So here we are, Saturday morning, bowl of Crunchy Nut, watching James Martin on the Saturday Kitchen live and writing a piece for here--and with 5 days left before the trip of a life time.
Firstly, how bonkers is my wife--we were out to dinner with the wonderful Sue last night, not late but great as a catch up- and where was she at6am this morning--at the Next sale--only she. Still she got a bargain, loves a bargain my Lynda.
Anyway the sun is shining , we have the final bits and bobs to go shop for the road trip and I will try to get some rays on my body---ok , I promise not to be laying out there when folk are passing by--certainly don't want to frighten any children or little old ladies.
This weekend I think will fly by and we will still think that there is something we are forgetting along with a little trepidation--well when you are about to embark on a 3 month road trip in the USA, you have to be a little sceptical as to whether everything will go well---with my boss alongside me there better not be anything trying to make it go pear-shape.
Tomorrow will be a dress rehearsal with Ann and Rod, going through everything again, checking all the stop points and hotel bookings and ensuring that we have our distances correct, that kind of thing--definitely need to look at the final week of the trip, in and around LA. This is one that we will see Lyndas second cousin , John, in Glendale but we have a few days after this, which we might go to a
Napa Valley vineyard.
Also need to go to Tony's--when you say Tony it has to be in a new York gangster accent, just a thing from Rod and me--- we have been in the restaurant about 3 times and it is on the semi-circular pier at Redondo Beach, California---really great sea food.
Dinner with daughters and family tomorrow evening before starting the final couple of days work next week
So that's it, all about the final details and final purchases---Oh , and hopeful for the English to win the first test with Australia--happy day's if they do :-)
