Getting Ready

So ...we are getting ready to start our adventure. So much to do. Step one completed: I found blogger so I can keep you all posted on our progress. Wonder about the name?It is our version of the Iditarod on a hot trail - Yep, Greg's idea. Hence my description on Facebook: A trip with my husband is always amazing, amusing, and memorable.Working on step two tonight: making a list.Of course, we have been collecting supplies for a couple of weeks. Part of our list is done.

Our journey is unplanned. All we know is that the final destination is the Grand Canyon. We have an idea of where we are going to get there but that is about it. It is the adventure my husband always wanted. I figured after 30 years of being together, he earned it. I am doing this for him but I tell you a little secret...I am doing it for us! I am just as excited.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

And so it is for today.
