The end of it all

The last month has been a doozy and sadly this month is shaping up to be the same. I think I was out of town more often then I was in town. My Aunt passed away during the first week of June. It was devestating to as all. It was the first funeral I attended of somsone I know and love. And it was hard. I loved my Aunt so very much. She was and always will be an inspiration to me. I think that because work has been so hectic I haven't really had time to fully grieve. I am sure that one day, out of nowhere, it will hit me. She fought a very hard and very long battle and I know that she is finally at peace with her maker. Yes I did say that.

I've spent most of the rest of the month galavanting around the midwest, visiting such great places as Brookings, SD, Danvers, MN, Greely, CO, Estherville and Carrol, IA. Don't be jealous that I am racking out Holiday Inn rewards faster then I can say supercali.. you get the idea. And yes, I stay at Holiday Inns. First off, I like them... I know what to expect. Second of all, do you think the small towns I am visiting have a Marriott? Ha, if only.

It is interesting, all the places I get to travel. I see parts of the country that most people don't, and all from country highways. Tomorrow I fly into Denver and then make the very long drive to Liberal, KS. This time I will bring my camera and I plan on taking some photos of the interesting things I see along the way. I should have started earlier, but I imagine you will all find interest in my roadside blog.

Toodles!

Okay, did I miss something? Are you a traveling salesman that goes from town to town selling tonics and elixirs?

There is nothing wrong with Holiday Inn's especially on vacation (why you ask?) Because vacation is meant to be outside of your hotel not to be indoors with an amazing TV.

Either way, my friend Dan who works for Holiday Inn's and more over, oversees the service level at many of the places you've been to would be happy to know you enjoy them.
