Tomorrow ...... we hope

Tomorrow, Friday, AM, we hope to be packed and ready to leave for a trip of a few days, not sure how many.

It will be Marilyn, my wife, Caleb, our dog, and myself, in our little Chevy.

We hope to visit with my daughter, Debra, Highland, NY, at The Would, son Dean in East Hanover, NJ and son Brad who lives in the Bronx.

Been three or four years since we have seen them.

We will have our GPS, cell phone, and laptop. As of now, we are not sure of the route we are going to take. The GPS mapped out one course, and there are three alternates on Google, and a different one on YAHOO.

We used to use a map. There are three ways to get to the East, all about the same. One on the PA Turnpike, one up North, 80, and one a combination of the two. Nothing is worse than getting in a battle with your GPS and Google.

We have informed all that we would arrive Friday afternoon or evening. I have never driven that far since I was 76 and had a triple bi-pass and gotten older. We intend to make a two day trip out of it.

The GPS talks, and hears, I hope it is nice to us!
