstone River. The lawns are lush and flowers are present on most sites. We're here for only one night because Danny has found a way for us to go to Yellowstone National Park that won't be too far out of our way from our original destination of Banff. Helen has never been to Yellowstone but has always wanted to see it so tomorrow we head further west.

... the area, named the mountain range ¡§Big Nipples¡¨, hence Grand Teton). fº As much as I was planning to lasso it up and dance tonight in one of the cowboy bars, I¡¦m tired and can¡¦t be messed up for tomorrow so I went into town this afternoon, had lunch at The Rexx, downtown Billings (which is not a very interesting town as I thought it would be) and the rest of the day was planning, mapping and taking Johannah to a park in town ...

(S) Ahhh, the ever popular Billings - Romania flight. Nearly full every week. Very popular with the vampire set. Ya, we flew from Billings. It's tradition. It went so well last year when we had to spend the night in Atlanta and were completely rerouted through Paris. Nearly happened again this time when Chad's little black airplane cloud chased us down and KLM forgot to put us on a flight out of Billings ...

The weather here could not be any different than it was in Wyoming. While in both places it is sunny, here it is in the 80s whereas in Jackson, it was in the 40s. Still it is quite nice here with the city built upon and within the hills and ravines. It is a unique city, though not as active as Jackson was.

... Club off of 90. then into Billings to the KMart dealing with my own seemingly never ending problems with my van. It had been missing all day and the temperature was going way up whenever I went up a hill. I got a metal hose and tried to clean up my vacuum leaks, checked things over again and mostly scratched my head and hoped for the best. Then I turned west on 90 and stopped for the night at a rest area past Park City. <br> 185.3 miles for the day-end day 21
