    That Green Vulcan has been ready for a few days, now.. It's been sitting on
    the patio, gleaming like a new penny .. waxed, shined and fresh as a
    dewberry..

    Finally.. the time is come.. We'll be on the road sometime between 5 and 6
    AM, tomorrow morning.. Whew.. seems like we've been standing still, just
    waiting to
    get started on this trip..

    The first stop will be on the south side of Waco, to top off gas.. Austin
    will be the next gas stop and then Pearsall. Barring unforeseen emergency
    stops, there should be one
    more little top off before Laredo..

    The Border stop will only be for Customs Inspection 20 miles south of Nuevo
    Laredo.. Provided that we'll hold up for the first days run, we should spend
    the night in Sabinas.
    which is about 30 miles east of Monterrey.. With a good breakfast, there
    should be a good days run to Jalpa before we rest again.. The 2 1/2 hour run
    on into Guadalajara should be a breeze on the following morning.. Also, the
    most challenging highway on the entire trip, combined with the beautiful
    mountains and small Pueblos will be
    breathtaking, early in the morning..

    A few of the brothers from Guadalajara are riding out to meet up with us in
    either Saltillo or Zacatecas.. hmmmm... I expect two of them will meet us in
    each city.. The designated meeting places in each city are both located next
    to the highway we'll be travelling, so there shouldn't be a problem ..

    Two of the brothers in law are planning to drive up to Zacatecas in a pickup
    ... lol.. They seem to think we need "chase vehicles" .. Hopefully, that
    won't be necessary..

    With a good nights rest, Saturday is expected to be a long day, for that
    wedding that we'll be attending.. The Mexican is flying down, because she is
    carrying the bride's gown that she's been working on for the past two
    weeks.. Magda's baggage looks more like a moving project, rather than a two
    week visit..

    All the expectations are positive for this trip and I'm convinced that we'll
    enjoy this one just as much as we enjoyed the trip back in March.. Regards

    She will be leaving on Friday evening, so it will work out just fine.. Not
    to worry.. I am planning to take care of all of us in Guadalajara.. Waco and
    Mouse will be included, just as we discussed.. Wish you could make the
    trip.. Regards

    I appreciate the kind words.. and Thanks for the good wishes..

    This trip is surprising a lot of people . Just a few short weeks ago, some
    were giving pretty strong odds that I'd made my last run, like this.. hmmm..
    You'll snap back in due time.. Work on those politics of yours while I'm
    away.. lol...... Regards
