Westward Ho!

Well, Kara is feeling much better today. After a few minor ups and downs, she was released from the hospital this afternoon. She was feeling a little paunchy from all the fluids, dopey from the anesthesia and icky from getting off of all those pain meds. She ate a little food and then promptly went to bed while I went out to get her prescriptions and some other things at Target.

The plan was that we would wait and let her rest for a bit in order to see if she really felt up to riding in the car for at least twenty hours to Nevada. I am so -sick- of fast food right now, but I had to get something if we were going to hit the road and drive all night. By the time I got back from the store and grabbed some food for myself, I didn't feel like driving to Nevada all night to get there by the 3rd - so I figured Kara sure wouldn't either and checked airfares and flights online. As luck would have it I found some pretty reasonable fares for just 12 hours notice.

I went in to wake Kara and tell her what I was thinking. Before I could mention the idea, she beat me to the punch. It really is amazing how we seem to be on the same wavelength most of the time. Anyway, we booked a flight to leave at 7:30 am Dallas time (only six hours away as I write this) and arrive in Las Vegas at about 6:00 am. For tomorrow, we are renting a 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville and then we'll have another car to spend a few days touring Nevada, Utah and Arizona.

I'm going to go finish some packing, get the coffee ready and head off for a few hours of shut eye. I've probably raised more questions than I've answered. Sorry 'bout that.
