Homeward Bound !!!

Good morning from Provo Utah. We are in a beautiful Marriott room (I LOVE their beds) and we pampered ourselves last night and had room service. We had the greatest meal and watched the baseball playoffs.

We are planning for today to get to Winnemucca and then home tomorrow (Monday). We are both a bit tired and ready to be home. It has been an incredible journey for us. We have met lots of really wonderful people, seen some fantastic scenery, dispelled some of our own prejudices and taken some really great pictures.

The final tally of the numbers will be:
34 days on the road
Over 7000 miles driven
Visited 18 states
Entered all 4 time zones
Stayed in 24 different hotels/motels

Thanks to everyone who has been with us on this journey, it was fun knowing you were all reading and following us along. This has certainly been a dream come true. We are so happy that we made the decision to take this trip. We are also very thankful for just so many things that made this trip so enjoyable. We had absolutely no trouble of any kind, good weather 98% of the time, met lots of great people, had no problems finding rooms, restaurants, etc. The whole thing was just seamless and so very incredible.

It is amazing to us that two people can spend so much time in a car on the road and not encounter any problems or troubles. We are very thankful for that.

Really looking forward to smelling that concrete and seeing our beautiful City tomorrow. We miss our little apartment. It's going to be nice to be able to settle in for the night without having to unload 8-10 pieces of baggage onto the cart and into our room!

This blog has been so much fun doing, I think I will keep it going for a while so ......stay tuned.

Much love to all
Wayne and Colleen
