My car is packed and we are ready to leave Tucson, Arizona and begin Week Ten. This may be the final week of my road trip. I will stop first for a nice breakfast (Jerry has already had his breakfast of dry food covered with sardines in oil as well as about 6 sausages from the hotel. I have a cooler with some hummus and cheese to put on crackers (along with iced tea and water) and the gas tank is full so we should be good to go. It appears to be approximately 500 miles to my destination (Long Beach, California) so it will be a long day of driving mostly through the desert. and as I’ve previously noted I am not able to drive due West at sunset with the sun in my eyes and I am not comfortable driving in the dark SO I guess I’d better get going.
After a few days in Southern California I will start driving up the coast North and may make it home by the end of the week. I am looking forward to getting home and starting the next stage of my life.
