Bonnie finally decided that she was ready to plan the trip. After she returned from LA and the birthing of Maverick she has been a little "confused" and very tired. We got on the computer and got our reservations for rooms and shows in Branson , Santa Fe and the Grand Canyon. Couldn't get a room on the rim but got close. Bonnie and I are diametrically opposed when it comes to our places to stay. She wants to be in Ritz Carltons and I can live with Motel 6. Needless to say I am on the losing end of this. Fortunately there aren't many RC on Route 66. I'm sure we will be fine.
