Journey vs. Destination

At this time next week, hopefully we’ll be pulling into a hotel in Arizona. I hope.

This weekend was about getting all our errands done. We went to the car rental agency and sat in the cars that might be assigned to us to make sure they were comfortable enough for long drive. We got a large cooler for storing food (not the cold food but food that shouldn’t get hot if left in the car). C checked that the car emergency kit had enough stuff (once we put back in the jumper cables). We decided our first aid kit needs an update but other than that we are ready to go.

In fact, we could go today. Just pick up the rental and hop in the car. Of course, I haven’t packed clothes but, really, do we need them? All across the country, everywhere we are staying, there are Gaps and Old Navys and Targets and Nordstroms’ and REIs. Except maybe Wells, Nevada but that is only 12 hours from when we arrive back at home.

Since the packing is a little daunting, I told C that we could head out without clothes. His response was to ask if we shouldn’t wear something initially, to drive in.

Yes, dear, probably so.
