2 days Dallas to LA. 

1500 miles. 

Or 3 days-  Why not 4? 

Stopping to meet bloggers

And tool around New Mexico 

And Arizona. 

I have a Nurse Friend 

IRL in Ruidoso. 

We’re talking 6 weeks vacation 

Minimum. Post Covid life. 

I would take the

Pacific Coast Highway 

Big Sur.  California 1. 

About 1300 miles. 

Round trip 4500 miles. 

Who drives to Alaska, anyways?

Maybe  revisit some of the places 

I loved in the Inland Empire. 

See if the Poppy Preserve 

Is in bloom. 

See Death Valley.  

And visit every little town 

My heart desired. 

2 days- maybe 3. 

From LA north. 

I’ve never seen San Francisco. . 

Stop to see the Redwoods. 

I promised my mother 

I would take that trip one day. 

Coming back, I would see

 as many National Parks

As Trekki and could stand. 

All the while, I would be scouting out

Places to live. 

I still want to travel. 

It was just summers but then -

I thought why not just be a gyspy?

Take the cat and the litter box and my new knife

And go. 

After Covid-19

Every door is open to me

As a Nurse. Why not? 

Get Trekki some new shoes 

And take off -  a summer adventure! 

The worse my real life gets

The more I plan things. 

Many of these are really just fantasy

Because they will never come to pass. 

 

Is fantasy so bad? 

It’s just thinking. 

I’m not obsessed. Yet. 

At some point a thought becomes a plan 

That’s how anything begins. 

Just an idea. 

A month in a bedroom 

On AirBnB 

Is often $500 - $600!

A bargain! 


Air BnB 

Anchorage Alaska. 

One month. 

And get this-  I could drive it. 

Texas to LA. 

LA up the coast to Seattle. 

Marine Highway to Anchorage. 

Marine Highway is just a ferry 

From Seattle to points in Alaska. 

You  have a cabin - it can take days! 

Denali National Park. 

You know I love me some salmon. 

I’d have a car when I got to Anchorage 

To see as many National Parks 

As I could. 

I AM obsessed with the National Parks. 

Not now. But in 2022. 

While I’m still fit enough to hike it. 

(God willing!)

Do I have the courage 

To not let other people

Stand between me

And my long term goals?
