Wednesday January 20, 2016 Las Vegas, Nevada

We didn't try for an early start.  We had breakfast at the hotel, they had waffles shaped like Texas.  We fueled up the car and were on the road by 8 AM.

Even without the high speed limits of Texas, we made good time.  There were some construction slow downs and from Phoenix to I-40 there was cross traffic.  Our last stop for fuel was in Kingman, AZ.  It was dark before we got to the Arizona/Nevada stateline.  We got home at about 7, and unloaded the car.

It was a good trip after the delays were behind us.  We had a great visit with Curtis and his family.  Unfortunately, we had to cancel the planned visit to see Uncle Curtis Ford.  We also had to cancel the visit with cousins JoNell and Herb in Garrison, Texas originally planned for the New Year holiday.  We did take the time after the cruise to spend Sunday evening and Monday with Uncle Curtis and Aunt Gloria in Corpus Christi, Texas.

The cruise portion of the trip took us to three places we had never been and back to one, Cozumel, that we last visited in the fall 2002.  The new places we visited were; Roatan, Honduras, Belize City, Belize and Costa Maya, Mexico.
I managed to find 11 geocaches and added 2 countries to my list of places I have found geocaches, Honduras and Belize.  That brings my total to 21 countries.

God has blessed us with a level of heath and means that allows us to to enjoy the beauty he created.  Our next planned trip is 4 weeks in Cabo San Lucas, starting in mid-March.  As my Grandmother used to say in West Virginia; "Lord willin' and the crick don't rise."
