On this posting I will try and convey some things that happened on the first Open Road Trip or Phase 1, then I will add Phase 2 - USA - 2006 and Phase 3- Argentina -2008, I guess we are in Phase 4 now as we moved to USA - 2010.
On this phase one trip in June 2005, we travelled 21 states including a brief visit to Toronto, Canada. We took the opportunity as we ministered too and also reconnected with many of Conrad's friends and also ministries in the USA after he had been away for almost 3 years. I was 20 weeks pregnant when we left and was only thinking of one thing, having a 4 week break from work and my first 'holiday' in the USA. What a crazy thought that was.
Anyone who knows my husband may already know he was once called 'Jehu' - Son of Nimshi, for his driving skills and ability to endure on the 'open road' - sometimes for 12 hours a day. Needless to say I arrived at my desk in Wales, UK, four weeks later wondering if I had been swept up in a whirlwind for the entire trip!
More later, but for now some snaps. The photos will not be added in the order we travelled, because my journal with all the states and freeways info etc is in UK. Randon State order....... here goes.......
