At 9:20 this morning the intrepid travelers took off from E Lansing. It was zero degrees here; let's hope the weather is kind to them the rest of the way. Packing, except for delicate things like Irene's guitar and laptop were packed on Friday. After the talk of taking the crockpot and sewing machine, etc., I really expected the van to look like Murphy's closet. I expected it would be hard to close the doors but it really wasn't that bad. Congratulations ladies on your restraint.It was a bit of a challenge getting both bikes on the bike rack but I'm sure they'll be old pros in no time. You may notice that Herman the road possum is taking his own companion, Marijo the Sock Monkey. Pretty progressive of Jan to allow him to bring a 'friend' of the opposite gender.
Off they go.... We'll have to start watching for posts from the road. I'm proud of you Jan for following your dream. And what a wonderful friend you are Irene for helping Jan's dream become a reality.

Woo hoo Jan and Irene! Can't wait to see pics of the starting day in Florida - hope the weather cooperates!
Lisa, thank you for getting up and out that early on a frigid Saturday morning.
Jan, you go girl!!!! Irene, thanks for being there for Jan, enjoy the scenery and I can't wait to read all about the journey.
Well, I've been reading Jan's journal --- lots of planning. I think I'll stick with needle and thread and my sewing machine in heated environs --- but definitely admire Jan and Irene's spirit of adventure!
Jan and Irene. THis is a dream that will be followed -- on the computer! -- by many quilter friends. My hat's off to both of you -- but cannot say "I envy you" as I enjoy my comforts of home too much. Wish you well for the entire trip, and am glad I was able to give Jan one last "good luck" hug the morning before you left. And thanks to you, Lisa.
