Three days to go. Anticipation, done well, adds immeasurably to the journey. We have sat round the table looking at maps and considering the names of towns on the route. Who could resist Appalachicola, Bogalusa or Bunkie? Should we make a pit stop in Leakey? On the good side, New Mexico has Hope, Lovington and Lordsburg; but it also has the more sinister Carlsbad (almost certainly going there for the caves). Maybe we can even make the fabulous Truth or Consequences.
No one has considered what to pack - Florida is temperate but how cold does it get in Arizona or New Mexico in winter? Does is snow that far south?
Someone said we should book motels - but how can we when the trip requires us to wander all over the map. In any case, the town of Why, Arizona (pop 113) may not even have one.
