We’re proud of your accomplishments and the great job you are doing raising Ayden.  Have a wonderful and happy birthday.

ONE YEAR ON THE ROAD, March 9, 2008



We sold our stick house in Weatherford, Texas 17 months ago.  Retirement came a few months later and a year ago on March 9, 2007 we left the Dallas area and started on our journey.

We started out on our trek heading west toward California and ended our first year on the Mexican coast near Puerto Vallarta.  In the process we drove over 23,000 miles and visited the District of Columbia and 23 of the United States in the south and on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. In addition, we visited 6 Mexican States.

Here’s a picture that I took of our travel map on the slide-out of the 5th wheel. (Please excuse the shadow caused by the bright Pacific sunset.)

It has been an exciting time in our lives.  We had the opportunity to visit with so many of our family and friends throughout our journey and make many new friends in the process.  We were fortunate to be able to spend a few weeks visiting with Rick’s brother, Bob, before his death last fall.

In the coming months we plan to spend quite a bit more time along the gulf coast and particularly the Texas coast.  We may, if we have time, make a trip up the center of the country following the Mississippi River to Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin.  Then stop in on Indiana and Michigan and back down the eastern side of the Mississippi through Nashville.

It’s been great having you along on our journey.

www.tinka.net Blog update

In an effort to make the blog easier to navigate, we have added geographical categories in the right hand column.  The divisions are by US states and Mexico.  Mexico is broken down to cities visited.

We had over 10,000 readers in January and have already exceeded that number for February.  Thank you all for visiting.

Regards,

Tinka and Rick
