Post 60: Recap of Empty Nest Road Trip

Okay, here are the statistics of the trip:

9,823 miles traveled
58 days traveled in total
29 separate States visited (doesn't count seeing some of them twice!)
30 nights in hotels/motels/bed & breakfasts
28 nights in homes (just doing the math!)
20 stops for fuel, approximately 250 gallons of diesel used
98 meals in restaurants (includes hotel breakfasts)
76 meals eaten in homes/or not
38 stops for points of interest (museums, parks, shopping, historical sites)
Too many memories to count!

Thank you all for your words of encouragement, your checking in to make sure that I was okay as I wandered through this great country of ours, your emails, calls, texts, comments on my blog, and your overall loving encouragement and support for my taking this trip in the first place...I couldn't have done it without all of this!  I love you all and hope that some day, I can return the favor when you take a trip of this magnitude with all the support that I felt while I was doing it (or whatever endeavor you wish to take on-go for it!).

I am really blessed to have such a great group of family and friends; supporting and encouraging me to "go for it"!

Thank you for everything!

Love you,

Nancy (mom, sister, daughter, friend, and the list goes on...)

Slideshow Re-cap

Ok, So I've prepared a slideshow that I'm pretty proud of.  Check it out and let me know if you have problems accessing it or if you have any comments.  Yes, there are typo's in the headings (thanks, Aurora, for pointing these out!).  Though it has been suggested that calling it Empty Next instead of Nest means that I'm already planning my next trip....

I'll do a re-cap of statistics this weekend for the math geeks among us (me included)....
