Finally going home again

Think back on your most memorable road trip.

With my car packed full of my life and starting in the San Fernando Valley ,California, and ending in Quebec, Canada,I drove by myself for the better part of a week stopping in Denver Colorado for a lovely visit with my stepdaughter on the way. It was glorious. Besides getting caught in a blizzard and having to spend a couple of nights in a little motel just before the border of Colorado and Nebraska. Who knew that April was a big month for snow there. Once I got out of the motel and onto the I-80,the weather remained lovely for the rest of the trip. It was a comfortable ride in my Mercedes E class with my CD collection blaring and my awful voice singing along with the likes of Janis Joplin, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, Elton John,Abba,Cher and Carly Simon and nobody yelling at me to stop singing for once. I was single again, and I felt free. It was the last time that I was able to drive a car. It was 4 years before my stroke. I really miss that feeling of freedom that only comes with driving… a car and not a wheelchair.

The whole trip was relaxing and just what I needed after leaving southern California and before coming back to my home country . It was a good time to reflect on the previous 18 years living in the USA and plan for my new life in Canada.
