So how can I make this connection with my daughter Becky happen? I could fly into Oakland or SFO, but then what? I don't do credit cards, thus I don't Uber or Rent.

I could fly into Sacramento and hook up with Sherry and Grant, but I would still have the same problem, unless they have a vehicle I could borrow for a few days.

Or I could just drive there. It's a 2,250 mile road trip, across Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and then up through central California. I drove the northern route to see Riley a couple of years ago, and it almost killed my old truck, but I brought her back to life!

My biggest concern would be breaking down in the middle of America, having to leave my truck behind and continue on with a bag in my hand, somehow.

This has happened a couple of times in my life, but I was much younger then. I would probably never see my truck again, and my life here in Tennessee would change forever, when I returned.

Hmmm, so what path do I take?

Here's Becky:
