January / February 2009 Road Trip Continued

Hi from Perris, California,

Had internet connection problems at my daughter Traci's house in Surprise, Arizona so as you are aware, it has been a few days since an update.

Saturday we had a nice visit with Shirlee and Terry Valo of Wilsonville, OR in Green Valley, Arizona. We met for breakfast at 10:00 a.m. and then went back to their house and visited well into the afternoon. Finally said goodbye and headed to Surprise and my daughters house. After we got settled in, we all went to dinner at a Red Lobster restaurant.

Sunday was Superbowl Sunday and as you can imagine their was a lot of excitement in Arizona since the Arizona Cardinals were one of the teams in the Superbowl. Traci and Brian had some friends and family over for the game. It was a fun afternoon/evening but alas, the ending wasn't good for Cardinal fans.

Monday evening we all went to a Claim Jumper restaurant and met my 2nd cousin, Don Palandech, his wife and youngest daughter. My nephew Sam an ASU student also came along. had a great visit. Don will be retiring from the US Air Force in May. Sounds like a reason for another trip to Arizona.

Tuesday was another laid back day as we wrapped up our visit with Traci and Brian. Today, Wednesday we left and headed West. We met up with Howard and Mary Palmer from Salem, Oregon who are on their annual snow bird trip south. We met them in Brenda, AZ and visited over breakfast. After we left the Palmer's we continued west and met up with Jim and Bonnie Faull from Vancouver, WA who winter in Hemet, CA. Had a nice visit, went to dinner and after we said our goodbyes we went to a Holiday Inn Express in Perris, CA. Now you all are caught up with our travels.

Tomorrow we will move into the LA area and decide what we are going to do for the next few days. I've contacted my cousin Patty and we will probably get together Saturday.

Our adventure continues.

Bob & Linda
