I have received several emails asking if Marion and I ever did arrive at our destination. Sorry -- I didn't mean to leave you hanging. YES, OF COURSE WE DID.
Maybe I put off this final blog post about our ERT (Epic Road Trip) because I didn't want it to end. Then, the holidays got in the way...and -- what do you know? IT'S MARCH ALREADY...
It was such a great trip....and I AM SO GLAD WE DID IT, MARION...
Because here's what I know for sure. You NEVER know anything for sure.
Life happens so fast...and the changes can be both instant and permanent. Of course, the older I get, the more clear this is -- which is why this particular trip was so special.
Once we left Savannah, Georgia -- we got on I-95 S. We had pretty much avoided it up to this point -- but who are we kidding?? IT WAS TIME TO MAKE SOME TIME...
The landscape changed very quickly -- and palm trees became a part of the scenery...
 |
| It's been such a long, cold, gray winter -- I barely remember what a blue sky looks like... |
 |
| It was our longest day in the car -- but at the end would be HOME...(for Marion, of course -- not me) |
 |
| Everything in this part of the world is so lush and green... |
 |
| I was smitten by the number of beautiful, tropical birds lounging around town... |
 |
| The vegetation is VERY DIFFERENT from my beloved Iowa cornfields... |
 |
| Oh, yeah -- Marion's condo is ON THE GOLF COURSE.... |
 |
| The public beaches are accessible and absolutely, 100% stunning. |
 |
| Here we are, on our last day together. |
Sometimes, it seems like just yesterday Marion and I were headed south, laughing and talking -- with the wind in our hair. But, at other times, it feels like years ago...
