My Journey Back East - Packing Day - June 2nd

We're about to set off on a journey that will take me clear across the United States.  I get to travel I-40 where hurricanes are traversing, through towns that are flooded, into the land of humidity. Mommy says I have to stay close by because mosquitoes in the South are big enough to carry me off.

By the way, we're taking my minivan.  Did I mention that I have a minivan?  It's a wonderful minivan. Daddy got it just for ME.  We traded in Mom's Jeep and got me a brand spanking new minivan.  I have lots of room to relax as Daddy and Mommy chauffeur me anywhere I want to go.  If I get tired, I can go to my bedroom and take a nap.  If I'm curious, I can look out the window.  If entertainment is what I seek, there's a DVD player for my enjoyment.  If I'm really bored or want privacy,  I can go ALL the way to the back.  Oh what fun it is to ride in a minivan for me!!!!!

I can't be seen in a dirty van, so Daddy has it in the garage to clean and wax it for me.

Baby and I are in the van supervising Daddy to make sure all the dust and bug guts are washed off.

Starting gas prices in Havasu are $3.64 per gallon.

Mommy fed the minivan yesterday. My minivan has a name - his name is KYOTEE.
It's going to be interesting to see how gas prices change as we drive.
My minivan gets much better mileage per gallon than Mom's Jeep did.
