Wow... Our First Road Trip Now That We're 'Retirees'....


Still not sure everything we need is packed... Going on the road anyway.  We have the house sitter in place, Oliver is a happy camper even though he is not with us... and best yet, now that the travel day is over, Jerry got 50 miles per gallon in the Passat as we journeyed here to our first stay, Coos Bay, Oregon.
Our first stop was in Salem Or, where Jerry had set up a lunch with a couple of his former submariners he served with from the USS SEAFOX... they're also known as 'Bubbleheads'.  I had not ever met any of them and found that they were super nice, with friendly wives and full of Submarine Stories... I learned how they earned their 'dolphins'.... hard core back then.  Only frustration is that they won't be at the big reunion in May... phooey!
