Civil war era home in Jackson, TN
Wayne & Jeanne West
Gene's daughter and son in law.
Famous site in Nashville
Look who is in the middle
Entering Tennessee on the last day
Sunrise at 6AM
Our home for the past 6 days
Gary is concerned about one thing...ANY DESSERT??
The best enchiladas anywhere!
Getting ready for din din
Our back porch, used for meditating, morning coffee, supper, breakfast...
No publishers were hurt or starved on this trip
Living room
Ah...yes, every morning we would gas up here and start our time. Pioneers you know!
Another stop on the way to service...pick up some breakfast, coffee, breakfast items...bathrooms
Another "rest area" we patronized.
Steve and the sisters trying to save a turtle by getting it off the road. The turgle was a bit angry, it was going to the other side...

Would I do it again? YES! It was more fun than I expected. Eleven people in one house, 3 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, can co-exist peacefully.

What did I learn on this trip?
1. be prepared to change your presentation, you cannot use the same one you used at home.
2. Women go to the bathroom 4 times as much as men.
3. On the road...women..oh forget it..
4. If it is a long road trip, take plenty of music
5. Plan your dinner menus....and don't refuse help
6. Lit/Mags: Take plenty of old mags, use plastic bags to leave them in so if it rains, they wont get wet. Literature, take plenty, someone on the group will forget and not take enough.
7. Don't isolate yourself, in the evening, play games, talk, associate. Forget the tv (or computer)
8. Pack conservatively. You can always wash clothes.
9. Try to go to bed before 1AM
10. Make a blog so the people back home can see how much fun you are having. :)
