WHO AM I
I'm starting a blog to just kind of let the world know my thoughts as we travel. I have to admit my first thought is that it's a bit narcissistic to think that anybody would care what I have to say or do but there it is. Randall and India's great escape, the whole trip ,comes from a place of fear. I am a bit afraid of the reaper and I feel as though if I don't live life to the fullest every second the reaper might get over on me. When I get old and sick and realize I may possibly be mortal, I don't want to have to look in the mirror and say hey, I wish I had done this or I wish I'd seen that. With that in mind we are loading up the truck and off to Beverly on June 12, 2016. We are going to travel the US in a counterclockwise direction for a year. Yesterday we signed a lease to rent our house to a young couple for a year. He is a 1st lieutenant in the Marine corps. and she is thorasic surgeon. They seem like good people and we are happy we found them or they found us. Our trip will include me, Randall the husband , India the Bride and Savannah the daughter, who is 17 and 10/12ths years old. The good son, Ben is in school full time at Wake Tech in Raleigh so he will stay back and act like a grown up. Bert, our cat will join us but he needs to stay out of trouble with his killing fetish and park ranger rules. He will either listen to me and behave or he will be eaten by predators. This is the same thing I tell my kids. We love that we accidently planned the trip to coincide with the 100 th birthday of the national parks. Thanks for keeping an eye on us and we think we will have fun.
Randall
