Well, we've begun our journey.  The basic plan is to travel about 200 miles at a time, then spend several days in the new area and see the sights there.  We plan on traveling around the perimeter of the US for the most part, starting along the southern routes, up the east coast by spring, then by next summer we'll be up north.  So it is life in a 224 square foot trailer with most of the comforts of home except space, haha.  But we'll have the great outdoors and the beauties of this country to enjoy.  I plan on posting weekly to update where we've been and the highlights in a nutshell.
We left Herriman a week ago (11/16) and spent a couple days in St. George, Utah.  We are traveling a bit faster in the beginning since these places are ones we've visited many times.  This trip we visited Snow Canyon State Park.  It has beautiful red rocks and slot canyons.  Then on to Las Vegas, where we met up with Matt & Briannah who came up from So. Cal.  Jeff, Theresa and Lexi also came on their return trip from her parents on the way back to Utah.  And Scott flew down from Salt Lake also, so we had all our boys together for a couple very enjoyable days.  We did the normal Vegas stuff - sat in traffic, ate too much, etc.  The guys went to the Imperial Palace car show while the girls hit up the outlet mall; its sure nice to have daughters-in-law after so many years of hanging out with the guys!  We went to a buffet on Wednesday night, which definitely beat the rush.  The boys all left Thanksgiving morning, so we relaxed and got ready to move on.  Friday we drove southeast through Arizona, and are now on the outskirts of Phoenix (Surprise, AZ).  Its going to be about 84 degrees here today, so its relax by the pool and hot tub weather.  We'll be here about three days, then on to the Tuscon area.  Till next week.....

  2. I am pretty certain New Zealand is 200 miles away from the place you're at now... you'd be able to have a kiwi Christmas and New Year....
