Another Successful Great Adventure! Part 1

AKA THE GEOGRAM WEEKLY...





I started planning late last
winter...and then the virus struck.  I still made plane reservations, knowing they might have to be altered, but hoped all would be well. As spring and early summer set in health concerns grew.  Some adjustments to the Great Adventure had to be made. 

SO....even up to the night before, I wasn't sure it would happen.  Thursday, August 6, I bravely and excitedly boarded a plane for San Diego via San Jose! (I did cover my nose.)





So long, Pacific Northwest!  See you in 12 days!
