Vacation

We took the first real steps toward planning a vacation today.

Originally, we were going to take a train from Austin to Chicago, and then rent a car to get to the U. P.  However, upon reflection, the train wasn't going to work out.  We wouldn't be able to shower properly on the train, and that would mean getting to Chicago dirty and icky.  So, now we're going to rent a SUV here and drive up.

This time, I'll have a portable computer that's my own, and I should be able to write, at least a little, while there.

By then, we should have been in our new house for a couple of months ... I sure hope we can trust our new neighbors not to rip us off!
