6 days. 4 days of driving. 3,233 km. 2 provinces. 5 states. 1 lucky guy.
After being uncharacteristically anxious and procrastinating my delay for some reason, I hit the road on Monday, just after lunch, bound for Lee’s in Fort Macleod.
I arrived to a warm welcome, great meal, a few drinks and a nice relaxing day of the same on Tuesday.
Wednesday, I drove 922 km to Idaho Falls, Idaho. Thursday, another 1029 km to Las Vegas where I took a day of rest to do a “retirement bucket list” item and saw the “Love Cirque de Soleil” show at The Mirage. It was weird and wonderful. I even got a “sneak peak” viewing and informational tour in the afternoon, before the show!! So glad I went. I was thinking of Marilyn the whole time. (I’m sure she would have as better seats that me!) 😂😂. My 22,310 steps along The Strip that day made up for a couple days of sitting!!! 😳😂
I enjoyed the drive. Despite Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas” being on every radio station, multiple times, across all 5 states, even that did not deter me! 🥴😉
Sights you see around 3 pm each day along the way:
So now, I am settling in to my favorite home-away-from home for my extended winter stay and I couldn’t be happier! So fortunate to be able to be here beyond the regular two-week stay! Finally, a winter I am looking forward to. 😀☀️
