Maybe one more Road Trip!

   So after more ideas and more planning, we settled on yet another adventure.   This Friday we fly to Memphis, Tennessee  where we will meet up with our long time traveling companions, Ron and Nancy Pinkerton. After sampling some delicious Memphis barbecue at the Rendezvous Restaurant, one of Tennessee’s great places for renowned barbecue, we will begin our road trip traveling down the Blueridge Parkway for a few days of sightseeing.
   Our son, Eric, will remain at home taking care of the house and working.   As winter approaches there is always much to do to prepare for the cold. Although recently our weather has been very nice, just like the Indian summers we used to know, it could always take a turn .
   We plan to spend three or four days in Fort Lauderdale Florida, taking a few sightseeing excursions like a boat ride on the Everglades and a trip farther south to Key West.
    We also plan to meet up with some longtime friends and some friends we have yet to meet, about 32 of us, getting to know each other a little better on a 10 day Panama Canal cruise.
   After the cruise, we return to Fort Lauderdale to continue our road trip with Ron and Nancy heading west along the Florida coast and on to New Orleans.
    As we make our way towards Arkansas and Missouri we will take a few days to sightsee and sample that Southern cuisine made perfect by Paula Deen. Looking forward to seeing Savannah Georgia again!
     We plan to spend the remaining time in Missouri visiting with family. Looking forward to seeing Branson one more time. This year, our Thanksgiving will be with family and people we love. It would be nice to see the Christmas lights of Silver Dollar City if things work out and all the work gets done. If not, maybe next time.
