Epilogue

I am very glad that we made this trip. I hope that both the kids will have good memories of it in years to come. There were no arguments or fusses about anything. I realize now what a huge world we live in, and that there is no way I can see it all in the short time I have here. I believe that heaven will be so much more-- and there will be eternity to explore it!

It was hard driving over 4300 miles—next time I hope to share the driving. There will be a next time! I am grateful for cell phones, GPS, coffee at convenience stores, digital cameras, internet – these are only a few things that we didn't have 40 years ago when I traveled as a child!
