Back Home: Day 1

Well, Operation Griswald has come to an end and what a trip it was. I have oodles of pictures to post and stories to tell.

I did catch a cat nap or two in the car ride home yesterday so I am not completely wasted today. Although, I have the attention span of a gnat! (Slightly shorter than my normal attention span!LOL!)

All-in-all we accomplished what we set out to doand learned the following:
  1. Atlanta to San Diego can be accomplished in 2.5 days.
  2. Ate breakfast at the Green Flash and had an awesome view while dining.
  3. It is possible to drive through Texas in 1 day--never mind what that big-haired lady in the welcome center told us!
  4. Don't discount the quirky towns along way--that is where some of the best memories are made.
  5. San Diego is fabulous (and expensive).
  6. Again I say--you cannot make it to Vegas from Barstow on one tank of gas(in a Jeep SRT8)...oh yes...there is a story to this...coming real soon.
  7. Vegas is just as fabulous (and expensive).
  8. Hotels should not charge for wireless.
  9. Sedona is a slice of heaven on earth.
  10. You must experience the Grand Canyon yourself--pictures never do it justice.
  11. Tumble weeds are cool!
  12. I-40 and old Route 66 is waaaaay too cool. Here is just one example. My pictures will be up real soon.
  13. Amarillo to Oaklahoma City suuuucks.
  14. Rich is a better pilot than co-pilot.
  15. I must be fed regularly or I turn into a real bitch (I'm big enough to admit that)! Low blood sugar is not very becoming for me.
  16. Rich needs his rest or he turns into a real (ahem)!
  17. The west is dry--the south is humid--and it definitley was a culture shock when we arrived back in Mississippi.
  18. There's no place like home. But that's just my opinion.
