Steve,
Sounds like you had the kind of trip we all would like to take, with the
time to relax and enjoy it, as you did. It makes me feel good that there
are still others out there who like to go on a trip, and actually enjoy,
the music your listening too, the sights, and sounds of all parts of our
country, we all could learn alot this way, if we had the time, and finances
to do it. But I just wanted to thank you, for your little post about your
trip, and your enjoyment of it. Wouldn't we all love to take the time and
do the same? It made me feel like I had taken the same trip......how
relaxing!!! Thanks for your post! Peace to all, Nancy
