Day 50: Oct. 24, 2007

We drove until just before midnight Tuesday and, in an unusual move for us, decided to stop with about three or four hours to go. So we got home at about noon today, barely more than 48 hours after we set out.

Our new plan of leaving the final few hours of our trip until the last morning seemed to work well. Usually we arrive home in the wee hours, exhausted and ready for bed. This time, we were productive. I brought in and unpacked our things while Bud unloaded the motorcycles and put away the trailer.

We took care of a few errands around town (including checking out the building site, where the garage now features a partial roof), ate lunch and then took a several-hour nap. When we awoke, our mail had appeared magically, delivered by our wonderful neighbors, Mark and Debbie, who managed both our mail and our trash cans while we were gone.

After dinner, we relaxed for a while. And now Bud's gone to bed and I'm yawning.
