Back Track of our week on the road

We are presently in Florida. We made it! To back track a little, on Friday, we finally bought some Rescue Remedy that our good friend Maegan suggested to give our kitty cats. The rescue remedy is for calming the kitties down which we desperately needed. It would be tough to sit in a cage all day wondering what is going on here.

To back track a little, our route across the USA went by faster than I thought it would. C-Man lead the way with his new GPS that was given to him by his dad & family. I received energy from a good friend of mine, Ronald McDonald. McDonald's had these Iced Coffees now and they are so good! I would have never made the last two days without the power of the golden arches. Thank you, Ronald!By the way, I recommend the Vanilla Flavored Iced Coffee. So very yummy! But there are other delicious flavors as well if Vanilla is not your pick. Another note: McDonald's was almost at every rest stop we passed by on our trip. Ronald is taking over the US!

I knew we were almost there when Dairy Queen started popping up everywhere too. C-Man loves Dairy Queen and Wendy's for their chocolate shakes and frostys. He had two frostys in one day! I think C-Man might have to watch his calories more closely in the south. Fried foods and sweets are everywhere where I come from.

We had trouble sleeping due to the kitties being wide awake during the night time. Considering they had slept all day and were squeezed into a little kitty traveler, I understood their burst of energy when we got to hotels. My favorite hotel we stayed at was the Holiday Inn Express. They had a great continental breakfast and they upgraded our room to a king size bed suite for free! Check it out:

We drove 850 miles on Saturday and a little over 700 on Sunday arriving at my sweet mamma's house at around 11:00pm. She was waiting up for us and gave us big hugs to say welcome home.

We walked into the guest room and there were flowers and a Welcome Home Card. My mom knows how to make people feel welcome. My mom's husband (aka Muscle Max), bought our kitties a scratching post with cat nip. I am so happy to be back to my original stomping grounds. The south is and will always be my home, but where ever C-Man goes is where I go. "Over and out, Spicy Chicken." Now to start our next adventure: organizing a wedding!

Our Journey to the Center of the Earth... kind of

We finally made it to the Canyon of Grand. C-Man was so excited! Hiking and outdoors stuff is his mecca. We decided to journey down into the canyon and that was the most amazing hike I have ever been on.

Our hike took us 3 miles down into the canyon. Our trail was called Kaibab hike. We walked down the canyon but still didn't even get 1/4 of the way down. It had spectacular views and some of the most amazing sights I have witnessed. It is definitely a wonder of the world. We even had a crow following us down the trail. C-Man speaks many animal languages and would talk crow to him or her. We are now back at our hotel in Williams, AZ where our kitties have been lounging all day. We plan to get up early and get on the road again in the morning. Stay tuned... same dragon channel....same dragon time tomorrow ish!

Rough Start

Hello there! Well C-Man, the kitties and I have begun are travels. Our movers showed up 4 hours late and pushed us way behind schedule. We are presently in a Holiday Inn Express about an hour and a half from Los Angeles. I tried to upload pictures in this business center but couldn't figure it out. So I will post pictures as soon as I can. Stay tuned for an update tonight. We land at the Grand Canyon this evening.
Cheers!

I stopped by Target and bought some Motorola walkie talkies for C-Man and I. They have helped tremendously! It is like we are experiencing the drive together even though we are in seperate cars. By the way, both of our cars are packed down to the limit plus we have a cat carrier with our babies in it! It has been a very interesting trip so far. Furhermore, my experience tells me thus far to (1) Never bring kitties on a cross-country road trip (unless you absolutely must such as our case) (2) If you are driving seperate vehicles get walkie talkies and come up with trucker names for one another. C-man is Spicy Chicken and I am rack of lamb. It has been fun!
