Departure Date Determined

We've decided on a departure date. It's Thursday, September 4, 2008. First stop, Vegas. Looks like we'll be staying at the Golden Nugget downtown. It's been recently remodeled and we haven't been in that area for decades.

Talk to you then.

Hoaning the Itinerary

Our travel dates are centered around the Charles patriarchs moving from Wisconsin Rapids to the Milwaukee area. Sue and Randy are scheduled to be out of their home of 28 years by September 15th. So we plan to be there by the 11th to help pack up. Then it will be down to Milwaukee and Sheboygan until the 30th of September when we plan to head to Vermont for a few days with the Dixons.

Ahhh, but before our arrival in Wisconsin, we plan to stop in Vegas, Zion and Bryce, and Mount Rushmore. I think I could bypass Vegas, but I've never been able to walk the strip without excruciating pain. Tony and I haven't seen Fremont Street since it's been covered either. So we'll see that too. And before all that, the new bridge at Hoover Dam.

So it looks like Travel Day 1 will consist of:

1) Leave SD (early)
2) Drive directly to Hoover Dam
3) Drive to and walk the Vegas strip
4) See Fremont St


Will probably spend the night in Vegas. If it's a week day lodging is a steal.
