Oh, a good idea... another reason to put off packing.

Hey, shouldn’t there be a pre departure haiku in here?

Thanks and good luck to all! The trouble with bridging the bad weather with the car is that you always have to return to where you left it which usually means a major change in routes and booking. But you are the logistics wizard! I'll put you on the case.

Wishing us all luck with the weather! Hopefully it will settle down by the time you arrive. Come ready for anything. Worst comes to worst, you’ll have your car with you.

Sent you an email

Hey, I finally stared at this long enough to think about it. Where are you staying after Placencia? By my notes, that’s the last town we’re staying at together.

It looks great! And I'm envious, as everywhere I want to go involves flying. I hate flying!

It looks like a great tour! I’m excited for you and Janos, and for me in getting to spend some time with the two of you.

Here’s to a nice warm, tailwindy tour for everyone.

I was successful in doing a Haiku a day when we were traveling, and when I was bicycling. Being weathered in, that project will have a hiatus! And like you - I don’t want to totally commit to one-a-day, but will do the best I can. Truly it brings back a thought, memory or vision for me as well as a photo does. May I say — once again I am slightly envious of your tour ;’-).

Thank you, Nancy! I must give you credit for the idea to include a haiku. I am considering a haiku a day, but don't want to commit myself and bite off more than I can chew. I will be happy if somehow I manage to keep my journal up to date while on the road.

Oh yes - forgot to say that I love your Haiku. And your rhyme ;’-).

So glad to see another adventure journal by you. It is looking like a very nice journey indeed, and quite a bit of planning has already been done. You have been busy! I will love following along - either as you travel day by day, or afterward when you finish the tour. Best of everything for you and Janos.

This is the first time I’ve seen the big picture. Looks like a wonderful, ambitious loop and the perfect time to be there. Surely we’ll get our health back by then.

I sure hope you are better by then, too! But if you have to reschedule your itinerary, we should manage a meet-up somewhere else down the line. The main priority is that you two get you energy back!
