Getting Ready.... sort of

Well, the dog's fine, and I'm moving into panic mode, with less than three weeks to go before the BIG five-month trip! And why is it I decided to take the middle route...must be crazy, it's already snowed in Denver!  Guess we're heading west anyway, first toward Indianapolis, Kansas City and Denver, housesitting in Boulder over Thanksgiving, then moving on to Glenwood Springs, Moab, Bryce and Zion.. on down to Flagstaff, Sedona and Scottsdale in December, then into Tucson and Green Valley for the rest of the winter.
