Actually, we're more like two-thirds of the way home, and we'll be there by evenin', like Wednesday evening. For those who don't know, I'm driving with Fiona and Nora back to Minnesota for a little beat-the-heat and see-the-grandparents vacation. Kris is in Denmark visiting her best friend, Randi, and will join us in Minnesota next week.
Right now, I'm enjoying the free wi-fi at the Comfort Inn in Lexington, Neb. We left Henderson on Monday at 2:30 p.m. and made it as far as Eagle, Colo., over the next 11 hours. We'd hoped to stay in Grand Junction, but every hotel between there and Eagle was booked, so three weary travelers happly took refuge at an AmericInn, despite the branch's corny corporate name.
The kids have been great, and the Highlander has been getting awesome mileage -- anywhere from 23 to 26 mpg, which you can't beat with a stick for an SUV. We'll arrive at my parents' house in New Ulm on Wednesday night, and will visit Park Rapids and the Twin Cities before it's all said and done in mid-August. Hope to see some of you along the way!
(By the way, can anybody name the song from which the title of this post was derived?)

I'll take that challenge... "City of New Orleans," one of the greatest train/road songs of all time... ft
We have a winner!
Great seeing you last weekend, too -- the kid is a hoot, and you two look very happy.
