What's all this? Moving to A-town? We must chat! In fact, I might text/call while relaxing at my mom-in-law's lakefront home. Must hear updates! And no apologies necessary for "rudeness" --- it's good to be missed, ya know. :-) What’s all this? What’s all this? Moving to A-town? We must chat!

The Pacific is indeed a sight to behold. I wish we could have stayed longer, but neither of us had any idea of the rat's nest of traffic that is Santa Monica. I mean, we drove through LA proper, and traffic was much more manageable there! Glad you got to go on a little jaunt yourself. Being retired is supposed to be all relaxation, but when you're up north, it's like old times, eh??? Thanks, pal! The Pacific is indeed a sight to behold.

I'm not trying to be rude.... but if you could come home sometime, that'd be excellent. Much to discuss, we have. Especially if myself and the hub find ourselves moving to Ashland like... soon. Like. Very soon. It'll be grand, I feel, for Heffe and I to escape from S-Land. Maybe better all-around. We'll talk soon. Enjoy gambling. I’ve definitely enjoyed your vacation! Now….

Quite a sight! Isn't it vast! I've really enjoyed your travelogue, both verbal and pictorial. I'm thrilled that you're having a great time and a well earned tremendous vacation. While your exploring Rt. 66 et al, we've made a small trip to Hoosier country to see family -- a son and his tribe (they now have 5 kids) and my mother. But we'll be home before you are. Continued safe travels to you. Congrats! You’ve made it all the way to the Pacific! Quite a sight! Isn’t it vast! I’ve really enjoyed your travelogue, both verbal and pictorial.

I would love for you guys to go over and DVR Mad Men! Just call Aunt Mavis to get the key. Your mechanic story is hilarious! And yep, most of the motor court motels we saw are still open and running. Some of them looked...well...<em>questionable.</em> HA. But the sheer number of them is amazing, truly. I'm so glad you've enjoyed following our journey -- it's definitely the "biggest" thing the Thriller and I have ever done. We feel very fortunate and blessed that we could do something like this. Again, thanks for the offer to DVR..you are the best! Love you! We will try not to lose the farm, LOL Helen, thank you! I would love for you guys to go over and DVR Mad Men!

It's fun to vacation vicariously through y'all, LOL! The motor court motels are cool. Were any of them still operating as motels? My dad's eccentric mechanic owns an old motor court motel that he converted to a resting place for European classic cars. All the rooms are parts storage. It's very odd, needless to say. And isn't the Pacific ocean absolutely beautiful? Sorry to hear about the Madmen! Would you like us to DVR it for you; it's playing again later on today I see. You can just pop over and watch it when you get back. Do you guys have a DVR? We can go over to your place and record it for you if so. Hope you're having a blast and winning big money!
