Heading Home

We'll take Unc to the airport in a few hours then meet up with an old friend. Then tomorrow we head HOME! Daisy and I will be glad to get home.
It's been a GREAT 9 weeks on the road! I've been trying to think of a top 10--and in no particular order, here are my initial thoughts:
1. Lewis and Clark--I still stand in awe of what they accomplished over 200 years ago.
2. Grand Canyon--nothing like it in the world.
3. State and US highways--NOT Interstates--you can see the US better from smaller roads.
4. US National Parks, Historic Sites, and Monuments--thanks to NPS and BLM for maintaining these beautiful and historic places.
5. Honda--my 2008 Accord has served us wonderfully through almost 14,000 miles of travel.
6. Naval Aviation--thanks to all who serve to keep us free.
7. Friends and family--it was great to visit with so many of you along the way. Wish I could have seen even more of you, and hope I will see all the Burkett clan at our reunion next summer.
8. LQ and other dog-friendly hotels--thanks for providing clean, comfortable, and safe places for us to stay.
9. Cracker Barrel--thanks for good food and great audio books to rent along the way.
10. Daisy--the World's Most Spiled Dog and best travel companion!
