Trippin' with Susan Straley

It is evening of the same day of my last post, Sunday, October 6, 2019.

I have decided I love seeing people and visiting with family and friends.  I love seeing new places.  What I don't love is the driving day after day to get home.  It might be different if I had not booked an
